ON ANGER & POLITICAL WEIGHT - a somatic workshop on expression, care, and collective responsibility (postponed to - tbd)

  • Basel, Switzerland (map)

What is this about?

This workshop invites a grounded, embodied exploration of anger in times of political and social intensity. Drawing on somatic practices, we will listen to how anger lives in the body and how it has been shaped by our histories, cultures, and relationships. Through guided movement, voice, reflection, and collective practice, we create space to engage anger not as something to fear or suppress, but as a vital force connected to care, boundaries, and collective responsibility.

A somatic workshop on expression, care, and collective responsibility

In our global political reality, there are many reasons to feel angry. Anger arises in response to injustice, silencing, exclusion, and loss. It is a deeply relational and political emotion - one that signals when something matters and when a boundary has been crossed.

Yet many of us have learned not to show anger. Out of fear, social norms, or lack of space, we may suppress it, turn it inward, or feel overwhelmed by it. And still, anger is vital. When given safer conditions, it can connect us to underlying emotions such as grief, fear, and care, and help release accumulated inner weight.

Anger holds both creative and destructive potential. Rather than judging it as good or bad, this workshop invites a different question: How do we relate to anger, and how has this relationship been shaped by our bodies, histories, and political worlds?

Through a somatic approach, we will explore anger as it lives in the body - through movement, breath, sensing, voice, and reflection. Together we will look at how we learned to express (or suppress) anger, what patterns we rely on today, and what other ways of meeting and expressing anger might be possible.

This workshop includes individual and collective practices, group exchange, and time for rest and integration. No prior experience with somatic work is required. Care, consent, and choice are central to the space we will create together.

Who is it for?

This workshop is for artists, activists, students, educators, facilitators, and anyone who feels the political weight of our times in their body - or who is curious to explore anger as an embodied, relational, and political emotion.

Price and its explanation:

I would like to make this workshop accessible to lower incomers and in order to do that I have created a sliding scale so the higher incomers can support the lower incomers.

Moreover, my needs lay in having my energy and work I put into organizing and facilitating my events valued, along my needs for sustainability acknowledged.

Sliding Scale: 50chf - 200chf
