https://www.mettagroup.org/meditation-x-attachment-level-two

A 6-month meditation-based virtual group and 1.1 mentorship program designed to usher you into living a more meaningful life.

We speak upon authoritarianism, through an attachment lens, and how it emerges as a response to insecure attachment patterns, particularly those shaped by rigid, unresponsive caregiving experiences? What are the core mechanisms, based on attachment strategy (preoccupied, dismissive, disorganized)? Within the context of cultural and political ties, what is the impact of widespread insecure attachment?

How can we orient toward New Year's resolutions, so that we can show ourselves more compassion, flexibility and patience? What can we anchor into instead? How does this time of year support (or impede upon) our capacity to live a meaningful life?

If you want greater balance in your relationships, clearer awareness, and more secure ⁠
functioning overall, then keep reading. Here's what improves across your whole life when you go through the Meditation x Attachment Level Two program (which begins Feb 20th): ⁠https://www.mettagroup.org/meditation-x-attachment-level-two
⁠
👉🏼Emotional Regulation⁠
✨Better handling of intense emotions: Use thinking to regulate when feelings exceed capacity, distinguishing raw present-moment sensing from past-conditioned meanings.⁠
✨Reduced reactivity: Evaluate meaning accuracy (e.g., "snake" vs. rope), avoiding procedural autopilot (fight/flight/freeze) and habitual responses.⁠
✨Embodied emotional awareness: Turn on conscious feelings (esp. for dismissing types), restoring empathy and spontaneity without over-monitoring.⁠
⁠
👉🏼Relationships and Communication⁠
✨Mutual understanding: Transliterate experiences into others' terms (cherries/raspberries/mangoes metaphor) for collaborative exchanges; elicit how they need care.⁠
✨Predictability and reliability: Consistent responses (less chaotic flashing between patterns in disorganized attachment); others trust you more.⁠
✨Fewer conflicts/repairs: Track self-other effects, adjust in real-time, bridge gaps (e.g., preoccupied with dismissive sibling), sustain hope instead of repeated fixes.⁠
✨Secure functioning: Automatic spontaneity with monitoring; care for each other without burdening one side.⁠
⁠
Ready to heal your attachment disturbances and live with security? Your relationships, your sense of self, your career, your WHOLE life will transform. Link in bio to sign up and we’ll see you Feb 20th for our first virtual class with George Haas. ⁠

Explore how secure functioning develops through the capacity to remain present with emotional intensity (your own and others’). Learn meditative techniques for widening your window of tolerance, so vulnerability becomes a gateway to connection rather than shutdown.

Mettagroup was founded by George Haas in 2003 and named the ‘Best Online Buddhist Meditation’ by Los Angeles Magazine in 2011, Mettagroup uses Vipassana, or Insight meditation, as a way to help students live a meaningful life. Drawing from 2500-year-old Buddhist teachings and John Bowlby's Attachment Theory, the Mettagroup techniques serve as a model of how to connect with other people, and how to be completely yourself in relationships with others and with work.
