RAGEher: immersive movement experience for women to express anger

Hi. Are you angry?

How could you not be

As a woman in this world

Tying yourself in knots trying to please others

Expected to do so much, only to never feel that you’re enough

Dealing with systems that aren’t designed for you

And then to make it all worse,

You’re told that your anger is unwelcome, unacceptable, unladylike

It’s enough to make a girl implode…

So let’s let it out together

Let’s take our in-rage and turn it into out-rage.

Talk it out. Punch it out. Primal scream it out. DANCE it out…

So we can use it—and the relief and power we feel in accessing and expressing it—as fuel for all the things we want to breathe into existence in our lives

RAGEher: A Girls Night Out, Reimagined

This is exactly and nothing like the girls night outs at the club you’ve experienced:

• We’ll start with mocktails, connection, and reflection at the Tempest Tavern
• Then we’ll hit the Fury Floor, where you’ll be guided through a multi-sensory experience to access and release anger and embody your power in community with other women
• We’ll end the evening with sharing and snacks in a group decompresh sesh we call the Livid Lounge

Our Rage Doulas, dressed in twinkle lights, will be with you throughout the experience to support you through any questions, thoughts, or feelings you may be having.

It’s time for women to turn our in-rage to out-rage. To use our wrath towards purpose. To change this motherlovin' world.

RAGEher’s Club Rules:

• Women only, 18 and up. We welcome you on this journey if you’re cis, trans, or fluid and currently embodying your woman self.

• Your journey is your own, and you own your journey, but you do not journey alone. In other words, you are responsible for how deep you go and what you get out of this experience.
  
• Please be open and curious about stepping into discomfort.

• And please take care of yourself first and foremost, knowing that your fellow Ragelings and the Rage Doulas are here to witness and support you.

• Honor other participants’ boundaries, space, and stories. I will do this both during and after RAGEher.

• Share from your own experiences only; no advice or coaching.

• Absolutely NO physical harm to yourself or others.
  
• Come sober. No mind-altering substances of any kind, including alcohol, drugs, etc.

• Many of us have experiences with trauma, and anger can be triggering. If you’re seeing a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or other mental health professional, please consult with them before attending.

• If at any time during this experience your anger turns inwards, we invite you to stop.

What past Ragelings have said about RAGEher:

"I felt so much lighter aftewards. My head went from spinning to having total clarity and I got so much more done that week."

“It was such a great release to be able to yell, hit stuff, and say things I had been keeping to myself!”

“What I got out of the experience is the feeling of the freedom and permission to tap into my anger and rage and to express it openly in a supportive way. I was able to do that along with others who were also with their own anger and rage, which made it both an individual and collective experience. I was able to tap into some buried anger and allowed to really feel it without being judged or told by others not to exhibit such behavior. It was a freeing experience, letting things out.”

“Rage and anger are real emotions like joy, love and fear. But from an early age we are thought to suppress them. Being in a safe environment where those emotions can come out made feel more complete.”

At RAGEher, we believe:
Our feelings are a gift. This includes ANGER!

• Feelings give us data about ourselves, but we often ignore that data because we’ve been taught to.
• When we feel angry about something, we are noticing an area where we yearn to make change, shift patterns and dynamics, and get satisfied.
• The full-body expression of anger as catharsis and release is a practice we can cultivate.
• It can be really uncomfortable to express our anger at first, BUT
• Our anger is inspiration and fuel when we let it course through our bodies in a safe, mindful process, by which reactive anger (which we tend to swallow…or express in ways that don’t serve us) becomes assertive anger that we can use.
• We can change the world with our rage.

About the organizers

We are two women who have been on a multi-year journey of self-discovery, social and emotional intelligence development, and embodiment. This event was created through our own experiences getting in touch with our anger and the benefits we have experienced.

We both have master's degrees in Transformational Leadership and Coaching, a two and a quarter year program where we not only studied psychology, human potential, neuroscience, and the research behind emotional intelligence, but also applied what we were learning to transform our own lives. We are both practicing coaches and facilitators who work with people to emerge into the next versions of themselves.

Our Rage Doulas who support creating a safe environment for attendees are also graduates of this program or other master's programs in social work, dance therapy, or have been practicing coaches for many years.

RAGEher was built from a foundation of psychology, neoroscience, and emotional intelligence.
