anger is protective (a living room picnic)
on Monday, 04-Apr from 7:30-8:30pm EDT
Among other things, anger is protective…
Anger is also a diagnostic indicator (of what matters - even if it’s not clear yet: to you or to others, what it is that you’re so mad about).
Anger can be a path toward intimacy.
Anger can serve the greater good, and it can be wielded as a weapon of misdirection.
Whether you have a well-developed relationship with anger, or if you’re like me and you’ve been boxing it up in the corner, ducking it on the streets and in all kinds public and private rooms, I think we have lots to picnic on here… let’s talk 
There’s nothing you need to know or do beforehand to participate. Discussion prompts are sent out over the weekend (in case you like that).
Why go deep on anger?
Well, it seems that anger may be a rich source of information…what would happen if we gave it more space — proper space, intentional space, caring space — to do its thing, less fettered by the bad reputation it has for being monolithically destructive and more supported by a deeper understanding of the roles it plays in our lives?
What do you think?
Does this sound like your kind of conversation?
Here’s more or less how it’ll flow —
We open with a question of some kind to get to know each other a little, then we take time to gather our thoughts (a brief private journaling session) and move into discussion time to unhurriedly think out loud together. When I haven’t cut it to close to the edge, we close with a moment to collect ourselves and cross back over to our respective worlds. It’s personal, relaxed and non-performative. A small group of women interested in conversation and each other’s [unique] views.
