THE DEEP HEART - Coming home to the intimacy of the present moment
3-Day weekend intensive in The Netherlands
Fri 20 - Mon 23 October 2023
Zonheuvel Conference Centre in Doorn, The Netherlands
A 3-day Weekend Intensive
Do you long to find peace, stillness and joy, even in times of fear, loss, uncertainty and heartbreak? Then join spiritual teacher Jeff Foster for a weekend of rest, inspiration and deep compassion. Explore the place where profound spirituality meets our deepest humanity.
During the weekend Jeff will gently and lovingly guide you to recognizing the perfection in your imperfections, the beauty in your confusion, the sacredness in your sorrow. He will invite you to slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and fall in love with both the excitement and boredom of your days.
Jeff holds a safe, loving, agenda-free space, in which we can see our struggles, our fears, and our sufferings in a fresh new light. With his trademark humanness and humour, heartfelt talks, guided meditations, and honest dialogues, he shares a sacred jewel of inner peace and aliveness amidst the noise and mess of everyday life.
This will be a weekend of resting deeply with like-minded friends, of letting go of the exhausting search for ‘something more’; a weekend of being present, aware and alive, meeting whatever arises in ourselves and each other.
Whether you are struggling with your life and are looking for peace and space amidst the chaos, or you are a healer or therapist interested in meeting your clients in a new way, this weekend intensive is for you. It’s a great chance to dive into Jeff’s inspiring and comforting message and discover the Deep Heart of the present moment.
We look very much forward to meeting you in Zonheuvel in The Netherlands!
“Accept your non-acceptance in the moment.
Forgive your inability to forgive.
Surrender to your lack of surrender.
This is the pathless path!”
~ Jeff Foster
“This was a very good weekend, the catering and care were excellent, and Jeff was just Jeff: light, clear, funny, confronting, loving and touching. Enlightenment appeared again to be that ‘forgotten’ simplicity to ‘just’ live life…. I feel fulfilled, light and spacious after this weekend.”
– V.R.
“Jeff has no lineage. So, he has no spiritual guru baggage to carry around. His meetings are just raw, naked, unconditional love. This is a new teacher for a new time with a timeless message.”
– R.P.
AN IMMERSION IN PRESENCE – Awakening to the ordinary miracle of being alive
7-Day retreat with silent meals in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes
Fri 24 Nov - Fri 1 Dec 2023
Chateau Frandeux in Frandeux, Belgium
A 7-day ‘Deep Rest’ retreat
This retreat is a profound gift to yourself: an invitation to stop running away from life! To turn towards your joy, your bliss, your pain and your sorrow, and embrace what arises in loving arms. To discover Who You Really Are. To rest from the exhaustion of modern living, to turn towards your heart and experience what is truly alive within you. It is an invitation to fully experience yourself, the dark and the light, the comfortable and the uncomfortable parts. It’s a chance to dive deeply into Jeff’s heart-opening message, surrounded by peaceful nature, nourished by good food, supported in a safe and nurturing environment with like-minded friends…
Through heartfelt talks, guided meditations, silence, personal stories and honest, playful dialogues, Jeff will remind you that you are perfect and whole, exactly as you are. Jeff will guide you in staying present and connected with yourself, when confronted with the ‘mess’ of your life. He will help you face your difficult feelings, uncomfortable urges, painful longings or bodily contractions with a little more courage, a little more presence, a little more faith, a little more grace.
Come join us and discover that you were never broken, never un-whole, never un-enlightened, and there was never anything to fix. Wake up to the miracle of being alive, and find true sanctuary within, no matter what life brings to you.
We look forward to seeing you at this retreat in Château Frandeux!
Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts, your longings, your fearful thoughts:
they are not mistakes, and they aren’t asking to be ‘healed’.
They are asking to be held.
Here, now, lightly, in the loving, healing arms of present awareness…
– Jeff Foster
“I was touched by Jeff’s unconditional welcoming, by his simplicity and honesty. I appreciated his ability not to provide answers, not to orient people towards his personal inclinations, but rather gently being totally present for everyone. I felt accepted as never before…This retreat was very different from many others I did in the past twenty years: not the kind where you feel ‘high’ just to get even lower when you go back to ordinary life, not the kind where you understand everything but actually fail to integrate anything… This may be the most valuable gift life ever gave me, and I am grateful for that.” – D.H.
“What happened in that retreat is inexplicable. Something very profound changed forever… I do not need ‘me’ anymore… The Presence that expressed itself through Jeff, the depth of being cannot be explained, but so deeply felt. That was like a recognition in the heart of something so big that it cannot be put into words.” – J.P.
“The retreat was the most deeply relaxing experience I’ve ever had. It was really beautiful to be able to sink completely into stillness and the mystery that all of this is. For the largest part of the retreat, the sensation of ‘heart opening’ was felt as a virtual constant, something not experienced so deeply and prolonged so far.” – A.G.
“Jeff has no lineage. So, he has no spiritual guru baggage to carry around. His meetings are just raw, naked, unconditional love. This is a new teacher for a new time with a timeless message.” – R.P

“Enlightenment is not an escape from pain, sadness, boredom, anger.
It’s always there, right in the midst of all these experiences.” - Jeff Foster
