Anger and Forgiveness Workshop

12/17/2020

0 Comments

 
Dear Curious Souls,
      Perhaps you've noticed that in the last few years anger has become the prime emotion that fills our daily news cycle, our social media feeds, and the streets; anger on all sides of debates surrounding race, immigration, the environment, the pandemic, truth and lies, corruption and conspiracy. Perhaps you feel it too, bubbling up daily.
     Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly, depending on your point of view), this anger seems to be embraced more than avoided in our culture, and it's popularly seen as a sign of strength, integrity and care, rather than a problem or vice. It is seen as the necessary motor and motivation behind change, reform and the fight for justice. But is anger as productive as it is popularly thought to be? 
     In our next workshop in January we'll read selections from Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment, Generosity, Justice by contemporary philosopher Martha Nussbaum and consider the uses and abuses of anger in political life. We'll examine the ways in which anger blocks productive political movement and discuss ways in which it might transition into collaborative problem solving. We'll also have a chance to reflect on the the kinds of anger we experience personally and consider how we might transform them into productive action.

Come with us to:
  • Think critically about different forms of anger and distinguish between those that block us and those that move us forward
  • Examine examples of non-anger in the leadership of Gandhi, MLK, Jr. and Nelson Mandela
  • Experiment with strategies for transforming your own anger into forward-looking action

Saturdays, January 9, 16, 23, 2020, 1-3:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Online via Zoom

What Our Clients Are Saying
​
​

"Monica meets you on every level: She’ll readily engage with any abstract ideas you have about the world or the self, and analyze those ideas with you, but she also has a way of making you feel that she viscerally understands the difficulty of the situations you’re describing. When I talk to her, I have the feeling that I’m talking to someone who is very present, who is on my side, and who has also fought to be able to live her own life on her terms."
"Conversations with Monica feel non-hierarchical. She is working through the questions with you, not diagnosing you or analyzing you."
"I get the sense that philosophical counseling for Monica is an extension of who she is. These difficult topics are a part of her own life, and she is comfortable talking about what is uncomfortable."
