Secure attachment results from "good enough" care taking, which is defined as an adult caretaker who is present, safe, protective, reliable, emotionally attuned and responsive - enough of the time. If we had the good fortune of having this kind of caretaking as children we develop a sense of safety and trust in ourselves and in the world.

And what does secure attachment have to do with meditation and dharma? 

It is only when we build our capacity to connect and love, by establishing "healthy attachment" with all parts of ourselves, with others and the world, that we can let go and trust enough to realize the awakening promised by Buddhist meditation. 

It is not by ignoring our psychological patterns but by directing our curious, loving attention toward them that we find our freedom. 

In this course, through discussion, meditation practices and individual coaching, we will work together towards establishing secure attachment in order to support the deepening of our meditation practice - and greater well being in the rest of our lives and relationships. 

Participating in a group setting enhances the benefits of attachment work. Attachment healing thrives in relationships, and through this program, we will create a supportive community to foster personal insight and growth.

This program is designed for individuals with a regular meditation practice interested in exploring attachment patterns through contemplative approaches. The teachings are rooted in Dr. Dan Brown's 3 Pillar Protocol and other Buddhist techniques.

Course dates:  Wednesdays 1-2:30 EST
