The Wonder of Being:
Awakening to an Intimacy Beyond Words
This programme is not currently scheduled.
This course does not require previous participation in an Experience Week.
Jeff Foster
What if life is infinitely simpler than you ever imagined?
Many of us seem to find ourselves living in the future, always seeking and striving for wealth, success, love, fulfillment, even spiritual enlightenment. Yet right at the heart of life there is an intimacy, a simplicity, a wholeness that is totally beyond words – and which cannot be reached through any kind of effort. In our attempts to change, to improve ourselves or become enlightened, we end up ignoring this wordless intimacy which is our birthright and our true home.
In this 3-day intensive Jeff Foster shares the timeless message of nonduality, something that is ultimately impossible to put into words, in a simple, human and down-to-earth way. Believing that the truth - that which is present and alive - is absolutely free and cannot be captured by any one ideology or philosophy, Jeff proposes instead that it can be shared, in friendship and openness, with those who are open to going beyond what they believe. With great humour, compassion and clarity he reminds us of something we have always known – that life, as it is, is a miracle… and beyond our thoughts, we are already free.
Jeff creates a friendly and informal atmosphere in his workshops, with opportunity to question or simply sit in silence.
What is nonduality?
'Nonduality' simply means "not two".
It is a word which points to the non-existence of separation.
In reality, there are no separate 'objects' or 'individuals'.
No 'inside' separate from 'outside'.
No 'me' separate from 'you'.
No 'seeker' separate from what is sought.
There is only Life, appearing as everything.
Only Oneness, playing the game of being a world.
Only nothing, dancing as everything.
There is no 'person' in control of life.
Nobody there pulling the strings.
No 'individual' separate from the whole.
No wave separate from the ocean.
There is nothing to find, because nothing has ever been lost.
Right here and right now, THIS is already the wholeness you seek.
And beyond thought, beyond time, you have always known this.
Life Without A Centre is life - as it is -
seen with brand new eyes.
