introduction to
transforming anger into
creative life force

Led by: joy d'andrea
produced by: Denise hartley and stacie Leone

We are gathering a curated circle of practitioners and seekers for our upcoming workshop, Introduction to Transforming Anger into Creative Life Force.

This event marks the first time this specific model is being brought to a Western audience. It is led by Joy D’Andrea, who brings nearly 30 years of energy facilitation experience, and co-produced by Stacie Leone and Denise Hartley.

Our core intention is to educate, heal, and grow our relationship with the emotion of Anger. Together, we will learn the practical skills that enable the transformation of anger for both our own and our clients’ personal growth, allowing us to deeply reconnect with our vital Creative Life Force.

​

What you will learn

In this experientially-based Introduction to Transforming Anger into Creative Life Force we will be covering the following aspects in learning more about our relationship with Anger:

• Conscious Awareness: Exploring the images, belief systems, and behavioral imprinting we carry around anger. Bringing more Conscious Awareness to the feeling of Anger and our patterns of behavior connected with it.

• Early development: Understanding how as children our spontaneous self-expression became controlled in order to feel safe and loved 

• Transference: Discovering how transference impacts our ability to remain present and function in a healthy way.

• Primary vs. Secondary Anger: Learning discernment between Secondary Anger (how many experience the emotion of anger) and Primary Anger (our existential drive to secure our needs). This discernment is the key to breaking old, painful behavioral patterns and accessing our Creative Life Force.
