“The greatest challenge of the day is: 
how to bring about a revolution of the heart,
a revolution which has to start with each one of us.”

​Women's Anger Inspiring Prophetic Action: A Mini Spiritual Retreat

Soraya Chemaly wrote Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger to reform society’s understanding of anger. When women express anger, they are criticized, ridiculed, ignored, and deemed irrational. Chemaly poses multiple questions which will be explored during the retreat: "What would it mean to ungender our emotions? What would the world look like if we expressed emotions without condemnation? What do we lose, personally and as a society, by not listening to women’s anger or respecting it when it does have a voice? How does our treatment of women’s 'anger-free emotionality' relate to democracy and put us at risk of authoritarianism?"

This retreat will follow Chemaly’s exploration of gender and emotions to reform our own relationship with anger. It will challenge how we have been socialized to villainize anger and ignore our own. Additionally, this retreat will invite participants to delve deeper into reflection, connect with their emotions, and hopefully inspire them to use their emotions as a motivator to be advocates for justice.
