“One of the most powerful therapeutic processes I have ever been involved in.
I had no idea how much fear I had about expressing my anger and how much energy and clarity
I was denying myself because of that fear. I feel so alive, it's incredible."
Kiri Bear :: Facilitator & Consultant (Domestic Violence)
People come to Reclaiming Anger for all kinds of reasons.
But everyone comes with some degree of fear.
Is it any wonder?
You have probably grown up surrounded by bad examples of anger.
Perhaps you have been hurt by it.
Perhaps you have hurt others with it.
Perhaps you have hidden it away so deep you can’t even find it again when you actually need it.
Or perhaps it is rising up so strongly you can't ignore it any longer.
It's true, there are lots of irresponsible things people can do with anger. It gets a bad reputation.
Past participants of Reclaiming Anger have come into the workshop calling anger
'stupid', 'abhorrent', 'dangerous', 'impolite', 'selfish', 'unjustified', 'hurtful'... the list goes on.
It's understandable if you feel that way.
What else are you supposed to think, when no one around you has consciously practised doing anger well?
Despite all their fear and bad experiences with anger, more than 300 people just like you have found the courage to
experience something completely different at Reclaiming Anger.
Why? Because Reclaiming Anger is a safe, trauma-informed & transformational space that supports you to express Anger in healthy ways rather than push it down even further (as our modern culture trains us to do) and wonder why you keep exploding onto others or imploding and turning it on yourself.
There is another way.

Reclaiming Anger Training participants June 2023
“I used to fear anger. The workshop provided me with an opportunity to confront my fears in a safe space
and experience another side of myself. Utterly profound. Now I see anger as a tool I was using incorrectly;
like digging a hole with an upside down shovel."
Rob Healy :: Film Maker & University Lecturer
“This work completely shifted my whole view of anger. I now see anger as a real gift - a gift that will help me
express the love I feel in a powerful and true way.”
Daniel Banfai :: Environmental Scientist
“I felt the fear and anxiety that I constantly live with just vanish quietly away.
And in that space I found myself. I saw clearly that being afraid of Anger and rejecting it meant that
I also struggled with clarity, making decisions, assertiveness and fearlessly having a voice."
Anon :: Lawyer
“The work that I have done in my Reclaiming Anger workshops has given me clarity where before there
was depression & self harm. I have been able to quit drinking and smoking.
I have learned to feel more and I have learned to speak up.”
Lena Denger :: Mother
Amazing things can happen when you Reclaim your Anger.

In regular life, there are almost no spaces to explore anger safely and honestly.
Most ‘Anger Management’ trainings give you strategies for ‘calming down’ the feeling, but the consequences
of managing yourself out of anger can feel like being at war with yourself.
Calming anger down is still holding it in. And it stays there until you do something different.
Reclaiming Anger is the safe space you’ve never had to get real about Anger; to find safe expression for it;
and to learn to use it skilfully.

“I never saw anger as a child and never learnt how to have a relationship with it.
This has blocked me from being who I am. This workshop helped me connect with my anger and
experience it in a safe, positive & healing space. I feel more connected to myself.”
Dominic :: Public Servant
"I’ve felt exhausted, burnt out, for years and I now see that change is possible through really channelling
the flame [of anger] I’ve been turning onto and against myself for so long. Too long.”
Mim Kempsen :: Writer, Therapist, Student
“I chanced upon this workshop. I can’t begin to convey how profoundly this has aided my
recovery from the aftermath of trauma.”
Kim :: Teacher & Parent

"Oh to have been taught this as a child!
How different my experience of myself and my feelings would have been."
Kate Laurie :: Counsellor & Psychotherapist
“I found my voice and was able to let go and roar without holding myself back.
For the first time ever.”
Steph
“I’ll always remember sharing dinner with everyone on Saturday night.
The joy and relaxation on people’s faces was not what you normally expect from a bunch of people
who’ve spent hours getting angry. The connection with the other participants was amazing.”

SYLVIA ROWLEY
(Co-facilitator in training) I am a storyteller and bodyworker on the path to becoming a Reclaiming Anger trainer.
I work as an award-winning journalist and filmmaker, and as a craniosacral therapist. Anger has been an ally to me in profound ways; from helping me on my healing journey from chronic illness, to birthing my baby. I love supporting others to reconnect with this vital force. |

WAYNE STARKEY
(Co-facilitator in training) I am a deeply curious being. I have been exploring authentic relating, feelings work, mens work, rites of passage, vision quests, self awareness, nature connection, bodywork, sexuality and other related experiences for close to 15 years now.
As long term friends of Stacia and Gero, I have journeyed with them as both participant and support over the years of creating their body of work around Anger. My deepest joy comes from assisting, encouraging and witnessing people liberate long held emotion in their bodies by creating opportunities for them to feel safe enough to courageously be vulnerable. Thus empowering them to deeply feel and express the full spectrum and aliveness of being human. |

KIRI BEAR
(Guest Trainer) I am a coach, facilitator and founder of GriefPlumbers.org bringing awareness to all things death, dying, grief and loss.
I discovered Reclaiming Anger back in 2017 and have been 'all in' with Anger work ever since. I have participated in Rage Clubs, was part of the Reclaiming Anger for Women space holder team in 2019 as well as running two Expand The Box Trainings with Stacia in 2020 & 2022. |

ANNIKA KORSTEN
(Guest Trainer) I am on a quest to use the power of her Anger and feelings work to become more embodied. I use my conscious feelings and the senses of all of my bodies to deepen and explore intimacy between myself and other humans.
I am an expert for Anger, I train space-holders, and empower them to create the spaces and projects their heart longs for. I am a life-long researcher in training myself, unfolding new paradigms to live life moment by moment. I am a Possibility Management Trainer, Sensual and Feelings-informed Massage Practitioner, Guardian of Radically Alive Women and a Wild Foods Alchemist. |

You already know what it's like to have an ordinary weekend.
To watch Netflix, to go to the pub or cafe, to catch up on your long list of things to do.
And you already know what the results of those ordinary choices are.
You know what it's like to wake up on Monday morning after a weekend like that.
Extraordinary spaces like Reclaiming Anger don't happen every weekend, and they don't happen by accident.
It takes a conscious decision to create new possibilities in your life.
If you want Monday mornings to feel different, coming to Reclaiming Anger might be the best weekend of your year.
This is a rare and precious opportunity to spend a transformative weekend with a courageous and compassionate group of humans; to celebrate and learn about our common humanity; and to make a lasting difference to your life.
“I’ve spent thousands on workshops over the last few years, and while they’ve all provided
incredible tools for personal growth, Reclaiming Anger has been the catalyst for change
I’ve been so desperately seeking."
