Rage as Teacher

Service Description

“The balanced valuing of emotions is certainly an act of self-respect. Even raw and messy emotions can be understood as a form of light, crackling and bursting with energy. We can use the light of rage in a positive way, in order to see into places we cannot usually see.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés Course Description This course is about the remembrance that the balanced valuing of emotions – all emotions – is an act of self-respect. Rage, anger, grief and discernment (good judgement) all have their place and should have a space to be expressed in, in our lives – for they are all great teachers from within. Yet, we rarely allow ourselves this. Why? Perhaps we feel there’s a little macro- and micro-judgement involved, perhaps we feel uncomfortable experiencing these emotions, perhaps we’re not allowed, perhaps we’re afraid where these emotions will lead us. . .these are all elements we’ll explore together. All emotion finds its way out somehow, eventually – like water, as it too finds its way and carves a path through anything, it cannot be contained (at least not for long). Whatever emotions we have (learnt) to bottle up, to confine and contain, let’s explore how they can actually be teaching us a lesson about boundaries, about what we need and what we don’t need; how by expressing such emotions we are actually being true to ourselves and therefore true to others; how we can transform them into something which can work for us, rather than against us, in all facets of life.
