3-Day Workshop, 4/30/21 – 5/2/21, “From Anger to Creating Peace, Freedom & Healing”

THIS IS NOT ANGER “MANAGEMENT.”

THIS IS ABOUT DEEP INTROSPECTIVE WORK TO HEAL YOUR HEART, MIND, BODY & SOUL.

THIS IS ANGER TRANSFORMATION.

About this Event

You’ve gone to great lengths to tame, minimize, control, suppress, and hide anger and rage that are a violent part of you because you don’t want anyone to see it or feel it.

After all of that controlling and suppressing, you’re destructive and out of control when you finally release it. With regret and pain, you end up hurting yourself and those around you.

Unfortunately, when you fight to hold anger in, this bottled-up angry energy consumes you, weights you down, leaves you exhausted, and comes at a cost to your health and well-being, affecting you emotionally, physically, and psychologically.

Anger is a deeply misunderstood primary emotion to be experienced as a powerful, necessary, creative, and wise energetic force.

Anger tells you to pay attention to yourself, to heal your soul, and to take action.

Be ready to dive deep into how you relate to and experience anger and rage.

Be ready to look at and understand yourself on a profoundly intimate level.

Be ready to wake up your authentic expression and finally learn how to use this powerful energy so that it leaves you feeling alive and energized instead of depleted and exhausted.

What people say about my workshops, trainings & intensives…

“Thank you, Vanessa for leading and hosting the space for this work on transforming anger. It has been empowering and I find myself able to have deeper connection within myself with less and less shame and repression. I have noticed a dual benefit of accessing self-confidence while simultaneously being more compassionate and present in relationships with others. Knowing my worth helps me have the bravery to and language to have vulnerable conversations, and see the value of taking the risk to do so. I am more clear in defining my boundaries, and continue to learn and practice this. I am more sensitized to resentment, identifying how it feels, and tending to it early on so it does not fester. I am able to identify my needs, …the needs chart is brilliant and transformative, it has totally changed the lens I have available when interacting with others, and also helps me take care of myself with specificity, timeliness, and attention. I will continue to put it into practice. The work you are doing is so incredibly needed… we could say now more than ever, but the need is always there. 2020 has brought anger right up to the bubbling surface of our delicate society and relationships, and anyone who desires peace needs these living tools and practices. To take the risk to go inward and get to know the naked nuances, power, and information that anger holds for us. If we continue to distract and dissociate ourselves away from anger, then we will never fully know ourselves or be nourished by what anger has to teach us. Nor will we be able to feel and move through the world as whole being.” ~~SC, Chief Instructor & Acupuncturist

“Vanessa’s work in anger to me is revolutionary. I’ve had an eight-year, five-day-a week psychoanalysis, and never got to this key element. Long story. This work – this final frontier – is to me the missing link in how to get into and understand and free myself up of the one element that has stayed buried and yet is completely common to every single difficulty I have. On one hand, it is the most practical tool to have to handle that one element in life that is constantly pushed away, feared, and the brewing pot for so much inner turmoil. In doing this work, the anger itself becomes a klieg light to illuminate what is REALLY going on! I wish I could say more, but honestly, I wish I had learned this in my early teens. It’s breathtaking to me that it’s not standard learning for everyone. I am so grateful.” ~~MM, Fiduciary Accountings

“Vanessa’s “From Anger to Creating…” came at the perfect time for me. I had just been promoted at work and began leading others on my team. Her algorithm came to my rescue many times during that transition. Using her process helped me process conflict, discomfort, frustration and anger many times. Sitting down and going through the steps helped me distance myself from the surface-level emotions and undue loadedness of situations and emerge with the mindful perspective and grace of a true leader. Thank you so much Vanessa and the rest of the folks in my course, who were incredibly supportive and wise. A true open mind and heart towards this course WILL make your life BETTER…Loved every minute of it! ~~AM, Incubation Manager

“I’m exceedingly glad that I participated in Vanessa’s “From Anger to Creating…” on addressing anger. So often I feel alone in my struggles–with anger and otherwise. Vanessa’s workshop opened the door to observing others’ struggles with similar issues I have to face, and that provided me with life-long comfort that I’m not alone. Vanessa is a dynamic, experienced guide at tapping into inner struggles with anger and other emotions. Give it a chance, you won’t regret it.” ~~BT, Attorney at Law & CPA

“Opening up the dark corners of our anger can feel like a formidable and daunting task. Vanessa led me on a path to understanding and compassion of my own feelings and the right I have to be angry. I have learned to approach my feelings in a much more patient and curious way. Writing down the “mean” thoughts one has in the depths of an angry episode is crucial to slowing the whirl of raw emotions that can come up. Even the language surrounding anger can be adapted to come from a more vulnerable and true place. It’s tough, lifelong work, but so worth exploring.” ~~SF, HR Manager

“Vanessa has the great ability to guide others safely and courageously through their own shadows, so they can meet them and befriend them. I really enjoyed the, “From Anger to Creating Peace“ course and got so much out of it. Before I was not able to express my anger adequately, I would either suppress it or explode with violence. I now feel equipped to express my needs more healthily and timely. Now I see my anger as a powerful guide when something is off and to either work through it (if I project things onto another person) or to take it as the instinctual warning sign that somebody is indeed not safe to be around and act accordingly. Those lines have been blurry in the past but now they are very clear. The work Vanessa does is incredibly important and useful, I wish everybody worked with her. The world would be a more peaceful place…” ~~SU, Astrologer, Artist & Medium

“Vanessa Alfaro is a powerhouse who has battled her own shadow and uses her duly-acquired expertise to help people transform their relationship with anger. During her program, I truly got that anger is fucking normal! The breakthroughs have continued even after the program. My self-expression is expanding, and my authenticity the sense of self are the beautiful beneficiaries. Thank you, Vanessa!” ~~AK, Couples Financial Counselor

“Using our personal relationship to anger, Vanessa creates a safe space to be vulnerable and reframe our relationship with this powerful and mostly misunderstood emotion, while opening us up to what it means to be in touch with all our feelings and life affirming needs. What was especially helpful was the way she modeled a clear path to face and transform our difficult emotional life experiences. My biggest ah ha was seeing that while I have made progress along the path, it’s from the perspective of my old patterns…that are still tugging.” –JF, LLB

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up, actually, I couldn’t even pin-point what I wanted and needed to get out of it. Working with Vanessa has not only helped me work through my anger, but also connect with my needs and my feelings and express them more clearly. I’m able to recognize now, that a lot of my frustration was with not being able to identify and express my feelings and this intensive weekend has helped me with that, tremendously. At best, I was hoping to come away with some new tools to manage my anger. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised to notice that I’m not as quick to anger in general. The skills I learned have helped me identify EARLY, my physical and emotional signals and work with them and stay in control. Since taking her 2-day intensive, I haven’t thrown a cell phone or punched a hole in the wall. I hope there is an ‘advanced’ class one day, because I will be first on the list to join. Looking forward to doing more great work with Vanessa. If you’re on the fence, take the leap, you will be so glad you did.” –RC, General Manager & Head of Operations

“I have attended numerous workshops, gone on many retreats, and engaged in lots of rituals and ceremonies and when I participated in Vanessa’s workshop, I was extremely impressed with Vanessa’s ability to create a sacred, safe, and supportive container and facilitate deep and powerful work in a very compassionate way. Vanessa is present, attuned, empathetic, genuine, and empowered. She asks amazing questions that help one go deeper and get a better handle on one’s truth. Her workshop is rich with information, tools, and experiential learning. Vanessa incorporates meditation, breathwork, embodied practices, creative expression, ancestral work, psychology- all within the context of the nonviolent communication paradigm. She teaches fundamental skills for how to feel, process, and express anger in a constructive way, skills I wished I learned as a child. I see how, without these skills, I have created a lot of unnecessary suffering in my life and relationships. This workshop is beneficial for any human being who wishes to be healthier and have healthier personal and professional relationships and is also valuable for those working in any field related to personal growth and mental health.” –AR, Psychologist

“Vanessa’s workshop helped me to create more acceptance around the anger I was experiencing so that I could see it as a trusted and important source of information. I walked away from the workshop feeling supported, accepted, and free to express ALL of my emotions in healthy ways. Vanessa creates a safe, very real, and connective environment and she is highly skilled at listening to what’s not being said to help her clients unlock the real source of anger. I have loved working with her!” –JT, Leadership Coach & Organizational Consultant

“I had a very powerful experience in Vanessa’s anger workshop. I had anticipation and anxiety upon deciding to take the class and leading up to it but was also strangely clear that I needed to do this workshop. While taking it I was aware that there were layers upon layers of anger that I could access. Being given permission to acknowledge it, work with it and release it was very cathartic. What has been most surprising is how I have had more access to these layers since doing this workshop and thereby more release. I would strongly suggest this workshop!” –JM, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

“I have participated in a lot of workshops on communication and emotions, and Vanessa’s workshop was hands down one of the best, especially for being only 3 hours long. The questions, handouts, and worksheets did an excellent job of connecting me with my feelings and needs about a situation that has been bothering me in my relationship with my dad. Even though my prior experience learning nonviolent communication led me to believe that “I already know this stuff,” I also knew that I was having a hard time practicing it with my dad, and Vanessa’s workshop was a great reminder of the importance of following the steps! Just do the work! Every time! Don’t skip it. Don’t intellectualize it. Don’t say you already know it. Just do it. Feel the feelings. Listen to what they are telling you. These steps serve as a road map to get from anger to clarity, and the first part of the workshop taught me how not following the steps has been affecting my health. Anger is important but holding onto it and not working through it can be toxic. One last thing I want to say is that I was the only cisgender man in the workshop, and that’s a problem. The world needs more men who understand their emotions and know how to take responsibility for their emotional experiences. I can’t even imagine how my life would be different if I had been raised by a man who had a healthy relationship with his anger. So, to the men out there, I want to say, “This is the work. Vanessa teaches it very well.” –NJR, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

“NVC (nonviolent communication) seemed like such bullshit to me until Vanessa’s workshop. What a breath of fresh air Vanessa is! Swear, be animated, get angry. The steps Vanessa presented are concrete and tangible. I found (and find) them useful. In most workshops, participants are presented with theory, do some feel-good exercises, and go home without new tools. I finally got permission to be myself. Now I get to learn how to also be constructive because it’s not okay to rip into others and walk away, leaving bleeding bodies all over the floor. The steps for processing anger will help me process my feelings on my own – what is mine, what belongs to the other person, and what is ours. Having clarity and working on what’s mine will allow me to develop healthy strategies for dealing with what’s ours.” –LLB, Retired
