  • Rage Club is an evening to make friends with your anger

    The feeling of anger is a natural human response to life happening, and feeling and accepting our real emotions is vital part of healthy human life. With very few public spaces to express rage safely, we bottle it up - and it creeps out in unhelpful ways - outwards as aggression or inwards against ourselves. This is bad news for society and bad news for us as individuals.

    In this context RAGE CLUB is a game we can play together. It's a taboo-breaking, non-violent, non-therapeutic, non-judgemental space to explore rage - to express our anger and witness the anger of others. Come with your rage - you will leave feeling unashamed, energised, powerful and connected.

     

    What people are saying...

    "I’m surprised to find I’m feeling angry but having fun. It’s the strangest thing I’ve done for a while...Everyone has something positive to say. For some it’s the first time they have felt safe to express anger; others say it has shifted feelings of resentment."

    "Holding emotions in and bottling everything up is rarely a good idea - we know this. But letting all our anger out at anyone who crosses our path clearly isn't healthy either. Rage club is just a space to have a play with anger and to see what we learn" 

    "The session completely reframed my very one-dimensional relationship with rage. We agreed that addressing our rage head-on without shame was both cathartic and empowering"

  • The format flows to support the building of trust together and the encouragement to express however much you feel OK with. There is no physical contact but you will be making noise and moving. Everything an invitation to being curious about your anger but always with your own boundaries and ok to sit out at any point.

    The foundation is the FIVE REALITIES OF RAGE:
    1. Rage is normal
    2. Rage isn’t rational
    3. Rage comes out (one way or another)
    4. Rage is power
    5. Rage isn't in charge

    Then we play with different practices to embody, enjoy and express rage. The mix is always a little different but you can expect sharing, drawing, moving, stamping, breathing, dancing.

    SELF-CARE LABEL: Rage Club is a game not therapy. The space will be supportive but our advice is to only come if you feel well equipped to deal with some strong feelings.
