This Podcast is a Ritual

Meditation teacher George Haas, founder of the Metta Group and host of the I Love You, Keep Going podcast, joins the ritual for a deep dive into the unconscious conditioning known as "attachment styles" that affect how we not only form relationships, but perceive reality itself. George's work explores how Buddhist meditation techniques can help release these shackles to create a greater sense of freedom, security, and meaning in one's life.
