Archetypes that Ruin Your Life - In Person and Online

Fri, Nov 13, 12:00 AM

From Letting Go Workshops

4.5

**Join online on Zoom:** [https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82616334704?pwd=WCjr68LvZmUjPBoLkqlLRiqBFcvCDo.1](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82616334704?pwd=WCjr68LvZmUjPBoLkqlLRiqBFcvCDo.1) **In person:** 1030 6th Avenue. 5th Floor **(walk up!)** **$15 suggested price** **Archetypes That Ruin You** Most people don't just struggle because of their circumstances. They struggle because, somewhere along the way, they unconsciously stepped into a role. A role that keeps them stuck. A role that explains why they can't change. Why help won't work. Why they're different. Why they're too damaged. Why they always collapse. Why life never seems to move forward. This talk is about the hidden identities that quietly shape our lives, especially the ones built around pain, failure, shame, helplessness, and being "too far gone." We'll look at how people become attached to certain inner stories, how those stories can feel like truth, and how they can secretly block healing, discipline, love, success, and spiritual growth. This is not about blaming yourself. It is about seeing the pattern clearly enough that you can finally stop living inside it. After the talk, we'll do a guided letting go session focused on releasing the emotions underneath these identities: shame, fear, self-pity, resentment, despair, pride, and the strange comfort of staying stuck. Come if you feel like something in you keeps repeating the same patterns, even when you know better. Come if you're tired of being trapped in the same story. Come if part of you is ready to let go. **About the Instructor** Dillon Freed is a psychology and neuroscience professor, speaker, writer, and founder of the Letting Go Center in New York City. His work explores the connection between emotion, consciousness, spirituality, the brain, and personal transformation. He teaches courses on mind, brain, behavior, neuroscience, and consciousness, while also developing a practical method of emotional release called Letting Go. Dillon's approach is direct, psychological, and spiritual. He focuses on the hidden emotional patterns that keep people stuck, especially shame, fear, resentment, self-pity, pride, despair, and the identities people unconsciously build around pain. At the Letting Go Center, his goal is simple: to help people stop carrying what they no longer need to carry. These sessions are not about fake positivity or pretending everything is fine. They are about feeling what is actually there, seeing the pattern clearly, and letting it go.

Love Is Blind Speed Dating Event - As Seen On Netflix!

Fri, Nov 13, 11:30 PM

3.9

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567) NYC Speed Dating - Singles 20s & 30s --- LADIES TICKET COMES WITH A FREE DRINK! Come experience this new & unique twist on speed dating! You've heard of the TV show "Love Is Blind" and now you'll get a chance to experience it in person! Here is how it will works: Ladies will first have female friend connect time, playing complimentary pool and/or ping pong (or just hanging out and chatting) while sipping complimentary cocktails in a private area separated from the gentleman. Gentleman will have new friends connect time in a private area as well! Speed dating will then begin! The men will be blind folded the entire speed dating, while the ladies will rotate for each round. For ladies and men, there will be special optional questions to ask to heighten the experience but it is not mandatory! We carefully set up the process so that neither the men nor women will be able to see each other will have to make selections based on personality! ***"I wasn’t sure what to expect, but not seeing the person first really helped me focus on what matters—our connection. It was refreshing!"*** ***— Alex R., Event Attendee*** THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES. *WHY IT WORKS:* ***\*\* 82%*** *of participants in a study on blind dating said they felt more "genuine" and "authentic" when they couldn't judge their partner's appearance (Source: Psychology Today).* *\*\* Studies have shown that people who initially meet without seeing each other are **more likely to find deeper emotional connections** and establish **long-lasting relationships** (Source: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships).* *\*\* A report from The University of California, Berkeley, found that **satisfaction in relationships tends to be more stable when based on personality compatibility** rather than initlal appearance.* After the speed dating, the genders will be separated once more while the matches are selected and then handed in! There will be a complimentary after party in which everyone can mix and mingle over complimentary pool, ping pong, giant jenga and other cool games, For every drink purchased, your next will be half off the entire evening! Your matches will be emailed to you the morning with the option to leave your contact number in addition to email. ***\*\* YOU CAN SEE MORE NYC SPEED DATING EVENTS AT: [http://www.FriendzyEvents.com](http://www.FriendzyEvents.com) \*\**** *QUICK NOTE: You won't be able to sign up at the event. You have to get tickets here in advance. Price goes up as event time approaches and this event usually sells out very quickly so get your tickets ASAP.* At this event you will be going on a series of 10 to 15 mini dates with each date lasting about 5 minutes each. Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman. You will get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address the next day so you can set up a future date! Within less than 12 hours of the event, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match. Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again. FAQ: CAN I COME ALONE? Yes, about 85% come on their own. WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
