SUMMARY:Anger: From Poison to Presence | Online Retreat with Amma Thanasanti
DESCRIPTION:Many long-term meditators find that anger remains one of the more difficult experiences to meet fully with wisdom and freedom. We develop the capacity to observe it\, to create space around it\, to watch it arise and pass — and still\, familiar patterns in how we relate to it can continue returning. The same places we get caught. The same sense that something more is needed. \n \nFor many practitioners\, deeper awareness does not immediately dissolve anger patterns\, but instead reveals them more clearly. \n \nThis daylong workshop-style retreat\, led by Amma Thanasanti\,  takes that experience seriously — and uses it as the entry point. \nWe will work directly with anger both as an object of practice and as a source of information and insight: its different forms\, its intelligence\, and what lives beneath it. Through meditation\, teaching\, and structured inquiry\, we will follow what awareness reveals — and stay honest about what that points toward. \n \nThe day is built in three arcs. We begin by building ground — resourcing the nervous system and honoring what practice has already developed in us. From that stability we move into direct exploration of anger: its many expressions\, its weight\, and what lives beneath it. The final arc is integration — bringing what has been seen into relationship with practice and daily life\, and closing the container with steadiness and care. \n \nThis will not be a processing space or a substitute for therapy. It is a practice day — grounded\, embodied\, and oriented toward deeper clarity\, discernment\, and presence. \nWe will share more details about the day’s schedule ahead of the session. The full session will be from 11 am – 6 pm ET but there will be plenty of breaks.   \n \nPlease Note:   \nThis retreat is not the right container for you if: \n• You are currently finding it difficult to regulate in daily life \n• You are looking for a space to process deep emotional wounds or traumatic memories — this is a practice day\, not a therapeutic space \n• You are in an early stage of trauma recovery where working with anger may be activating without sufficient support in place \n• You are not yet connected to a therapist or support system and sense this retreat may be a substitute for one \n \nParticipant Guidelines \nThis day works with material that can be activating. Participants are encouraged to stay within their own capacity throughout. Backing off\, slowing down\, or choosing not to engage with an inquiry prompt is understood as wise and skillful practice — not failure. \nPlease click the link below to RSVP for this event. \nhttps://mmtcpalumni.org/events/
