Love and Rage: A Contemplative Playshop on Liberation

January 14, 2023 • 10:00am-5:30pm (U.S. EST)

“Sometimes it’s okay to think that our anger is trying to protect us. However, it is more truthful to think that it’s actually protecting something else that’s a little deeper than that. It’s protecting our hurt. It’s protecting our broken hearts. The work to turn our attention back to the woundedness is this really intense, profound path of transformation, which doesn’t feel as good as just responding to the anger, because the energy of anger makes us feel powerful.” – Lama Rod Owens.

This is a project_SANCTUS conscious antiracism playshop that will invite us to redefine our relationship with anger, love ourselves deeper, and decolonize towards wholeness. In our day together we will engage in conversation, contemplation, discomfort, love and joy, then gently close our day with ritual. Participants will connect with:

• How we relate to anger and rage
• What our body’s story is, and the various facets of embodiment, trauma and emotional labor
• What it means to practice love and acceptance, during the pandemic, the movement for Black lives, and political unrest
• Holding space for grief, yet also liberating ourselves from the fixation on pain and grief
• Self-care as a form of preservation and how self-care disrupts systems of violence

Economic Justice

We are offering this at different price points in order to acknowledge that some have greater access to privilege and resources. Those with access to more resources pay more and thus provide the cushion for those with less access to pay less, creating a sustainable economic underpinning for services, events and items. This is a part of our commitment to challenging privilege and with that we recognize that financial resources should not be the determining factor for folks who want to access education, information and experience. Here how to navigate our offerings:

$150 – The highest cost – This is how much we would charge for the workshop if we were not implementing a sliding scale. We pay facilitators and leaders a living wage and this amount allows us to continue doing the work we are doing.  If you are financially secure and you have the income to pay for ‘wants’ without it affecting your ability to meet your needs than this is the price to choose.

$110 – The median cost  – This level is for those who would feel the financial pinch if they were to pay the highest price. If you are able to meet your basic needs, but still trying to gain long or short term financial security than this level is for you.

$70 – The lower cost – This level is for those that would not be able to attend workshops/classes at the full rate and their financial circumstance would prevent them from attending classes/workshops if not for an intentional  opportunity available to them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as healthcare, housing, food, childcare, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you probably belong here and deserve a community that honors your price as an equal economic offering as the person who can pay the highest cost.

If you need financial support beyond our three offerings, please reach out to us.
