Sacred Rage: Winter Edition

Something to ponder: Tired of being quiet and polite? Ready to unlock the places that have been shut down and frozen? Our rage is just as divine as our pleasure and joy. Our expression of it is deeply needed medicine. When anger is trapped in our body it is more likely to come out in explosive and negative ways. What if we give it space to move?

What to expect: In this 3.5 hour ritual, we invite you to step fully into your body, into your emotions, and into your power! Your voice, tears, sweat, and anger are welcome here. All the soul parts that have been hidden, squashed, silenced and disembodied are being called back to you in this container. We’ll hold space for your Sacred Rage and allow it to be moved and transformed into action. Prepare to give physicality to your Rage through somatic movement, dance, vocal work, and breathwork; allowing you to come through to the other side of Rage as a stronger version of YOU. All bodies, all genders, 18+ are welcome. Limited to 10 attendees total.

This event will be offered seasonally in October, January, April, and July. Each ritual will be flavored with the current season that we're in; expressing and collaborating with the cyclical themes and dynamics that nature provides us.

What to bring:

1. Journal
2. Water bottle
3. A large mixing bowl (any material)
4. A shawl or scarf large enough to cover your head
5. Anything extra that your body needs to be comfortable on the floor. (the studio provides yoga mats, blankets, & blocks)
6. Any items that feel important to be added to our altar (items will be returned unless they’re intended as an offering)

What to wear: Comfortable clothing that allows full body range of motion. Layers are helpful as your temperature will fluctuate. The studio is a shoe free zone so you will need to be barefoot or wearing socks.

Who are your facilitators: Andrea Thompson and Ida Cavewoman have been close friends for over 20 years and have spent over a decade regularly practicing magic together within a Coven. Through their mutual respect and deep trust of one another, their medicine weaves in an effortless way and you’re sure to be in good hands for such BIG work.

Andrea is a native to Oregon, lover of magic, tinkering herbalist and dancer at heart. She has cultivated her practice of holding space for others through her 25 years of Massage Therapy experience in which she deeply listens to what the individual’s body is asking for and what old stories are ready to be released in that precise moment versus going with a specific protocol. Studying with Danielle Renee Battigione initiated her into her Magical practice many moons ago. Since then, she has shared and held ritual space in various magical workshops, embodiment events and at Soul Revival Ecstatic Dance for BIPOC. To hear more about her magical practice, check out Magic From the Root Podcast. To learn more about her offerings for bodywork, you can find her at www.andreatlmt.com.

Ida is an American born, Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner who practices the Scandinavian magical lineage known as Trolldom. Her medicine is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and European folk traditions. Ida is passionate about connecting others to their own unique lineage and helping others “help themselves” by teaching practical self-care techniques from her knowledge as a massage therapist of over 20 years. She’s here to hold a safe container for today's modern Homo Sapiens on their journey to wholeness and acceptance of their Wyrd, Natural Self. You can learn more about Ida’s work at www.IdaCavewoman.com and find all of her upcoming events at www.meetup.com/rekindle_the_roots.
