Tending to Our Rage.

Our rage has been systemically judged, shamed and suppressed perhaps more than any other human emotion!

From “women should know their place” and “you look prettier when you smile” narratives, to the anger management era (which served only to suppress our anger) to the pathology of hysteria, madness, high anxiety and in ways beyond what we can imagine. Rage has been seen as the least favourable of our feelings.

And so, as we do, women have internalised our hate of rage and wrapped our sense of self up in how well we can numb our rage, hide our rage and not identify with our rage.

But rage has a purpose and a need and is longing for some tenderness from us.

If rage was a child in the school playground, it would be the child that no one wants to play with, the one judged and shunned and told to do better. And so it is, with our emotions, which will play in playground of our bodies for our entire lives, regardless of whether we want them to or not.

Rage deserves some tending to, so that we can co-exist with our rage without being triggered by her and so that we can learn from what she has to share.

Join Alli and Siobhán for our one day workshop Tending to Our Rage’ where we will invite rage to sit beside us in circle, we will learn from her through guided drum journeying, we will sing to her to honour her presence and we will soothe our nervous systems through voicework, letter writing and ritual.

**Please note this is a trauma informed and neuro affirming workshop and will not include rage dumping, cathartic invocations of rage or anything heavy! This workshop will invite us to tend to the edges of our rage so that we can begin to feel safer with her presence.
