On Anger, Love and Women’s Power, Retreat at Holy Wisdom Monastery

Though women are conditioned to suppress anger, this emotion is a vital teacher, and points to what we care about so deeply. We explore what anger is, its dangers, its benefits, and how to relate to it skillfully with mindfulness and compassion.

Unshakeable Confidence illuminates the cultural conditioning that adversely affects nearly all women—in body, mind, and spirit. Its reframing of codependence, learned helplessness, and relationship addiction as “othering” is groundbreaking. And, most importantly, it gives all of us precise instructions for how to come back home to our essential, healthy, confident selves. Every woman needs to know and practice what’s in these pages.
