"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, with Jeff Foster "A direct confrontation with your own absence"  If there is a readiness to hear this message, you may find yourself coming along to one of our meetings in nonduality. These meetings are very friendly and playful, and there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions, if questions arise. And of course, if you just want to sit in silence and listen, then that's fine too. Whatever happens is always appropriate. In a playful atmosphere of absolute and unconditional acceptance, there can be a resonance which is beyond all words, beyond all concepts, beyond all thought. It is a direct confrontation with your own absence... an absence which is finally revealed as a perfect presence, a life without a centre. And in a life without a centre, in the space where a solid "person" used to be, there is only ever ease, only ever lightness, only ever a joyful spontaneity, only a life living itself. But it's nothing a seeking mind could ever hope to find. See you there!

If there is a readiness to hear this message, you
may find yourself coming along to our Retreat in beautiful
This retreat is part of the Kalikalos 2008 summer school. Kalikalos offers workshop holidays and living-in-community guest weeks in a rare unspoilt region of Greece, as yet undiscovered by foreign tourism. Located near spectacularly crystal clear beaches this is the area where, according to legend, Cheiron Centaur, founded one of the earliest known healing schools– Home of the Healing Arts - on Pilion mountain. Three miles from the Aegean sea in mainland Greece near the touristic island of Skiathos, Kalikalos follows Cheiron’s ancient tradition with a summer programme of holistic workshops, retreats and alternative holidays with a difference… Info The retreat will follow pretty closely the usual rhythms of this Centre. Before breakfast we anticipate a few participants and/or Centre staff will offer stretching, Qi Qong, Tai Chi or Hatha Yoga. From about 10am to 1 pm we will meet as a group to discuss whatever questions arise and whatever clarifications can be made about our concepts of liberation, awakening, and enlightenment. In the afternoon Jeff will be available for 1-1 interviews. Costs
How to Book A £100 / €150 euro DEPOSIT (refundable, less an 8% service charge, up to 30 days prior to your workshop) reserves your place. Only 14 places are available, so book ASAP!

"Beyond the binary oppositional structure of language, beyond all dualistic and paradoxical notions of good and evil, self and no-self, beginning and end, light and dark, God and the devil, Heaven and Hell, Nirvana and Samsara, duality and non-duality; beyond all mind-created isolation and separation and fragmentation, there is this, the undeniable simplicity and utter obviousness of this moment, in which everything presently arises, including the idea of the "person"...
