While intense and complex, our anger is actually rich with information and transformative energy rooted in a deep sense of empathy. And yet, how many of us ever learned how to honor and listen to 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/neurocomplex 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 reconnect with the deeper intelligence of anger & rage, exploring their truth and complexity and learning tools for meeting 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 from your deepest self

*Important Notes About Readiness to Participate

​

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

 

If you are currently in a state of high emotional overwhelm, experiencing significant relational conflict, or finding that anger and rage are dominating your daily life, this may not be the right time for this workshop. We honor your journey and invite you to return when you feel more emotionally resourced and able to engage from a grounded place. 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.
