**Letting Go Workshop**

Most people don’t have a stress problem.
They have a **holding on** problem.

Old emotions build up inside us: fear, anger, guilt, shame, grief, humiliation, anxiety, resentment, and the weight of things we never fully faced.

Most of us try to handle emotions in three ways:

* **Blocking Out**: pretending we’re fine, distracting ourselves, reframing too quickly, staying “positive.”
* **Acting Out**: venting, yelling, crying, spiraling, fighting, dumping the emotion onto someone else.
* **Dipping Out**: escaping into work, food, alcohol, entertainment, busyness, isolation, or distraction.

These can sometimes help a little. But they usually only release a bit of pressure. The deeper emotion is still there.
In this workshop, I’ll teach my personal Letting Go method.

The core idea is simple:
You stop running from the emotion.
You stop turning it into a story.
You stop trying to fix it with thoughts.
You let the emotion come up fully, feel it directly, and witness it calmly until the charge begins to burn itself out.

Emotions often come in **layers**.
They often **loop**.

A small feeling may lead into something deeper. Anger may reveal shame. Shame may reveal fear. Fear may reveal grief. The goal is not to analyze every story. The goal is to release the emotional charge underneath it.

You’ll learn how to:
Release negative emotions instead of suppressing them
Recognize when you are Blocking Out, Acting Out, or Dipping Out
Feel emotion intensely while staying calm and aware
Let emotional layers and loops run without getting swallowed by them
Separate the story from the feeling underneath
Reduce emotional weight over time
Use the method in daily life, with both small and big emotions
This is not fake positivity.
This is not “just breathe.”
This is not pretending everything is fine.
This is not a one-time cure.
It is a practical method for draining negative emotional charge over time, so you can feel lighter, clearer, calmer, and less controlled by old emotions.

Hope to see you there.

The Development of Wisdom - Love and Discernment 

Letting Go Center

**Making Sense of Evil and the Meaning of Life** is a deep spiritual talk on God, suffering, karma, reincarnation, Christ, enlightenment, and why we exist.
If God is good, why does evil exist? Why do people suffer? Why is there death, betrayal, cruelty, disease, and loss? And how can life still be meaningful in the face of all this?

In this talk, Dillon Freed presents a metaphysical framework for understanding evil and meaning. We’ll explore evil as a lack of God, free will as the source of suffering, karma as soul education, reincarnation as spiritual evolution, Christ as grace, and fear as illusion.
This is not shallow positivity. It is a serious attempt to answer one of the deepest questions human beings face:
**Why are we here, and why does suffering exist?**

Answer to the Problem of Evil

## Event Description

**The Dark Side: Shadow, Myth, and the Hidden Forces That Shape Us**
What if the parts of ourselves we repress, deny, or fear are not simply “bad,” but powerful forces trying to protect us, control us, or find expression?
In this talk, Dillon Freed explores what he calls **the Dark Side**, the hidden layer of the psyche connected to fear, aggression, shame, envy, power, pleasure, safety, repression, myth, and the unconscious. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, Jungian shadow work, Freud, mythology, literature, dreams, and modern culture, this talk examines how the Dark Side appears in personal relationships, bad moods, moral outrage, projection, violence, addiction, political extremism, and collective madness.
Rather than pretending darkness does not exist, this talk argues that we must learn to see it clearly. Like the gargoyles on old cathedrals, the Dark Side must be brought into view so it can be understood, contained, and integrated. The goal is not to indulge destructive impulses, but to recognize them before they unconsciously run our lives.
The talk will also introduce practical methods for exploring the Dark Side, including tracking negative emotions, automatic writing, dream work, symbolic vision work, and learning how to give thanks for the protective role the unconscious has played.
This is not pop psychology. It is a deep, intense, and fascinating exploration of the shadow beneath the surface of the mind, and how confronting it can lead to greater self-knowledge, emotional freedom, discernment, and wisdom.
