Resourcing the Rage
a Circle Somatics™ Women’s Circle
7:00pm ET, May 15 2026
Content warning:
This is an invitation for women experiencing rage at patriarchial sexualized violence.
It is good to be enraged right now. And it is not enough to rage alone.
We are carrying a rage that has nowhere to land.
A rage for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. For Epstein. For the digital archives of motherless.com and the countless other sites. For our stolen reproductive rights. For the systems built to harm us—systems that are still operating, still enabled, and still hungry.
This rage is righteous.
And yet, so many of my clients are feeling depleted by it, coming to sessions with the overwhelm, the dissociation, and the heavy fog of a body being pushed to its limits.
This is what I am learning: the rage itself is sustainable. In these times, this fire can be a source of power. What is actually overwhelming us is the very real fear that we will be banished for our anger.
We feel it in the presence of the women who are looking the other way. The women who groomed us into compliance. The women who tell us to stop obsessing over the news, to focus on something "nicer." The women who agree "not all men" as if that phrase could ever appease what we know. The women who slander us in hopes that will help them get higher, and maybe safer, on the patriarchal ladder.
When we are asked to be more palatable, our bodies recognize an ancient, visceral threat:
Shut up, or be cast out.
Why a Circle?
We can rage as long as we need to, but cannot survive forever in fear. Rage is like a fire, if we tend to it and feed it enough to keep the flames a lit, it can burn as long as we need.
It is the fear that comes from knowing that no one is coming to help which burns us out.
The antidote to this fear of banishment is not "healing," it is belonging.
We need the presence of peers who have nothing to gain and nothing to lose by witnessing our rage. We need the biological relief of knowing that we can be enraged and still have a place in the circle.
Circle Somatics™ is a practice where we use the somatic wisdom of our bodies and the relational holding of the circle to be with what we are feeling, rather than being consumed by it or forced to silence it.
In this gathering, we resource that rage through presence, embodied practice, and the truth that only other women can provide:
You are right to be angry, and you are not alone.
This circle gathers:
There’s room for 13 women.
Women with rage about patriarchal sexualized violence against girls and women. Women’s whose body remembers things their mind tries to forget. Women who can be in a room with other women's fury without needing to fix it.
I wish it didn’t need to be said, but it does: Transwomen are women and are welcome. This is not a gathering for men.
If you’re not sure what it will be like to be in a room with rage free to be expressed, I welcome you to try and leave if needed or turn your volume off as you need. However, this circle can't be both a rage-holding space and a safety-management space. Those are different containers. And that's okay. Not every space is for every person. Being triggered by other people's intense feelings is real and important information. That might mean individual work is a better fit for you right now. Reach out—I offer somatic coaching for that.
This gathering will not be recorded.
Not a Release, but a Reclamation
It is important to be clear about what this space is — and what it is not.
We are not intending to exile anger. We will not be punching pillows or screaming into the void. Catharsis without containment often leaves us feeling more fragmented and depleted than it was before. You may leave with as much anger as you did before.
This is about resourcing.
For too long, our bodies have fused two very different experiences: the righteous fire of our rage and the deep terror of banishment. We have learned that to feel the rage is to risk the exile.
In this circle, we will gently untangle the rage from the fear.
We will learn how to feel the rage while simultaneously open to the somatic reality of belonging. We are training to embrace that it is possible to be furious and still be held. To be enraged and still be home.
We aren't here to "get rid" of the rage so we can return to a quiet compliance. We are here to build a hearth — a relational container — where the fire can burn without burning us down.
Meet Tanya
For over 25 years, I've been supporting women in learning to trust themselves and each other. I believe systemic problems create individual consequences, and the only real solution is connection — which means we can't heal alone.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Assistant trainer, and I ground my work in gentle anti-capitalist beliefs.

This gathering is a pilot for a new Circle Somatics™ series I am dreaming about. Because I am refining the container and the practice, this first session is offered freely.
