They're usually held in forests where women unleash lungfuls of loud shrieks and use sticks to beat objects on the ground.
The best way to participate is to channel the people and experiences that have wronged you, then scream and swing the sticks until you can no longer move your arms.
@miamagik Rage Rituals- my honor to facilitate. Staying silent in the face of injustice has become the norm because, at one time, the alternative was death. So many of us have never touched the fires of this emotion. Suppression of our truth is a major factor of the witch wound that lives in our very DNA. But we can rewrite our stories. Which is exactly my intention every time I lead this ritual at my retreats. Rage has been villainized to keep us from banding together, as its sacred spark has ignited much positive change to reclaiming our civil rights & liberties. Of course raging AT someone isn’t usually very helpful, but even the fiery feeling can be so unfamiliar we experience it as Sadness. Which is deemed a more acceptable emotion, so often, we might cry when what we really want to do is scream. There is a deeper intimacy with ourselves we experience when we feel permission to express ALL of who we are in a safe space. That’s what I’m here to hold and create, and what an honor it is. Though rage and ritual don’t often go together, when they do, the transformation witnessed and experienced is otherworldly. Come access the magikal healing of this energy for yourself held in conscious community and sacred sisterhood with me in Scotland October 9-14th 2023. Let’s get this revelatory revolution underway shall we?!

In an interview with USA Today, organizer Mia Banducci explained why women need this therapy.
"It's like, 'Don't be a bitch' or 'Don't be angry' or 'Don't be aggressive' or 'Don't stand up for yourself,' 'Don't protect your integrity,' 'Don't tell anyone that they don't have consent to touch your body or speak to you in a certain way.' "
She continues. "There are particular emotions that are accepted in the gender binary that we each need to feel. Men need to cry - and it's so healthy for men to cry - and women need to be able to get angry."
Videos of the rituals have been popping up on TikTok, with much praise from women.
Comments included "Damn. This is powerful. I believe we, collectively, as women have so much ancestral and personal rage built up over all we've had to endure. It's powerful 🥺"
"Why did I have an immediate visceral reaction and start crying?"
"I literally cried seeing this… I NEED this."
The good news for Canadians is that these ceremonies aren't just in the States.
A "Sacred Rage Ceremony" will be held in Alberta in July and hosted at Secret Sanctuary.
