🧘‍♀️ Understanding Anger – A Trauma-Informed Approach

Anger is a foundational emotion that can both protect us and reveal where we are stuck.

This two-part online workshop, offered through the New York Insight Meditation Center, explores anger in its many expressions — from everyday irritation to deeper, trauma-based patterns — and helps participants discern which forms of anger can be engaged within meditation practice and which may require additional support.

Grounded in trauma-informed principles, the workshop provides clarity about how and when meditation is helpful, tools for working with low-risk anger, and guidance on next steps for ongoing support and care.

All experiential components are optional and the environment is held with safety and mindfulness at the center.

Online: Understanding Anger - A Trauma-Informed Approach (Two-Part Workshop) with Amma Thanasanti Saturdays, January 17th and 24th, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm

Amma Thanasanti asks “the question that won’t go away”: If a dharma teacher has authentic awakening, how could they still be able to cause so much harm?

This morning, Kat and Brian led us gently back to the ocean of awareness —
where breath slows, hearts synchronize, and belonging becomes palpable.

These Sunday meditations are simple, human, and alive —
each one a reminder that awakening happens in community.
