What We Practice
🔥 Rage Rituals
Guided spaces for acknowledging and expressing anger through writing, movement, art, ritual, and embodied practices.
🪞 Parts Practice
Facilitated exercises for interviewing difficult emotions and discovering what those parts may be protecting, communicating, grieving, or demanding.
âš¡ Rage Into Action
Exploring how emotional energy can inform boundaries, difficult conversations, organizing, resistance, community protection, and personal change.
🌿 Coming Back to Ourselves
Practices for moving from activation toward rest, pleasure, connection, and choice—not because anger was wrong, but because we deserve somewhere to go after the fire.
From Darkness to Power
Sacred Rage also challenges the idea that healing requires us to divide ourselves into light and dark, acceptable and unacceptable, healed and unhealed.
Some of our most powerful parts have been called ugly precisely because they refuse to make themselves convenient for other people.
So instead of asking:
"How do I get rid of this part of myself?"
Sacred Rage asks:
"How do I metabolize what happened to me into greater clarity, boundaries, creativity, pleasure, action, and power?"
The thing meant to make us small can become material for our becoming.
Not because harm was necessary. Not because suffering automatically makes us stronger. But because we get to decide what happens to the energy that remains.
The Parts Practice
One of the central tools of Sacred Rage is The Parts Practice, inspired by Parts Therapy. Instead of saying, "I shouldn't feel this way," participants learn to interview the part of themselves carrying the emotion. Talk to the part that wants revenge, the part that wants to disappear, the part that wants to scream, and the part that is exhausted from always being the "mature" one. The goal isn't to let every emotion drive. The goal is to stop throwing parts of ourselves out of the car.
Sacred Rage
Your rage is not the opposite of your healing.
We are often taught that healing should make us quieter.
More agreeable. More forgiving. Less confrontational. Less angry.
We are praised for how well we can swallow our feelings. Silence gets mistaken for peace. Conflict avoidance gets called regulation. And when anger—especially Black women's anger—becomes visible, it is often described as unhealthy, bitter, dangerous, ugly, or evidence that we have not healed.
Sacred Rage rejects that story.
Sacred Rage is a Pleasure Commons program exploring anger, grief, resentment, jealousy, fear, disgust, and other emotions we have been taught to exile as sources of information, protection, movement, and power.
We aren't interested in teaching people how to become less angry.
We are interested in asking what the anger knows.
