EMOTIONAL RELEASE RITUAL

Experience emotional liberation through this powerful practice of energetic cleansing.
Each month at Temple Nova, we intentionally move into a space of feeling dense emotions like shame, sadness, grief, and anger to create enough energy to release them from our bodies, so we don't have to carry their heavy weight. It is a potent communal practice.
The pre-requisites for Sacred Rage are having an understanding of Emotional Release Techniques, which you can learn through our Virtual Temple, and a willingness and ability to reach out for support if needed. Sacred Rage practice can be intense, and we want to ensure you have support should you need it.
2025 dates coming soon!
This power of this practice invites you to:
connect with and feel the full spectrum of emotions, so you can actually feel more of the "good" stuff too.
mobilize the scars on your heart to let more love flow.
alchemize the pain and sorrow into sweetness, compassion and care.
let it all go, in a safe, well-contained space, where all of you is welcome.
shed the layers of everything that isn't 'you' to reconnect with everything you are at your core.
The Structure of Sacred Rage:
Opening Circle: a space to share your intentions and anything on your heart
Transmission: a short display of what a Sacred Rage session could look like and time to answer questions about the ritual
Ritual: 40 - 60 minute emotional release practice with each person in their own space, moving whatever needs to move
Closing Circle and Co-regulation: a space to share our journey, if we wish, and to settle our nervous systems before we depart
What should I bring to Sacred Rage?
Here are some items to bring:
- clothing in layers - you may get warm
- two sturdy pillows - meditation pillows, bolsters, cushions
- a blanket (for comfort)
- journal and something to write with
- water bottle with a lid
What clothes should I wear to Sacred Rage?
Wear layers that are easy to move in and easy to take off, as there is lots of movement and things get hot. Avoid loose clothing as it can get caught up in your arms and legs as you're moving around in ritual.
I don't feel rage or anger, but I feel other emotions like grief, sadness, fear and shame. Are these welcome at Sacred Rage?
Absolutely. Sacred Rage is an emotional release ritual to feel all the intense feels. Laughter, joy and excitement are present sometimes as well!
There are just as many tears sprung, as there are screams and pillow punches, so all of your emotions are welcome and celebrated.
Where do I find the videos about the techniques?
They're available for free in the Virtual Temple. Sign up through the link, watch and practice a little before you come. Should you have any questions about the emotional release techniques, please ask them during the transmission portion of the ritual.
I'd feel shy doing this in a group. Is it possible to do a private session?
This is a common request, and completely understandable. Casey holds Bodymind Clearing sessions for individuals and small groups that can include Sacred Rage, among other shamanic rituals. You can learn more and schedule a mini-session with her here.
With that said, it can often be more uncomfortable to release emotions in front of one person who's attention is focused solely on you, than to release emotions in a room full of people who are in their own experience, paying little attention to what's around them because they're so immersed in their own experience. During group Sacred Rage rituals, there's also a collective healing that emanates through the field and the energy of the room often supports more release in each individual who's present.
Each is a different experience, but in terms of the question, you'd be surprised at the level of expansion people have, especially after attending a few rituals.
Who facilitates Sacred Rage?
Our Temple Pillars facilitate our Sacred Rage rituals. Genevieve is our main facilitator, but Casey, Braedyn, and Aaron lead Sacred Rage rituals as well.
I have significant trauma and mental health issues. Is Sacred Rage right for me?
If you are currently in an acute state of trauma, Sacred Rage is not recommended. If you have a history of moderate to severe mental illness, speak with your doctor or therapist to see if an emotional release practice would serve you. If you've been through a healing journey and you're on the other side with a collection of tools and a healthy support system, Sacred Rage could benefit you.
Please inform our Temple Team if any of these situations describe you, so we can keep you and the container safe enough for a Sacred Rage ritual.
