Emotional pain takes many forms: the grief of loss, overwhelming stress and anxiety, major or chronic depression, job burnout, feeling stuck or trapped, heart break, lingering guilt, regret, fear of trusting again, pent-up anger, worry about the future, and shame from the past.
In the face of difficulty, most of us do our best to cope with the situation, hold it together, and keep going, but we often end up carrying emotional pain that we don’t know how to heal or release. The toxic residue of painful experiences gets stored in our emotional heart, limiting our ability to give and receive love.
If you want to break free from the past and experience emotional freedom, we invite you to join us at the Free to Love workshop. In our safe, nurturing setting, you will be guided in the unique five-step healing process developed by Chopra Center co-founder Dr. David Simon that has helped thousands let go of their pain, find freedom from the past, and rediscover joy and fulfillment.
Free to Love is led by the Chopra Center's Medical Director, Dr. Tim Brieske, and Trista Thorp, the Certification Program Coordinator of Chopra Center University. Along with other loving members of the Chopra Center staff, they will support and guide you in freeing yourself from the burden of accumulated pain, anger, guilt, and other difficult emotions.
Free to Love is an intensive weekend workshop that allows you to reach deep levels of emotional release and healing in a short amount of time. Whether you’ve recently experienced an upsetting event or loss, or you’ve been carrying the burden of old emotional wounds for many years, Free to Love will help you find emotional freedom.

Free to Heal
“Lack of love and emotional pain manifests in many disguises. It may appear as obesity or anorexia, depression or anxiety, allergies or autoimmune disorders. Digestive problems, chronic pain, and fatigue can all reflect underlying emotional malnourishment. If you are willing to look at the story behind your illness, release the toxic emotions you’ve been carrying, and begin thinking and doing things differently, healing and transformation will occur.” ~ David Simon, M.D.
Free to Heal is a powerful mind-body healing immersion designed exclusively for those who have completed the Free to Love workshop. At Free to Love, participants are guided in an intensive emotional release process for letting of the stored pain and core beliefs that contribute to emotional distress and physical illness. Free to Heal will help you integrate and deepen the profound healing you’ve experienced at Free to Love. The Chopra Center has created Free to Heal as a deeply nurturing companion program to Free to Love, and we highly recommend that you take the two programs back-to-back.
