I have been going to rage club with Gabriela Fagundes for about 4 weeks. I have been learning how to get in touch with and express my anger but I often encounter blocks. Fear of what others with think. I have a heart time letting it all out.

Today during the I hate practice I was able to let it all out. I was also able to connect my anger to my words in a way I haven’t in a long time. It felt different to be able to say I hate with clarity and power. Sometimes I have said I hate… in a way that gives away my power and feels helpless. This new way felt so good. I hate changing myself for other people and trying to make others comfortable! I am done giving a fuck. I hate not having good male role models. I hate how suppressed I am and how suppressed so many people are. I hate how boring life is. I hate drama, I hate mold and having to spend all my money on my health… and more and more. I let it all out.

I felt my energetic body and physical body change, become more powerful, more clear more present and direct. I felt myself transform. It felt like when I was younger and was learning karate from one of the best karate masters in NYC. I felt so alive. I will bring this back into my life. Into my boundaries and decisions and interactions with other people.

For so long I had a lot of anger but didn’t know what to do with it. I had the story that it was useless since situations that made me angry have past. I couldn’t change the past situation but I had this anger and didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t know how to let it go. I now have a new way of being with it that feels good. My anger was hurting me, making me feel small, making me hate myself, making me not trust people and putting a wall between me and others. I am very grateful for finding this other way. This new way of using my anger to find clarity and to protect and empower me and show me new information. I have been searching for a long time.

I deeply appretiate your spaceholding qualities Gabriela. The balance of sword and chocolate, you didn’t let people away with things yet people also felt supported and ‘held’.

You also used your anger and fear to notice small signals from the team.. especially if they had an impulse and supported them to speak up. You empower people to take back their agency. And this Rage Club for me was about leaving school. I learned for the first time to interrupt people.

I thought the experiments you brought there was a wide variety of experience. A big Go for experimenting with allowing what came from the group .

I was particularly impressed with how you supported the conversation around sexual energy in the last session. .. it was a testament to the supportive environment that grew from this group and the collaboration created .. that these men were able to verbalise their fears around this topic and also feel the support from the women

Your passion shines so bright and so strong. Massive GO!

Rage club brought me on a journey where my relationship with anger changed significantly. Jacopo along with two other space holders guided me step by step in experiments where I discovered how anger is a neutral energy and super versatile. It can be used consciously to create grounding, presence, clarity, intimacy, boundaries, to name a few.

The space inspired me to be vulnerable, to go deeper in my experiences and to bring me to some of my edges. One of the layers it exposed is how I used to avoid anger. For instance out of fear for loud angry voices, for other men or how I had learned that anger is bad.

Jacopo held the space in a grounded, focussed and calm way which made it safe and inviting to be open hearted and gradually built the connection and intimacy with the other men over the four weeks. It was serious, fun and playful, all of that!
Very inspiring and such a necessity in the culture I live in.

Laura’s rage club was a game-changer for me. Before, I used to suppress my anger, burying it deep down. In our sessions, I realized the stories I had around anger, and ways in which I turned it inward toward myself. Throughout the four weeks, I learned to tap into my conscious anger, which brought clarity around what really matters to me and confidence to use my voice, set boundaries, and shape my world the way I want it. It was eye-opening and inspiring to be with a group of women who embrace their rage and use it as a force for creation. By the end of the four weeks, I walked away having reclaimed my voice, my power, and my anger.

I felt myself able to be held where I was at in a new way that I had not before. Laura held a space where women could simply be themselves where they were at and she kept meeting each of us there again and again. She also kept deepening in her own vulnerability as a spaceholder which transformed her into a clear, powerful woman navigating us with her impulses and aliveness to the very end, when the women stayed on another 30 minutes after the last session ended because they didn’t want to leave. You were and are legendary Laura. Thank you for saying yes and going. You inspire me.

I have attended Laura’s rage clubs, which are transformative and alive. In these spaces, I felt held by the depth of presence and connection, leaving me with greater clarity, empowerment and aliveness. I can also recommend 1-1 work with Laura, she supported me with tools to navigate my own heart, empowering me to hold space for younger parts of me and to go to my edges, supporting me to be with what is real and alive and bringing me closer to my true nature. Laura’s spaces invite realness and connection and I would recommend attending, if you want to come to know yourself deeply and meet others in this way.

Laura, I want to let you know how much it means to me that I got to know you and I am so grateful that you inspired me with Possibility Management Work and took me to Rage Club! The work has changed a lot in my conciousness about myself and I want to explore that further. Many times I noticed how you brought me to the edge of my box, making me question and I loved it! Thank you for sharing that with me!

Eu tinha a sensação de ter perdido o fogo e descobri que estava abafando por tantas vozes.

Percebi hoje que o Clube da Raiva facilitou eu enxergar que como eu me via era história. O que eu amo fazer e é importante para mim, eu posso e tenho capacidade para fazer. Não para agradar. Mas agir de acordo com o meu ser.

Ouvi algo da Gabriela que ficou ecoando em mim e hoje isso aterrissou mais - usar a espada é cortar as merdas para eu ver e estar com o que importa.

E assim posso ir além. Ando sentindo o medo de ir além do conhecido e também sinto alegria por estar nesse espaço. E é possível sentir os dois
