End the cycle of dysfunction, once and for all.
Move forward in life, no longer shackled by the past.
Do dysfunctional cycles follow you around (no matter how much help you’ve sought out, and no matter how many hours of meditation you’ve clocked on the cushion)?
Ever feel like you’re caught in one challenging relationship after another (from romantic, to family, platonic and even work)?
Or that life just feels deeply dissatisfying (like no one understands you, or can truly meet your needs)? You’ve been stuck in a disappointing reality of feeling abandoned, or being painfully self-sufficient (and you’re tired of it).
If you’re like me (George Haas) and my Mettagroup students, then you’ve tried getting help, only to find yourself stuck in the same deeply-engrained patterns.
You’ve tried the mental health route. You’ve tried the meditation route. You’ve read the books, and you’ve filled your brain with the podcasts. What gives?
You’re hoping there’s a path forward, a life filled with healthy relationships, self-clarity and acceptance, and an enduring congruence with who you’re truly meant to be. A life no longer burdened with one bad relationship after another, or the relentless people-pleasing behavior. An end to the ruptures that don’t really get repaired, or the confusion about who you are and what you’re truly meant to be doing with your time and energy.
Are you holding out for a more meaningful life?
If that’s you, then you’re in the right place.
Meditation x Attachment Level One program offers you the keys to lasting change for how you see yourself, how you see the world, and how you LIVE your life. True healing that you can feel and embody. More access to your authentic self.
What are the ingredients for lasting change? How is this any different from the other self-help or mental health approaches out there?
Get ready for the easiest mind blow on the planet.
What is Level One?
This live group program offers instruction in Buddhist theory, Attachment Theory, and in-depth meditation techniques, all designed to help you get your needs met, pursue your authentic passions, and emotionally regulate along the way. In this program, you’ll learn what it takes to develop secure relationships, uproot past attachment conditioning, as well as work through conflict resolution strategies.
This program introduces Daniel P. Brown's Ideal Parent-Figure (IPF) Attachment Protocol, and offers you space to develop empowering, reparative mental and somatic skills, while also tapping into a supportive community of people on the shared path of cultivating a meaningful life. Consider this the introduction to the map, which readies you for the Level Two 6-month program next.
What’s Included
-
Three Live Daylong Immersions with George Haas
3 Live Sessions | Replays Provided
We offer a blend of learning, practice and connection to help you engage the concepts and get on the path of healing.
In these live sessions, we’ll dive into an overview of attachment theory, examining the attachment mechanism, the exploration mechanism and the collaborative relationship systems that are necessary for secure functioning.
You’ll also receive live guided meditation to help you experientially integrate the framework, where we explore IPF (Idealized Parent-figure Protocol) as well as other techniques in real-time. You’ll get to share, connect, ask questions and integrate in a community setting, with facilitator guidance.

The Attachment Repair Basic Meditation
Healing and skill development requires consistent meditation practice (especially if you desire lasting impact).
It’s important to start at the beginning and develop the meditation skills your need, which you’ll do through our basic meditation teaching. Even if you have meditation experience in different traditions, the techniques we use are quite specific. So that’s why we start with the basics.
-
Peer-to-Peer Practice Opportunities
Collaboration skillfully is trainable.
At each live daylong immersion, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in dyads with fellow students. This is designed to help you get a sense of how your attachment strategy is functioning. Not only that, but this type of connection gives you an opportunity to practice skillful collaboration.

Where Attachment Theory and Meditation Meet
Understanding attachment theory is the easiest mind blow, and here’s why.
Once you’ve gained an understanding of the concepts and differences between attachment styles, the difficulties you have in past relationships all start to make sense.
We combine the two ingredients of attachment and meditation. With meditation, we offer specific types of practices that guide in the attachment repair process. We then pair that with a psycho-educational approach to attachment theory. This winning combination is what has helped hundreds of our students (including myself) earn secure attachment and end so many of the patterns that once held us back.
Oftentimes, my students can’t believe they’ve waited so long to make these connections.
But the good news is, it’s not too late!
When you join Level One, you’ll also receive access to the NEW Mettagroup app!
Receive free one month of access to our new Mettagroup App and AI support!
Ask the Mettagroup AI anything about attachment repair and meditation and how it applies to your life situation and experiences.
Receive George's insights and wisdom (in seconds), designed to speak directly to what you're going through at this phase of learning and healing. Anytime, anywhere.
We've never offered such personalized support and access (until now), and we can't wait for you to dive in and accelerate your learning and healing with this new resource.
You’ll also receive a Mindful Map
Learn how to read people’s responses based on attachment.
Are you confused and frustrated when you talk to your partner, family members, friends or colleagues, boggled by their responses?
Are you tired of feeling misunderstood? Is being protective or defensive starting to feel old?
This Mindful Map will teach you:
How to take people’s responses less personally and understand people better.
By understanding attachment strategies and the common communication patterns associated with each attachment style, you can participate in relationship with more compassion, openness, and equanimity. You can engage with more patience, self-awareness and influence.
How to manage your expectations, and to assess alignment EARLY on in a relationship, so that you don’t make a decision too soon or get too involved too fast. (If you typically rush into intimacy, you’ll LOVE this resource.
Rest assured: it’s not personal. It’s attachment. I’ll walk you through the guide so that you can start to apply this knowledge in your relationships across all areas of your life - both personal and professional.
Here’s what our students are reporting

Meet George Haas, Founding Teacher of Mettagroup
George Haas is the founder of Mettagroup and a meditation teacher with more than 25 years of experience integrating contemplative practice, attachment theory, and developmental psychology. Since 2000, he has taught meditation to thousands of students worldwide, developing a unique approach that combines Buddhist insight practices with modern attachment repair methods.
George is best known for pioneering the Mettagroup Method, an innovative framework that helps individuals cultivate earned secure attachment through meditation, visualization, and relational practices. Drawing from attachment theory, neuroscience, Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, and the Buddhist path of awakening, his work offers a practical and transformative approach to healing relational wounds and fostering greater emotional resilience, connection, and well-being.
He is the creator of Mettagroup's Meditation x Attachment programs and host of the podcast I Love You, Keep Going, where he explores meditation, psychology, attachment, and personal transformation. George's teachings have helped establish attachment repair as a powerful complement to traditional mindfulness practice, supporting both personal healing and professional development for therapists, coaches, counselors, and meditation teachers around the world.
Over the last 40 years, he has accumulated this knowledge about how to heal attachment injury (through both learning and experience). He earned security at the age of 65 after living most of his life complexly disorganized.
His mission is to share this blueprint in a distilled, manageable way so that people don’t need to go through years of confusion and suffering like he did.
According to Dan Brown's research it takes 40 to 150 guided IPF sessions, to go from insecure attachment to securely attached. That’s profound, swift results (we’re talking ~ 3 years). He spent most of his life (5 decades) exhaustively exploring all the wrong paths, so it’s his true honor to share what’s worked for him and hundreds of students, with long-lasting and life-enhancing effects.
“I just want to share, that it's been six years, a big journey, a big journey.
But guess what? I've earned secure. Today I found out that I've earned secure. I know a lot of you won't know what that means, but some of you might. I got my attachment assessment inventory back today and I'm secure. I'm better than I've ever been.”

This program is for you if…
We invite you to explore alignment! Below, we share some indicators that this program and our approach is designed for you.
-
There’s many interventions out there. But many of those interventions actually don’t uproot attachment conditioning (so you may access temporary relief only to find yourself caught up in the same patterns). If this is you, we invite you to try out the Mettagroup Method. Enroll in Level One to begin your journey of attachment repair.
-
Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced meditator, this program is for you. If you’re brand new to meditation, we provide you with a foundational self-paced training to support you in jumpstarting your meditation practice and learning the fundamentals, so that you can hit the ground running. That training is included in Meditation x Attachment Level One.
-
You’re not on the verge of trying to make relationships work (or you’ve already given up), because the disappointment has accumulated so much due to not knowing how to have workable relationships.
You may be a high functioning working professional who struggles with relationships at work or in your personal life.
You’re ready for a new approach, so that you can have satisfying, healthy and mutually supportive relationships.
-
A meaningful life isn’t prescriptive, but rather includes the endeavors that spark YOUR authentic curiosity and interest.
You’re interested in having a meaningful life, and want to feel free to explore things that are meaningful to you. But, it’s hard or unfamiliar (and maybe you never learned how to do it, so you don’t know where to begin). We’ll give you the roadmap to discern what your meaningful life encompasses (and how to pursue it without feeling overwhelmed or overcome by fear).
-
It’s all sort of working, but not well enough. You’re constantly anxious about pretty much everything, and holding on tight.
Life is going well, but nothing really matters. You’re succeeding, but it doesn’t mean anything to you.
You want to feel ALIVE again. Inspired. On purpose.
-
You’re constantly dissatisfied in relationships because you think that that’s where the meaning should come from.
You don’t explore anything. You put your focus on getting into the right relationship, and believe that the aliveness of life will be found in that relationship.
-
You’re afraid to do anything because you can’t make a mistake. The consequences of making a mistake are so catastrophic, which then leads you to being alone. Taking risks is just too upsetting or distressing, so it’s better to not take the chance.
