RAGEher Chicago: The world is heavy, this is your release.

  • Hairpin Arts Center 2810 N Milwaukee Ave Chicago United States (map)

The world is heavy right now.

Many of us are navigating heartbreak, grief, caregiving, burnout, relationship challenges, uncertainty, and major life transitions while also carrying the weight of injustice, violence, division, and the collective pain unfolding around us.

And yet we're rarely taught what to do with the emotions that arise in response.

Especially anger.

Most of us were never taught what to do with anger.

So we swallow it.

And it’s actively harming us. We turn it inward as self-criticism. We carry it in our shoulders, jaws, stomachs, nervous systems, relationships, and bodies. We call it stress, burnout, overwhelm, tension, chronic fatigue, resentment, depression, numbness, and autoimmune disease, and a random collection of body ailments. 

But anger isn't the problem.

Anger is the force behind human rights movements, boundary setting, truth telling, protection, liberation, pleasure, and the courage to move toward our deepest yearnings and desires.

RAGEher offers something different.

Through movement, music, somatic practices, and community, you'll be guided through a powerful emotional release experience designed to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself you've been taught to suppress.

This isn't about losing control.

It's about learning how to use your rage on purpose, toward purpose.

Held by experienced Rage Doulas with thousands of hours of training in somatics, coaching, therapy, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care, you'll be supported every step of the way inside a carefully facilitated emotional container.

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

Think girls' night out meets emotional liberation.

The experience begins in the Tempest Tavern, where you'll connect with fellow Ragelings and the Rage Doulas holding the space.

From there, you'll move to the Fury Floor, a guided musical journey that gradually builds in intensity. You'll be invited to move, shake, stomp, scream, cry, hit pillows, tantrum, laugh, grieve, or simply witness—whatever your body needs to do to release. 

The evening concludes in the Livid Lounge, where participants gather for reflection, integration, snacks, and connection.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

Admission to the 2.5-hour experience
Virtual post-event integration session (60 minutes)
Access to our ongoing Rageling community via WhatsApp
