Kate Johnson, Dawn Haney, & Katie Loncke – U Mad? Wisdom for Rageful Times

Benefits For Your Practice and Activism

We all have habits around anger. Some of us avoid it at all costs. Others embrace righteous rage as essential self defense. Trauma and anger (its presence, or conspicuous absence) often intertwine.

When you take this 7-week online series, you’ll find:

• Wise reflections from dharma teachers who care deeply about social justice

• Techniques for working with rage, trauma, and betrayal

• Exploration guides to discover your own relationship to anger

• Tools to evaluate when rage is more skillful or less skillful for you

• Community support from like-minded wisdom seekers

• Opportunities to build your skills at allyship and solidarity

• Ability to face rage-making realities with more compassion, balance, and action

• Increased capacity to work with others toward liberation — including difficult people
