Transforming Heartache — Opening to Healthy Love Breakups, divorce, ghosting, betrayal, and unrequited love cut deeply. They don’t just hurt emotionally — they shake your foundation, your sense of self, and your ability to trust and love again. Most people try to distract themselves, numb the pain, or “get over it.” But heartbreak isn’t something you simply get over. It’s something you move through. Digest. Transform. Heartbreak brings old wounds to the surface — abandonment, invisibility, unworthiness, longing, attachment trauma. It exposes the emotional residue many of us have been carrying for years, sometimes decades. When these wounds aren’t processed, people often find themselves: • stuck in obsessive thinking about someone they can’t let go of • cycling through the same painful relationship patterns • drawn to unavailable or inconsistent partners • feeling anxious, destabilized, or emotionally overwhelmed • struggling with loneliness, shame, or self-doubt • confusing intensity with intimacy • feeling disconnected from themselves and their bodies This Meetup is a space for people who want something deeper than surface-level advice. Here, you’ll learn how to work with heartbreak at the levels where it actually lives — in the body, the nervous system, and the emotional core. Through guided practices and practical insights drawn from decades of experience in meditation, somatic healing, and attachment work, you will learn how to: • calm emotional overwhelm • metabolize grief and emotional pain • dissolve fixation and looping thoughts • reconnect with your body and inner stability • unwind unhealthy relational patterns • rebuild your emotional foundation from the inside out As you heal, something important happens. You become more grounded. More clear. More emotionally steady. And from that place, you naturally become more receptive to healthy, reciprocal love — the kind rooted in presence, mutual care, and real compatibility. This group is for those who are ready to do meaningful inner work. Not quick fixes. Not denial. Not endless venting without direction. If your heart is hurting, you are welcome here. If you’re ready to transform your pain into growth, you are welcome here. If you want to stop repeating the same patterns and build a healthier emotional foundation, you are welcome here. Your heartbreak is not the end of love. It can be the beginning of a deeper transformation.

Please meet at the entrance of 72nd Street and 5th Ave in Central Park. Please dress for a moderately paced walk.
