Sacred Rage: A Ritual of Release & Reclamation

Are you tired of being quiet? Of being polite? Are you ready to unlock the places within you that have been shut down or frozen?

What if your rage is not something to suppress — but something sacred?

Your rage is not a flaw. It is not “too much.” It is not wrong.

Our anger is as divine as our joy. As holy as our pleasure. It is a sacred signal — an indicator that a boundary has been crossed, that something unjust has occurred.

When anger is suppressed or shamed, it does not disappear. It lodges in the body. It smolders beneath the surface. It leaks out sideways — or erupts.

But what if this powerful force were given a safe and intentional space to be felt, expressed, and witnessed?

When we consciously befriend and honor our rage, it becomes medicine. It sharpens clarity. It restores boundaries. It reconnects us to our power. From that place, joy expands. Freedom deepens. Wholeness becomes available.

What to Expect

In this 3.5-hour ritual container, you will be invited to come home to your body — and to the truth of what lives there.

Your voice is welcome. Your tears are welcome. Your sweat is welcome. Your “no” is welcome. Every part of you is welcome.

Nothing is forced. Nothing is performative. This is not about reliving trauma. This is about reclaiming your power.

Inside this container, we will:

• Ground and resource the nervous system

• Build safety and consent agreements together

• Cultivate community connection and inclusion

• Move through guided somatic practices

• Work with breath, sound, and vocal release

• Engage in intentional movement and embodied expression

• Create space for anger to surface, move, and transform

Your whole self is honored here. You move at your own pace. You choose how you show up. The parts of you that have been silenced, shamed, or frozen are invited back — on your terms, with the steady support of community.

Come ready to listen to your body, to feel what has been unfelt, and to leave with more of yourself than you arrived with. On the other side of this ritual awaits deeper clarity, embodied strength, and a fuller sense of who you are.

All humans 18+ welcome. Limited to 10 attendees total.

This event will be offered seasonally in October, January, April, and July. Each ritual will be flavored with the current season that we're in; expressing and collaborating with the cyclical themes and dynamics that nature provides us.

What to bring:

1. Journal

2. Water bottle

3. A large mixing bowl (any material)

4. A shawl or scarf large enough to cover your head

5. Anything extra that your body needs to be comfortable on the floor. (the studio provides yoga mats, blankets, & blocks)

6. Any items that feel important to be added to our altar (items will be returned unless they’re intended as an offering)

What to wear: Comfortable clothing that allows full body range of motion. Layers are helpful as your temperature will fluctuate. The studio is a shoe free zone so you will need to be barefoot or wearing socks.

Who are your facilitators: Andrea Thompson and Ida Cavewoman have been close friends for over 20 years and have spent over a decade regularly practicing magic together within a Coven. Through their mutual respect and deep trust of one another, their medicine weaves in an effortless way and you’re sure to be in good hands for such BIG work.

Andrea is a native to Oregon, lover of magic, tinkering herbalist and dancer at heart. She has cultivated her practice of holding space for others through her 25 years of Massage Therapy experience in which she deeply listens to what the individual’s body is asking for and what old stories are ready to be released in that precise moment versus going with a specific protocol. Studying with Danielle Renee Battigione initiated her into her Magical practice many moons ago. Since then, she has shared and held ritual space in various magical workshops, embodiment events and at Soul Revival Ecstatic Dance for BIPOC. To hear more about her magical practice, check out Magic From the Root Podcast. To learn more about her offerings for bodywork, you can find her at www.andreatlmt.com.

Ida is an American-born Nordic Folk Magic and shamanic practitioner and a retired massage therapist with over twenty years of hands-on experience. Rooted in ancestral healing, she weaves earth-based wisdom with somatic embodiment to help modern people remember their lineage, reconnect with their bodies, and restore their relationship with nature. Blending folk traditions, movement, guided journeys, sound healing, breathwork, and ritual, she creates transformative spaces for remembrance, connection, and belonging. She is the founder of Caveside Wellness in Gladstone and co-owner of The Way Home Studio in Southeast Portland, devoted to helping others reclaim their roots and return home to themselves.
