AboutĀ Jeff
Venerable Master! I'm going to pretend I'm not pinned to the wall by a thousand spears and tell you about the wizard named Jeff.
Jeff worked for a Canadian telecommunications company for several years, garnering a considerable amount of accolades before retiring to write poetry and chase enlightenment. He wrote under the stage name Fooljeff and performed at Edmonton slams, creating a music album under the same name.
It is such an exquisite gift to be in your presence and to share with you! Please don't touch the spears. Jeff is a contemplation junkie. He grew up in a Christian organization (cult), and at 5 years old, he learned that Solomon prayed for wisdom, so he began praying for wisdom. A mystic once pointed to Jeff and said, "Look at this guy, he is the laziest guy. He will be a spiritual teacher, and his students will have to fly to his city and visit him in his house".
Beautiful one, I am pinned, as we all are; it is our nature! Jeff had tasted profound intimacy in small moments of his adult life, but the experiences slipped through his fingers, and he was unable to conjure them consistently. Discovering Relatefulness was like unearthing a practice Jeff had always been looking for. Broadening our capacity for intimacy with ourselves and others, the practice provides a container to make explicit: We are going to be together now.

Do you have any hobbies or interests that youā€™d like to include?
I make apple pies from the Crab Apple trees in our yard.
What are your areas of expertise/research interests within the self-development/awareness context?
During COVID, I did Michael Taft meditations every day. I've been doing Byron Katie's work. I find listening to her podcast provides the vibe of how you should actually approach the material.
Do you have any pets?
I have a palindrome of pets. A dachshund named NEMO and a black cat named OMEN.
Do you have a favorite movie you would like to share?
I enjoy watching 'Tenet' because it feels like moving purely by intuition. I also like how 'The Green Knight' captures the confusion of being flung into adulthood without meaningful mentorship.
Do you have a favorite book that you would like to share?
East of Eden. The way Steinbeck writes, you can tell he loves his characters and their flaws.
