“Once women remember the origins of their rage, they feel they may never stop grinding their teeth. Ironically, we also feel very anxious to disperse our rage, for it feels distressing and noxious. We wish to hurry up and do away with it.
But repressing it will not work. It’s like trying to put fire into a burlap bag. Neither is it good to scald ourselves or someone else with it. So there we are holding this powerful emotion that we feel came upon us unbidden. It is a little toxic waste; there it is, no one wants it, but there are a few disposal areas for it. One has to travel far in order to find a burial ground.”

Let’s dive into soulful inquiry, story study, and ceremony as we learn “the boundaries of rage and forgiveness.”
