DESCRIPTION

Anger has a bad reputation, but it’s a natural response when someone steps over a line ‒ we need it to defend ourselves and others. Clear anger burns like a flame, but so often we push it down until it explodes like a volcano, or seeps out like a poisonous gas! When unexpressed anger becomes hard and rigid it turns to hatred. On this weekend, we will find the shapes and embodiment of fierceness and anger in its many forms, letting go of old emotion, clearing the way for love. Connection comes from being real, showing ourselves and standing up for our beliefs. There is a lot of satisfaction in being met by another in the truth of the moment, even when we disagree. Forgiveness exists in the maps of Anger, but we cannot bypass the other feelings and go straight there. Opening to our common humanity, feeling collective hurts and dreams leads to the possibilities of true connection and forgiveness.
