Join us for this course where we will do guided meditation to resolve grief using chairwork. We will work towards closure for grief and a reorientation of life.
The intended outcome is to bring about acceptance and integration so that we are more present to our lives as they are in the here and now. We will experience more internal coherence, clarity, and energy to embrace life.
This event has started but you are perfectly welcome to join mid-way. You can attend the remaining live classes and will get access to all of the recordings.
We can't guarantee placement into a practice-pod for late sign ups, but we will try our best.
There will be one live 90 minute class per week.
Guided meditation will be the main focus of the program. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions and share whatever you feel comfortable with. There will be no pressure to do so; passive participation is perfectly fine.
So it is with grief where, if all goes well, can come a strengthening of the inner world, of memory and definition. – John Bowlby
Unresolved loss is an important area assessed on the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). According to John Bowlby, the creator of Attachment Theory, grief and mourning can disrupt development and even lead to long lasting psychological maladie.
The course will include 5 classes of 90 minutes each, as well as the option to participate in a practice pod. The practice pod is a group of peer-students who meet outside of class time to meditate together, share their experiences, and encourage each other in practice. This is not a required part of the course but is included for those who are interested.
This program is suitable for beginners to meditation and healing work.
The main modality used will be Chairwork, which involves talking to our loved one or lost part of self. We will dialogue with them and seek resolution, all in the context of guided meditation.
In addition to chairwork, this course will draw on
We will also use the Buddhist compassion meditation of “tong len” to further integrate and metabolize our grief. This helps us see grief is part of our shared humanity
You will be encouraged to listen to the guided meditations with your practice pod, however there will be no further homework in this course.
There will be time for Q&A and spot coaching.
We will be doing deep work. For that reason please feel free to take a break at any point.
Participants in this course have the option to join a practice pod. This is an informal group of 3-5 students who meet, usually once a week, to listen to a guided meditation, discuss difficulties in practice, and share insights and progress. Connecting with peer learners in this way can keep you motivated, consolidate learning, and create a sense of community.

This is what participants of prior Courses have to say:
I am enjoying the Healing Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment course so much! It's blowing my mind, and that's after decades of amazing therapy, EMDR, attachment couples therapy, neurofeedback, inner child nurturing, self-compassion, and many other profound growth experiences. I’m so delighted by how much I'm getting out of the course. Feels like it's a missing piece for me that is so healing. Thank you !
I gained an ability to self soothe, meet my needs for validation and feeling seen/heard (which were often unmet in childhood), an overall feeling like I am less alone in my work of healing my attachment. I realize I benefit greatly from an 8 week course with a weekly meeting, I am able to do daily meditations on my own and feel supported in this routine with the weekly meetings. I feel I am actively and consistently working on my attachment repair by being part of a longer course (as opposed to a weekend workshop).
Loved the course and loved this kind of emotional work. Look forward to doing more that you offer. Content was excellent. Meditation around Schema modes went quite deep and uncovered difficult emotions. Doing micro hits has improved some situations that would have gone worse.
I’m sure this will seem out of the blue to you, but I was just thinking of things I am thankful for and thought of you and the two Attachment Repair courses of yours I had the pleasure to participate in. I just wanted to say a very heartfelt thank you. I want you to know I really appreciated the kindness and effort you put into that work, and into responding to all of our questions. My exposure to your teaching has been immensely helpful for me.
I’m knowing myself better which allows me to connect in a more authentic way. I am also recognizing the attachment styles better in people I interact with and hammering out what I am really seeking in a relationship. I didn’t realize how important unconditional exploration and expression was for me until this class.
Thank you for continuing to make these classes. When I am able to attend, they make a really positive contribution to my mental health :)
I want to say thank you for giving this opportunity and I recommend this course because of the huge impact it is making on my well-being. It is easier to self-regulate emotionally and I have a deeper understanding of attachment and compassion and it’s place and impact in life.
THANK YOU!! this is powerful for me, so thank you thank you for sharing your insight. I like how you really balance the “just do the work” attitude with sooo much compassion and empathy for how hard it is. Now I know how to use the immense power of my imagination to heal my most fundamental body-mind-soul mechanisms and have a more joyful, loving life.
I love your offerings. Keep them coming. You have a good capacity to make people feel seen – and also show great respect for us as individuals – in itself that is an healing factor in being in courses of yours! Your humbleness and humour – make every call a killer. Rock on. I like learning about these subjects! Feels very helpful in understanding my problems/reason to part of my suffering. I feel I have grown during the course so far – and or moving in a better direction.
If you get an error during payment, please contact us saying "My payment method for Resolving Grief and Loss isn't working" and we'll send you other options.
If you miss a session or are dissatisfied for whatever reason, simply let us know and we will issue you a full refund, no questions asked.

Not been able to make a $150 payment (which I hope is acceptable) – keeps showing the $300.

Hi Peter,
If you select the “Pay what you can” box and type $150 in, it should then refresh the Product table to show your new price of $150. If that still doesn’t work you can make a manual payment to us via the donations page: attachmentrepair.com/donations, then shoot us an email and I’ll sign you up.
Cedric will this course on grief be offered again? I must have missed it – I don’t get good reminders of course starts in my inbox from you so I don’t even know if I already signed up lol.
But, I missed two mondays already and cannot do midday weekday classes, but have a strong need and interest in grief work.
Any thoughts or insight on future offerings of this sort?
Thanks so much,
Annie
Hi Annie,
Yes we plan on offering this course again, probably in October. We do send out reminders for each course the day before, please make sure they’re not landing in your spam.
I just checked and you aren’t signed up to this current Grief course
