r-a-g-e workshops for women
Refocusing Anger for Growth & Empowerment

Anger is an energy – our vital life force. If this energy is wasted on suppressing our anger, or in dealing with the fallout following a failed attempt to express ourselves and be heard, we feel drained.

Through understanding and making friends with our anger, this energy is then released to be channelled into constructively moving forward, we feel more alive and motivated to reach our true potential.

That’s the theory so how do we get there?

These are interactive, experiential workshops that focus on getting in touch with our anger and learning skills in both anger release and effective communication. The weekend includes:

• Establishing a safe supportive space within which we can all work in and with confidence.
  
  
• Exploring our identity as women and all the influences that have shaped us.
  
  
• Connecting with our innate inner resources of strength, vitality and creativity.
  
  
• Tuning into our experiences of feeling angry and discovering ways to contain and work through our emotions.
  
  
• Learning to become more sensitive to our variable energy states through bodywork and movement
  
  
• By-passing our inner critic and tapping into our intuitive wisdom through creative imagination.
  
  
• Guided Visualisation exercises to explore our potential.
  
  
• Learning skills in effective communication and practicing them together
  
  
• Giving and receiving feedback
  
  
• Active conflict resolution if and when it arises in the group.
  

The most important ingredient is the safe, supportive, containing space that we will build together in which we can begin to trust each other, give ourselves permission to take risks and discover deeper layers of ourselves together.

There are a maximum of 8 participants to allow time for everyone to receive some individual attention.

This can be a challenging workshop as each of us takes an honest look at our way of being in the world and we dive more deeply into our process of self discovery together and take a leap into the unknown.

Whether you feel that the way you express your anger is too much, not enough or you are just curious to learn more and discover all the treasures hidden within your anger you will be most welcome.

The key to empowerment is accepting and valuing ourselves and others just as we are so that setbacks are not seen as a sign of inadequacy but opportunities to develop and grow.

This weekend is all about tapping into our inner resources, identifying our unique qualities and celebrating the strengths we already possess. We will explore together the many factors which influence our sense of our power in the world and share our individual experiences as women

We will learn how to gain control over negative thoughts such as comparing ourselves with others and self criticism and explore alternative ways of perceiving and interpreting our world which in turn can increase our confidence, resilience and optimism when facing challenges.

Communication is a skill that can be learned like any other and we will look at all the obstacles we encounter when attempting to express ourselves as we would like. We will practice our communication skills together using real life conflicts, giving and receiving feedback and experimenting with using clear and direct language that does not harm others.

The evening sessions are somewhere to come to for support, to reconnect with others, to continue working on the things that are important to you and remind yourself of the progress you are making with the skills you are putting into practice in your life. This group is open to everyone who has attended a r-a-g-e workshop or individual session and you can come along as often as you like.
