Harness Rage Energy for Personal Transformation & Social Change

Tending the Fire

Making Inner Peace Possible
Karen Hatch and Wai-Chin Matsuoka

Online, ONLINE

2nd & 4th Wednesdays of Sep, Oct, Nov & Dec 7th, 2022; 3:30-6pm PT/ 5:30-8pm CT/ 6:30-9pm ET

Rage and anger are powerful energies that we've  been socialized to tamp down in many of our cultural contexts.  We may compensate with adaptations that don't serve us in the healthiest most life giving ways.  Join Wai-Chin and Karen as we dive into our Body Wisdom and InterPlay tools to play with and examine our anger and rage.  This course is based on Ruth KIng's wisdom shared in her book, "Healing Rage: (Women) Making Inner Peace Possible."


Few recognize the enormous power of rage as a vehicle for healing, or possess the skillful means to transform rage from a destructive to a life-affirming resource. Rage is fuel, the source of our empowerment. When we embrace this brilliance respectfully, rage teaches us how to live, love and heal.


Financial support for this project has been provided by the Racial Equity and Transformation (RET) Mini Grant through InterPlay.
