The Heart of Addiction

Are you caught in an addiction relapse cycle, and feel ready to heal the root issues that fuel your addiction?

Join us for The Heart of Addiction Daylong Immersion. Led by meditation teacher George Haas, this daylong brings together attachment repair, G. Allan Marlatt’s work on relapse prevention, and Buddhist meditation to address addiction at its root and support long-term recovery.

You’ll learn practical tools and a meditation approach for easing craving, stabilizing emotions like anger, shame and depression, and building collaborative relationships so that connection feels safer than isolation.

This program is for adults in recovery or struggling with addiction (including those in 12-step or other programs) who are abstinent or pursuing harm reduction, and who are ready to move beyond “just staying sober” into healing the attachment patterns that drive relapse and chronic disconnection.

George Haas is a meditation teacher and the founding teacher of Mettagroup, an organization he launched in 2003 to bring together Vipassana (Insight) meditation and attachment‑theory‑based healing. He began teaching meditation in 2000, and has since led daily meditations, retreats, intensives, and private mentorship across the world. George is also the host of the popular I Love You Keep Going podcast, where he explores how Buddhism and attachment repair intersect in everyday life. Mettagroup has helped thousands of people with achieving long term attachment healing and embracing a meaningful, authentic life, powered by their unique combination of meditation, psychological interventions, and attachment repair techniques.

In addition to his teaching, he is an accomplished artist whose work is held in permanent collections at MoMA, the Library of Congress, the Hammer Museum, and the American Irish Historical Society.
