Anger is a "bad thing", right?

Not necessarily!

Anger serves an important purpose, and is an essential part of our human experience. Anger can help us find our voice, discover what is important to us, and stand up for ourselves and our values with dignity. But it is too often misunderstood and misused.

Many of us have been taught that anger is synonymous with aggression -- defeating and destroying one's enemies -- and yet we know what kind of damage that can do. So rather than allowing our anger, many of us learn to repress it, or turn it inward against ourselves, which also does damage. Neither of these approaches is particularly healthy, and neither allows anger to effectively do its job, which is to protect the things and people we care about.

Befriending your anger and using it skillfully will benefit both you and those around you.

Join Anne Lafleur for this engaging workshop that will explore:

• How to identify anger

• How and when you personally experience anger

• What you can learn from your anger

• Healthy practices for working with anger
