Hi everyone, from August 28th-30th I'll be offering an online weekend retreat focusing entirely on the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol.

Over three days we'll work on establishing the basis of the IPF protocol then spend time on each of the five conditions that make up secure attachment: safety, attunement, emotional regulation, delight, and support for growth. There will be nine hours of live teaching, guided practices, discussion, and questions, with time between sessions to practice on your own.

Everyone will have a 15-minute individual check in with me and I'll provide guided meditations to support independent practice. If you can't make a part or want to watch again, recordings of everything will be available for a year afterward.

People at all stages of practice are welcome. You don't need any prior experience with IPF, meditation, or attachment theory. If you have an established IPF practice, this retreat is an opportunity to spend dedicated time going deeper.

If you'd like a discount please send me a DM. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Evan Leed was inspired to help others after making his own journey from disorganized to secure attachment. He was authorized to teach on meditation and attachment by George Haas, founder of Mettagroup, with whom he has maintained an active mentoring relationship for eight years. He trained in the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol and Three Pillars model of attachment repair for two years under the methodology's co-creator, the late Dr. Daniel P. Brown. His work centers around helping his clients come into greater security, resolve attachment wounds and traumas, and experience a deeper sense of meaning in individual pursuits and relationships. He has maintained a daily meditation practice for over eighteen years and has spent over nine months on intensive retreat, in various Theravada and Vajrayana traditions.

This course is offered in a meditation-based modality. It is not intended to be psychotherapy or a replacement for psychotherapy.

Hey everyone, starting this Saturday I’ll be offering an eight-class workshop on the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, secure attachment, and secure relating.

This course will focus on how we become more secure in ourselves and in all kinds of relationships and connections: romantic relationships, friendships, family, community, creative and professional collaborations, and the broader web of connection that supports a meaningful life.

We’ll begin with education around attachment and the difference between secure attachment and insecure attachment strategies like dismissing, preoccupied, and disorganized attachment. From there, we’ll look at developing a more positive and stable sense of self, understanding what makes a relationship secure, entering relationships with more clarity and discernment, expressing needs, communicating collaboratively, resolving conflict, setting limits, making and deepening friendships, grieving, forgiving, letting go, and using relationships to support a fuller life.

Each week will feature guided meditations, prompts for reflection, and plenty of time for questions and discussion.

People in all relational situations are welcome: single, dating, partnered, married, separated, or simply wanting to relate more securely with friends, family, community, students, clients, collaborators, or themselves. No prior experience with attachment theory or meditation is necessary.

Evan Leed came to this work through his own journey from disorganized to secure attachment, after years of finding himself stuck in patterns he couldn’t think his way out of. After nearly 125 sessions of the Ideal Parent Figure protocol with a facilitator, his Adult Attachment Interview showed his attachment strategy had moved from highly disorganized to secure, which is what made him want to bring this work to others. For the past six years, he has worked one-on-one with over 150 clients and has taught hundreds more in group settings. He trained in the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol directly under the late Dr. Daniel P. Brown, studying with him for nearly two years in his IPF Masterclass, and is the first person officially certified by Mettagroup as a facilitator under the direct mentorship of founder George Haas. His work centers around helping people come into greater security, resolve attachment wounds, and experience more ease, meaning, and aliveness in themselves and their relationships.
