Darkness Alchemy: dealing with anger in a healthy way

This workshop for men will shift the way you deal with anger. It helps you to understand anger and what it’s good for. You will feel more deeply into what’s underneath your anger, whether it’s a ‘no’ to something or whether it’s an unfulfilled wish that’s grinding your gears. And lastly you will be given tools to better communicate about anger.

We come together in a circle of men. Why? Because most men were taught by society to deny parts of themselves that are feared and blamed for injustice and aggression. Women, in general, have other reasons to deny their anger. The transformative power of coming together with a group of men and witnessing each other in their full expression of emotions, power and vulnerability can be life changing.

Safety is a priority

When working with repressed emotions safety is of the utmost importance. This workshop offers a safe container to experience all that wants to be felt. A big part of this is radical honesty and self responsibility. You will be supported in this and there will be one or more experienced spaceholders present (depending on group size) for assistance.

In these 3 hours we will

- Do (group) sharings to explore what anger is
- Experience the power behind your anger in physical exercises
- Practise the basics of nonviolent communication
- Release stuck emotions
- Practise taking responsibility for what you feel
