"It is our birthright as women to honour our bodies, our wombs, our cycles as we are inherently linked with the earth and the moon, bringing us back to wholeness with each breath" Firetree
Rage and Anger are greatly misunderstood and it is often discouraged from being expressed. The fiery nature and all-consuming effect on our psyche often means that we refrain from meeting it fully in our lives. In our society and in our upbringing it is discouraged to express and it is so consuming that we learn to fear or suppress it. When we are triggered it can come out in weird ways through resentment, passive aggression, angry “outbursts” or even a fury of rage. It builds pressure in our bodies through years of suppression which can manifest itself by becoming a destructive force in our lives, relationships and mental, physical or emotional health.
“Grief is subversive, undermining the quiet agreement to behave and be in control of our emotions. It is an act of protest that declares our refusal to live numb and small. There is something feral about grief, something essentially outside the ordained and sanctioned behaviours of our culture. Because of that, grief is necessary to the vitality of the soul. Contrary to our fears, grief is suffused with life-force.... It is not a state of deadness or emotional flatness. Grief is alive, wild, untamed and cannot be domesticated. It resists the demands to remain passive and still. We move in jangled, unsettled, and riotous ways when grief takes hold of us. It is truly an emotion that rises from the soul.”
― Francis Weller
When we honour our Anger, Rage and Grief and allow it to be expressed in a safe and healthy way, this allows us to tap into the great wisdom and power that is underneath it. This can be vital for Womens health and wellbeing as it can help to relieve depression and anxiety as well as a number of physical conditions including migraines, fatigue, liver conditions, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, pre-menstrual and menopausal symptoms and more.
Through the sacred ceremonial space and connection of women in circle, we can tap in deeply into our internal mystery and connection with our bodies, ancestors and Mother Earth. Many of us carry the wounding and unprocessed anger or rage from our own lives, ancestral lineage, the collective feminine as well as Mother Earth. While screaming, punching or crying into a pillow can be healthy, it merely releases the steam out of the pressure cooker rather than getting to the bottom of it. We will use the tools of breath, sound, drumming and movement to connect to our primal nature, our feminine essence and with the root of our Rage and Grief, allowing it to move through us.
This experiential workshop will begin with a gentle morning of preparation & inquiry, followed by a ceremony in the afternoon. This is a very powerful container for you to meet with and step fully into your truth, your own power and develop a healthy relationship with your emotions. You can feel empowered to develop healthy boundaries, finding the discernment between your true “Yes” and “No” with yourself and with others. The benefits of releasing what has been carried for so long can bring great relief, feeling much lighter and able to embrace life more fully, with more joy and appreciation.
Preparation:
- Please bring a vegetarian/vegan food to share
- Please wear loose, comfortable clothing,
- Bring a bottle of water
- Bring yoga mat, meditation cushion & blanket
- Please refrain from eating 45mins before the session
