There are reasons for anger, indignation and frustration

Taking our anger out on others puts us on hold, closes doors and pushes others away. And often we end up in resignation, apathy and depression. We give up because we cannot direct our anger in a constructive place.

Often people close to us become targets of our anger, and often we end up scolding ourselves when we have scolded our loved ones.

This course can teach you how to use anger as a constructive force that can change the world for the better and help you succeed in your projects. Over five evenings, we will work to get to know the anger better, accept it and transform it into a precious guide.

In PART 1, we will focus on understanding and loving our own anger.

I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson;
to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy,
even so our anger controlled can be
transmitted into a power that can move the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Transform anger into a life force

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) known as the ‘Giraffe language’ contains a process that can turn anger into a force that can move the world. Anger transformation is one of several transformation processes in NVC.

In this course, we work with NVC as a tool to find new ways in old conflicts and develop more appreciation for the angry side in ourselves. Our individual conflict history plays a role, and it is often childhood experiences that shape our way of dealing with anger.

The power of anger can be used to create the life you want.

Prerequisites and enrollment

How to use the sliding scale

Our preference is to receive 180 EUR per person for this course.

We want to acknowledge that we have very different living conditions from country to country and from person to person. So you might live for example in Iceland where the parity rate indicates that 180 Euro in Denmark equals 230 Euro in Iceland. Or you might live in Hungary where the parity rate equals to 86 Euro.

We also want to acknowledge that we have huge differences from person to person. You might live in a so-called poor country and have access to abundant resources. Or you might live in a so-called rich country and struggle to pay your day-to-day expenses.

Please use the sliding scale with awareness of this.

If you give more than 180 EUR, together we can support another person to participate for less.
