Video Recording: Listening to our Anger. Acting from Love. Elisa Pearmain Nov. 10, 2024

Description

This 60-minute recording of core concepts from Elisa Pearmain’s live zoom workshop explores familial and cultural stories we learned around our right to feel and express anger. We recall times when our righteous anger empowered us to make change. A Buddhist folktale lends insight into the many reasons we hold on to resentments. Elisa guides us in a practice to befriend and learn from our anger, listening with compassion to its wisdom, finding the love and grief underneath, and empowering ourselves to take healing action. 

Understanding how our anger is trying to help us is a crucial step in the forgiveness/healing process. 

Anger is an uncomfortable, often taboo, sometimes dangerous, and very necessary emotion. It informs us when our personal needs are not being met, when there is injustice, and when action is required.
