SUMMARY:Tending the Inner Fire: A Sacred Circle of Release and Healing for the Anger Within (In-Person Rage Circle)
DESCRIPTION:Are you finding yourself irritated\, angry\, enraged\, full of fury? So much in societal scripts and some spiritual spaces tell us these feelings are not safe\, are too much\, are not ok\, or even that we should silently carry them rather than outwardly express them in order to be holy or rewarded. And\, yet\, when we don’t tend to them\, they just get bigger\, stronger\, and more disruptive. They can begin to take a toll on our physical\, mental\, and spiritual wellbeing because they are not being acknowledged and expressed. \nA sacred circle of release\, sometimes referred to as a rage circle\, provides a safe and healing space to acknowledge what we are feeling. In this circle\, experienced Somatic Stress Release™ Practitioner Karen Bortvedt Estrada will explore both the scripting around this cluster of emotions\, as well as somatic practices that can help us to better tend to them – so they come out with less harm to ourselves and others. Between each round of the circle process\, we will go through the stress response cycle noticing activation\, coming into contact with the activation\, mobilizing the activation\, and participating in a deactivation/restoration practice. Each circle is different and adapted to the responses of participants and their bodies. We may mobilize through movement practices\, using everyday tools such as a towel\, the walls in our room\, or a pillow. We may use vocalization\, visualization\, or breath practices to help our bodies release and tend to all they are carrying. \nThe beauty of somatic work is that it is meant to meet us where we are at\, in the moment\, so the circle evolves and adapts based on the responses of our group needs. Walking away\, you will be able to better understand your patterns\, the scripts\, AND will have tools to tend to the irritation\, anger\, rage and fury as they arise so you can show up healthier and better resourced to the challenges of life. \nThe program will last 2 to 2.5 hours based on the needs of the group.  \nhttps://wellforthejourney.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Rage-Circle.mp4\n  \nDATE: Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 \nTIME: 1:00 – 3:30 PM \nCOST: $55 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.

Her newest passion is her role as a Somatic Stress Release™ Practitioner. After years of telling folks “Fibromyalgia feels like stress stuck in my body” this modality offered clear techniques to engage with the stress response cycle. It combines Karen’s deep intuitive ability to hold space\, with movement\, restoration techniques and other support which is truly magical. Karen’s greatest passion in this work so far is working with clients who have felt they reached limits with other modalities or the medical field\, those who are feeling stuck. The ability to collaborate with a holistic healing team is the dream – as Karen’s own experience with incorporating restorative yoga\, myofascial release\, different forms of therapy and Somatic Stress Release™ has been transformational. \nKaren is a Restorative Justice Circle Keeper\, Mindfulness Practitioner\, Certified in Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion in the workplace\, credentialed in Mindfulness and Neurodiversity\, and trained in Nonviolent Communication. Prior to this career shift\, she spent over a decade working cross-culturally\, both domestically and internationally in a variety of non-profit organizations. One common thread through her previous roles was holding space for others and collaborating to build networks of support. After seeing and experiencing how systems in our world are built often to disconnect us from ourselves\, Karen’s passion is supporting folks in returning to their own internal wisdom. \nKaren is always looking for new resources. In 2025\, Karen completed a micro-credential in Managing ADHD with Mindfulness and The Embody Lab’s Somatic Practitioner Mentorship Program\, she is also a part of the White Women Doing the Work Leadership Cohort (a part of her commitment to doing her own work). In 2024\, she completed trainings in the following areas: Level 1\, 2\, & 3 Somatic Stress Release\, Power-Conscious Nonviolent Communication\, and Neurodiversity-Informed Mindfulness.
