there am I in the midst of them." - Jesus

Open Meetings in Nonduality (Advaita) with Jeff Foster
"To meet Jeff is to meet the embodiment of Oneness, not just the talk of it. He sees that no word could ever capture 'this'. He knows that he is not a teacher. Yet he knows also that people come to him seeking to be taught what 'this' is. His absence allows for pure love to express itself without trying to stay within any particular lineage or way of expressing the inexpressible. That is the hallmark of a 'good' nondual expression. It's that free, like water flowing wildly down a stream.
The value in Jeff's sharing is not that you will walk away with fancy nondual concepts, but rather you will walk away as nothing, seeing yourself in everything. Those who meet Jeff see that nonduality is not about doctrine or dogma. It is not about positions such as 'there is no self'. When you meet Jeff, you meet that which is free of all positions. Therefore you meet love. You meet yourself."
- Scott Kiloby, author of "Love's Quiet Revolution"
The open meetings are always very friendly and informal, 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. Some of the meetings are small and intimate, with only a few people, some are larger. But the message is always the same: what's happening presently is the only miracle, and you are already Home. We hope to see you soon!

"Beyond the words, something else is happening, and it’s too extraordinary to talk about. These meetings aren’t really meetings at all: they are bonfires,
in which all the questions of the mind unravel and burn up, leaving
only the wonder of what is. Actually, nothing can be said about this
burning, because even the attempt to talk about the burning burns up in
this! And yet, words continue to come, and life continues to unfold,
and it’s quite clear that we are not in control of this astonishing
dream world, and that we are constantly being embraced by Oneness, in
each and every moment, from cradle to grave, and beyond..."
- From the introduction to The Revelation of Oneness
