While intense and complex, our anger is actually rich with data and transformative energy, rooted in our deep sense of empathy. And yet, how many of us ever learned how to honor and explore our anger in all its depth? Mindfully embraced, anger and rage can be powerful catalysts for inner and outer transformation. Left untended, they can turn inward on us, distorting our gifted expression and keeping us stuck in unhealthy patterns. Any growth work that we do as gifted/2e women ― both personally and collectively ― must create space for anger and rage to be heard, honored and held.

 

In this 3.5 hour workshop led by Kelly Pryde, we will create a compassionate container in which to give unapologetic voice to gifted women's anger & rage, exploring their truth and complexity and learning tools for embracing and going forth with them in skillful, empowering ways. The workshop draws on myth, gifted, contemplative and depth psychologies, as well as creative expression. It is designed to be both informative and interactive with a small group to allow for rich, meaningful exploration. 

​

Themes include

 

• Drawing on the Greek myth of Cassandra, we explore the roots of anger and rage in gifted women's experience, as well as their relationship to shame and grief

• Rage masks ~ understanding how they both protect and distort gifted feminine experience and expression, as well as gaining insight into your personal rage mask(s)

• Justice Sensitivity ~ what it is and how it can interact with gifted women's experience in unconscious ways 

• Compassionate Alchemy process ~ learn how to use your unique constellation of traits to tend the raw energy of anger and allow for a creative, life-forward energy to arise aligned with your deepest gifted self

*Important Notes About Readiness to Participate

​

Please note that this workshop is for women who are at a place in their gifted development where they are emotionally resourced and able to explore this topic in a generative way. It is expected that participants will be fully present with video on and actively engaged for the duration of the workshop.

 

While all of our offerings are trauma-informed, we do not address strategies for traumatic stress. If you are in the early stages of your gifted discovery journey and/or are struggling with social safety, you may need gifted-specific support before participating. Please consult with your care provider if you are unsure about your readiness to participate.

​

A basic understanding of stress responses (i.e., fight, flight, fawn, freeze) is required to participate so that we can move beyond nervous system discourse and theory into deeper explorations together.
