Are we allowing rage and joy, grief and celebration, to remain fiercely connected to each other?
Are we tending to each so that neither trauma nor delusion define us?
We will start by exploring how we might express our individual and collective rage without being overwhelmed and subsumed by it. Rage may at once be a true reaction to the events around us, or perhaps a debilitating manifestation of other emotions such as grief, fear, or impotence. How might we discern between these valid reactions and metabolize the helpful parts of that energy into something useful action and sustainable?
On the flip side of holding our rage is to find glimmers of joy to sustain us despite all that is going on around us. How can we use expressions of joy to balance our rage, to sustain our fire and celebrate the little things as a form of radical resistance?
