UNDERSTANDING ANGER AND TRANSMUTING IT INTO NEUTRALITY

Anger is a universal emotion. I don't think there's any person who has never felt it in their life.

Sometimes we're angry with life, sometimes with someone else, and sometimes with ourselves. We use it to let the world and others know that something is bothering us or to express our displeasure. Other times, it's passive, hidden beneath our words and actions, leading us to become passive-aggressive over time. But what's next? Is anger our best strategy each time we feel displeasure?

In my experience, it's not the most optimal response to any situation—not because anger is a "bad" emotion, but simply because anger doesn't get us the results we want. It doesn't change the situation or circumstance we're in. And when it comes to people, the person most affected by anger is the one experiencing it. Whoever the anger is directed toward usually doesn't really care, because if they cared in the first place, we wouldn't have been angry.

I also know that most of us don't want to be angry and would love to choose a better response. But we feel that anger is so instinctive—it just happens.

What can change the response? When we begin to understand the root cause of anger, we unearth our ability to choose a different response. And that's exactly what we'll do in this hands-on workshop on Saturday, 8th November 2025. We will:

• Understand and process our anger,

• Discover ways to shift from a state of anger to a state of neutrality, and

• Develop the awareness to choose a different response the next time
