Meeting Sacred Rage: Creatively Giving Voice to What Matters

The experience of anger or even rage can be uncomfortable, but when we don’t have an outlet it can project outward as violence or inward as self-destruction, helplessness and dis-ease. Sacred rage is a natural protective and expressive impulse that arises when we become aware of an injustice and feel compelled to take action - and creative expression can be a healthy outlet for meeting sacred rage and gaining clarity on what we’re most passionate about. Join your hosts Jenny and Stephanie for a conversation and tools for working with your own sacred rage through creative expression.
