Jeff Oliver

Jeff Oliver is an international mindfulness and Vipassana meditation teacher, speaker, author, and founder of Freestyle Vipassana. Originally from Australia, he has devoted more than 30 years to the study and practice of meditation, including 9 years as a Buddhist monk in the Theravada tradition in Myanmar.
From 1993 to 2002, Jeff lived the monastic life, immersing himself in the teachings of the Buddha and the practice of Vipassana meditation under the guidance of respected teachers. This profound experience became the foundation of his work as a lay teacher, dedicated to helping people discover inner freedom, clarity, and lasting peace.

Today, Jeff travels internationally, offering retreats, talks, and Dharma teachings around the world. His teachings emphasize mindfulness, wisdom, forgiveness, compassion, unconditional love, and an understanding of karma. Known for his warm, down-to-earth, and practical approach, Jeff encourages students to integrate these timeless principles into everyday life.

Jeff is the author of three books:
Forgiveness for Everyone
Metta Bhavana
Loving-Kindness Meditation
as well as numerous Dharma talks and educational videos.

Guided by his simple motto, “Live and Learn, Laugh and Love,” Jeff inspires people to walk the spiritual path with openness, kindness, wisdom, and joy.
