Rage Club is a space for you to begin or continue the process of growing up in relation to the energy of anger.
In modern culture we are deeply conditioned that it is not OK to be angry because “Anger is one of the negative feelings,” and “anger is dangerous, loud, embarrassing, uncivilized”. You learn to suppress your anger, leading to exactly the unconscious manifestations of anger that you are trying to avoid!; reactivity, resentment, explosiveness, or the flip side of the coin; passivity, adaptivity and 'implosion', or both.
Believe it or not, it is not a mistake you can feel angry. Nature did not mess up that badly. Conscious rage is a resource and an archetypal force that you can plug into, in service of your life, empowering your capacity to relate and create.
Conscious anger can be used to:
Say "No!" or "Stop!".
Say “Yes!” (until you can say no authentically, your yes is a lie).
Change things, move things, stop things, start things, invent things.
Say what you want, or say what you don’t want.
Commit, keep promises.
Get rid of things.
Stay centered in tricky situations.
Communicate clearly and concisely.
To clear confusion
Build the 'gameworld' / culture that you want to live in.
Distinguish between your feelings and other people's feelings.
Distinguish between your feelings and your emotions.
Take a stand for something or for someone.
Take action.
Hold space.
Maintain integrity.
Make clear boundaries.
Decide.
Be an inexhaustible source of energy for being your destiny in action.
Be present! If you are not present, who is running your life? Possible answers: Your mother, your partner, your kids, your job, your dog, your television, your addictions, Friday evenings, your circumstances, the government, your beauty standards, your opinions and beliefs…
How can you use your anger for all this you ask? Well, first you would have to own it, instead of it owning you.
Welcome to Rage Club.
