<\/p>\n“Rage has lost its respectability. We need to make rage respectable again.”
\n[June Jordan, A Place of Rage documentary.]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I highly recommend Ruth King\u2019s workshop. In 2003, I participated in the workshop conducted at the National Black Lesbian Conference and was quiet transformed by the experience. Good healing medicine for those who want it.<\/p>\n

\nTransforming Our Rage Inheritance
\nA Daylong Retreat For People Of Color
\nWith Ruth King<\/p>\n
February 10, 2007
\n10 am – 4 pm
\nEast Bay Meditation Center
\n2147 Broadway @ 22nd St., downtown Oakland
\nOpen to all People of Color
\nWe each embody a rage inheritance\u2014the unresolved rage of our parents and ancestors\u2014that we live out of unconscious loyalty to them. The day\u2019s practice will incorporate African indigenous wisdom and Family Constellations methodology as we reveal entanglements with the fate of family ancestors. We create a \u201cknowing field\u201d as we stand in for each other and decode these sacred legacies. Applying the Brahma Viharas:
\nLoving-Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Sympathetic Joy (Mudita), and Equanimity (Upekkha), we reacquaint ourselves with our basic goodness and learn how to be at peace in our present-day relationships, lives, and service.<\/p>\n
In this workshop, we:
\n\u2022 Let go of habitual pain patterns.
\n\u2022 Release long-standing traumas.
\n\u2022 Be present to and enjoy the moment.
\n\u2022 Expand perceptions of right and wrong.
\n\u2022 Balance life.
\n\u2022 Develop satisfying relationships.
\n\u2022 Rest well in body, mind and spirit.
\n\u2022 Embody satisfying and healing legacies.<\/p>\n
In this profoundly intimate and experiential work, we experience the beauty and complexity of unconditional love. We discover how seeing, being, and honoring our past frees us to be powerful and genuine in our present-day relationships, lives, and service.<\/p>\n
