RAGEher
A movement and embodiment experience for those who hold womanhood or femmeness in their body, story, or spirit to express rage.

How participants describe it
"It's like a cross between a girl's sleepover and a processing group, with a good dose of somatic play thrown in. You dance, scream, safely hit things, and then talk about it all afterwards with snacks. It's amazing."
"Movey dance scream therapy but in a hug?"
"An opportunity to be feral, and release with others. It was powerful, and crazy, and freeing."
"Like a rage room for women but with licensed therapists and coaches to guide you and community to hold you."
"It's a cathartic safe space (both emotionally and physically) for women to express their pent up feelings, usually anger but also grief, and find other like-minded women they can relate to."
"The energy builds slowly from warm and welcoming to safe shared expressions of rage and ends with a gathering time."

You are held by an experienced team
RAGEher is a connective, supportive space—on purpose, by design.
At the heart of every RAGEher experience is a team of Rage Doulas: a collective of Master’s-educated practitioners, somatic and dance therapists, coaches, and community healers rooted in ancestral, cultural, and embodied traditions. Their training spans a wide range of transformational modalities—from breathwork, Bioenergetics, and Internal Family Systems to plant medicine, Reiki, and energy work passed down through generations.
What unites them is a deep devotion to embodied healing, emotional expression, and the radical belief that women’s anger is not a problem to fix—but a power to reclaim.
RAGEher is not just an event; it’s a curated journey—born from, and continually shaped by, a process of collaboration, reflection, and refinement. Built on a foundation of psychology, neuroscience, and emotional intelligence, and sharpened by the lived insight of dozens of Ragelings and Doulas, every detail is intentional.
This is a space where rage is sacred.
Where bodies are honored.
Where you are not just witnessed—but every part of you is welcomed.
This is more than a moment—it’s a movement.

FAQs
The experience is modeled after a girls night out at the club. It starts with a series of activities that are similar to when entering a club, like showing your ticket or exchanging your shoes for a name tag (like a coat check). Then you enter the Tempest Tavern, where there is a slight awkwardness and anticipation as you meet new people. At the Fury Floor, you move your body like you might on a dance floor. And, in our view, all of the best girls nights out end at the diner over discussion about the night and fries, which is why RAGEher ends at the Livid Lounge.
In her 20s, our founder Krissie used to call any kind of party she threw or went to a rager. So it was only fitting that the idea for RAGEher popped into her head one day in the car.

A Fortune 500 executive flew from New York to Chicago after Googling “Rage Doula.”
So… if you’re a woman and you feel called to be here, you belong here.
RAGEher Queer is for those who identify with femme-ness, womanhood, or have been shaped by the emotional, cultural, or spiritual experience of being perceived or socialized as a woman—regardless of gender assigned at birth.
Can cis women attend RAGEher Queer?
Yes—if you are a cis woman who shows up as a true ally, you are welcome here.
RAGEher Queer centers queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks who hold femme or womanhood in their story. And we know that meaningful healing happens when solidarity is embodied, not just spoken.
If you are a cis woman who is committed to creating a space where queer people are not just included, but loved, honored, and celebrated in their full aliveness, you are invited to join for this specific experience.
This means:
- You affirm the right of queer people to exist, express, and take up space without fear.
- You are open to learning, unlearning, and being in community with care and humility.
- You are not here to center yourself, but to contribute to a space that holds the full spectrum of rage, joy, and liberation.
If that’s you—come. Love on your queer sisters. Help us co-create the world we deserve.
How does RAGEher Queer hold complexity and ensure this space remains centered on queer folks?
We know that identities are layered, and that people show up with different lived experiences, intentions, and ways of being in the room. That’s why we name from the beginning: this is a queer-centered space. That means:
- Queer people come first. Their needs, voices, and experiences take priority.
- Facilitators represent the Queer-identity and are trained to navigate power and identity dynamics. If cis allies are unintentionally taking up space, we will gently but clearly redirect.
- We cultivate a culture of consent, repair, and accountability. Perfection and cultivating the “perfect” container is unrealistic, but we do expect humility and a willingness to listen, reflect, and adjust.
Allyship here is not passive—it’s relational.
It looks like knowing when to step forward and when to step back. It means checking your impact, staying open to feedback, and rooting yourself in love—not fragility.
We believe true liberation happens in complexity, not outside of it. We are committed to holding that complexity with care, clarity, and integrity.
RAGEher Queer offers the same trusted and beloved format as RAGEher—with intentional shifts made to honor the unique lived experiences of queer participants.
You can expect the same powerful arc of emotional release, movement, ritual, and community care that RAGEher is known for. What’s different is the intentional curation of this space:
- Community questions are adapted to reflect queer realities.
Facilitators + Rage Doulas guide from lived queer experience.
Music selections may include queer anthems and sounds that speak directly to our stories.
Dialogue and connection are shaped by the understanding that our rage has been forged in identity, resistance, and resilience.
This is still RAGEher—but with queer hearts at the center.
Dress to move. Dress to dance. Dress as your inner wild woman. Dress to impress yourself and yourself alone, whatever that means to you.
You will be in a room with people expressing their emotions physically and vocally. Expect loud noises and lots of movement.
There will be a designated area with comfy places to rest, soft things to grab onto, earplugs/noise-canceling headphones, notebooks and pens for journaling or vicious scribbling.
We try to ensure all RAGEher events are accessible. We will make note if this is not the case in specific cities or venues.
Rage Doulas are vetted coaches, counselors, or therapists who are present to hold space for you during this experience and ensure well-being and safety. If you are triggered, feeling
overwhelmed, or simply would like some extra support at any time during RAGEher, please find one of them. Get to know our RAGE Doulas here.
Absolutely. We’ve been taught that it’s not okay for us, as women, to feel our anger—and many of us have suppressed and squashed it as a result. Whether or not you feel your rage, it’s probably there on some level. There’s righteous wrath behind the hard-earned coping mechanisms of every perfectionist, good girl, girlboss, and woman who ‘has it all together.’ This is a chance to peek behind the facade and explore anger for yourself, however it shows up for you.
Yes! Unexpressed anger is making women sick. These stats from Soraya Chemaly’s well-researched book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger, are scary and important.
“A whole spectrum of health issues is now clearly linked to how people feel and express anger, which directly affects our hormonal system, immunity against disease, heart function, muscles, and skeleton.”
● Women suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome at 4x the rate compared to men.
● Women are 3x more likely to develop disabling and painful autoimmune illnesses than men.
● Women with breast cancer who expressed their anger are 2x more likely to survive than
women who kept their anger to themselves.
At RAGEher, we believe:
- Our feelings are a gift. This includes ANGER!
- Feelings give us data about ourselves, but we often ignore that data because we’ve been taught to.
- When we feel angry about something, we are noticing an area where we yearn to make change, shift patterns and dynamics, and get satisfied.
- The full-body expression of anger as catharsis and release is a practice we can cultivate.
- It can be really uncomfortable to express our anger at first, BUT
- Our anger is inspiration and fuel when we let it course through our bodies in a safe, mindful process, by which reactive anger (which we tend to swallow…or express in ways that don’t serve us) becomes assertive anger that we can use.
- We can change the world with our rage.
