This subgroup is for anyone coping with and/or healing from interpersonal heartbreak.
It is designed to be a safe, non-judgemental, and inclusive space for sharing and finding support with other practitioners.
It is also an opportunity to practice listening deeply, holding our own and each other’s experiences with presence and compassion.
[A living document of our shared values and group agreements can be found here.]
Heartbreak can mean different things for different people, and show up in a variety of ways. All who might benefit from support are welcome.
Though the group is not currently active, you might benefit from a list of potentially useful resources compiled below.
You're also welcome contact Jeremy (jeremyfrias@gmail.com) if have any questions, want to be added to the email list for possible future updates and reminders, or would like to join our private slack channel.
Please let us know if there are any more resources you've found useful and would like to add to this list!

There are currently no active meetings scheduled.
Meeting times may be offered according to hosts' preferences and availability; they’ll all be posted on our 35&U Virtual Sits Calendar.
We normally begin with a brief check in, followed by a reading, meditation, and/or guided practice to help settle us into the space and facilitate sharing.
Sharing and listening will make up the bulk of our time together.
Please take a look at our shared values document here.
A zoom link will be sent out along with a reminder email ahead of each meeting. Please let Jeremy (jeremyfrias@gmail.com) know if you'd like to be added to the email list or join our private slack channel.
Have you attended a few meetings and think you might like to host? If so, sign up here!
Below are some guides and ideas you may find helpful.
You might consider reaching out to a previous host and see if they have ideas or additional support to offer.

Note: You don’t need to have all (or any of) the answers or be perfectly at peace with your own experience of heartbreak to be a host. A willingness to care is often more than enough.
In some cases, you might decide to host simply as an opportunity to receive care. Letting people know that you'd like to host in order to seek support for yourself can be a good way to invite the compassion of others in a difficult time.
What's working well? What could be better?
