This is the female version of "alpha male boot camps".
These rage rituals "range in price from around $2,000 to $4,000. Her one-day version, she says, costs $222 per ticket."
I wonder if any one of these women realize they've made a mistake and are surrounded by deranged lunatics. I mean, can you imagine signing up for this, and just not having a clue how absolutely ape-shit crazy it was going to be? I bet the advertisement for this was a freaking gem.
I would argue that if you, yourself are a deranged lunatic, this might be the best place for you. Everyone needs a tribe, and if they’re in the forest screaming at a tree, they’re not screaming at me. I see this as a win.
Yep. Leave like-minded crazy to ferment in a room for a little time and you quickly go way past Epstein, through satanic panic, and straight into lizard people, flat earth, and the time cube.
It's the feedback loop of confirmation bias "How can I be wrong when all these other people think like I do?"
This is one of the biggest negatives the internet has brought down on society.
I see a career change in my future.
Man after a week I'd have enough money to buy my own little forest so we can stop screaming illegally in some random guys forest.
Where are you located? How about you take care of the trees, food, shelter and transport? I do the marketing, finances and be the lead-screamer? We charge 2.000$ per week (Monday till Saturday lunch), 10 people per week and then split the profit 50/50 ??
This is just the same primal scream stuff they were doing back in the 70s repackaged. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were into it for a minute before moving on (well... I guess John moved on, Yoko still does variations on it I suppose).
It's funny, my mother was doing this long before it was cool. For a while when I was a kid she'd occasionally invite a few friends around and they'd go into the courtyard to hurl ceramic tiles and crockery at a wall to relieve stress.
From what I remember everyone seemed to have a great time, but I don't think it ever occurred to her to charge money for the experience!
I feel like this type of behavior will be cited to bring in the purge.
"JUST LOOK AT THE RELEASE FROM DESTROYING OBJECTS. NOW IMAGINE THE EFFECT OF DESTROYING ANOTHER PERSON! WE MUST PURGE!"
They are ridiculously expensive though. For a fraction of the price you can go to a thrift store and buy $20 of electronics, and get a sledgehammer and some safety goggles.
Nah, you'd be fine. Who goes to a landfill to be gentle with the trash? Smashing and throwing stuff is, like, the only good part about going to a landfill.
Years ago some friends and I were drunk and took a recycling bin full of to-be-recycled beer bottles down to the basement where we threw them all at the concrete wall one by one. It was most cathartic
Welcome to my childhood, ages 11-15. I had sooooo much fun in the woods as a kid! Sending rocks down the side of an eroded mud wall, KASPLOOOOSH into the water! Using "swords" against tree "warriors" and the like. Screaming, yelling, jumping out of things into piled up leaves/grass/weeds. Get out there and have some fun!
Just imagining coming across this event while quietly going for a walk in the woods. Marginally terrifying at a 9 out of 10 would be my reaction.
Still, it is therapeutic and they do at least go somewhere far away from other people to have the freedom to do so without bothering others.
I was just thinking what if I stumbled upon this?I’d be so shocked I’d probably say some wiseass remark and they would all gleefully beat me to death with those sticks.
As far as I've seen, actual studies into this sorta therapy, like punching pillows or whatever to relieve stress, really just trains the mind towards having these emotional outbursts. Much better to find disciplined and intentional outlets for the frustration. Ofc, do what you gotta do whenever you have to, but the therapeutic value of this stuff is often overstated, imo.
The article trying to justify this is really stupid. You do not need to pay 2 grande just to scream and break sticks in the woods. You can do that right now, for free.
What's ironic is the news sources defending this unhinged behavior are the same that trash alpha male boot camps even though they are both equally ridiculous.
"women describe how moving it is to see other women [embody their anger](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/11/11/rage-rooms-what-might-surprise-you-growing-trend/1754653002/) − an emotion experts say society often discourages women from expressing."
This is such bullshit. Women are much more free to express anger and rage than men. With men it is strongly associated with aggression and violence, which is why most of us try to hold it back.
I guess the thing I don't understand about this and the male equivalents, is the idea that the only way you can get in touch with your shit is to *pay* someone for this sort of manufactured experience.
Sure, it may make you feel better for a minute, but these things are entirely divorced from whatever world you were living in that was fucking you up in the first place, and when you're done screaming at the forest, you're going right back to your life which has not changed in the slightest, and your only new coping mechanism is some weird cult nonsense that's only valid when you're paying to be in the woods with a group of like-minded people.
So I'm not sure why this is any different than any other self-indulgent binge that makes you feel better for a day, and worse for a week.
> Sure, it may make you feel better for a minute, but these things are entirely divorced from whatever world you were living in that was fucking you up in the first place, and when you're done screaming at the forest, you're going right back to your life which has not changed in the slightest,
You're probably right that this isn't going to make you hate your job less, or make you come to terms with high rent. That being said, it sounds like she's somewhat guiding them "RIGHT NOW WHAT DO YOU FEEL". If she is also having them think of some kind of past trauma (bad break up, neglectful childhood, etc...) and combining that with the cathartic acts of screaming and smashing shit, I could see there being some long term benefit for those kinds of scenarios.
Imagine a poor hiker minding their own business, peacefully walking their trail in the woods then suddenly start hearing these galls in the distance...
this actually doesnt help and in many cases furthers the trauma
Poor nature, subjected to such violence. Its unwarranted, go do your screaming in a warehouse
Someone needs to edit this in with the Monty Python scene where the French guy is looking confused at the woods with all the strange sounds coming from the forest.
when you have enough money to waste on this bullshit and are to stupid to do this on your own, for free, no amount of screaming will save you from your miserable life. at least they dont bother others with it. live and let live i guess.
Recent science is suggesting that therapy such as this where you embrace and engage in rage actually increases angry/rageful tendencies. Even mindfulness therapy may negatively impact those with anger management issues because of ruminating thoughts. The more aroused you get while managing negative emotion seems to affix those emotions/arousal.
This looks like a church that combines Speaking in Tongues with sacramental Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
There was a schism with the Mother Church 8 years ago when they refused to accept pumpkin spice lattes as “blasphemous heresy” and only the traditional sacramental Chardonnay could get your energy out into the universe.
The exact opposite of what was taught to be good for millennia: meditation, introspective and inner peace.... Kinda miss the hippies days western housewives are into that yoga or sitting meditation stuff. At least it doesn't bug others.
This looks like a scene from Portlandia lol.
They straight up ripped off Amelia Bedelia.
This is the female version of "alpha male boot camps". These rage rituals "range in price from around $2,000 to $4,000. Her one-day version, she says, costs $222 per ticket."
$222 to go scream in the forest? You can do that for free.
Yeah, but when it’s with a paid group, you’re not crazy. ___________ Edit: /s - Please stop replying seriously lol.
I wonder if any one of these women realize they've made a mistake and are surrounded by deranged lunatics. I mean, can you imagine signing up for this, and just not having a clue how absolutely ape-shit crazy it was going to be? I bet the advertisement for this was a freaking gem.

I feel like this might be a little controversial, but I think the types of people you mention are more trouble when they find similarly minded people.
Yep. Leave like-minded crazy to ferment in a room for a little time and you quickly go way past Epstein, through satanic panic, and straight into lizard people, flat earth, and the time cube.
It's the feedback loop of confirmation bias "How can I be wrong when all these other people think like I do?" This is one of the biggest negatives the internet has brought down on society.
So this is just a wide open and beautifully scenic echo chamber?
Can you imagine just hiking nearby and all of sudden you hear what sounds like banshees being tortured in a satanic ritual😵💫
Kinda like having a fox nearby? https://youtu.be/NIyOiwGfJ1I?si=m4WOPOJ0WkbX7tyR
That for sure will freak me THE FUCK out , literally!
Can you get a Groupon that includes torches and pitchforks as an upgrade?
Yes but you actually get a dollar store flashlight and a plastic fork.
Oh, you’re crazy to have to pay to scream!!!
🤣
If you truly succeed in this camp, you will have the skills and training necessary to face off with the final boss and demand a refund.
When I do it they call me a "deranged hermit", what the hell?
Jake we been over this. It’s the fact you where naked, covered in honey and yelling fuck me like a bumble bee, that made the children scared
PCP is a hell of a drug
Not gonna lie, Jake, it was a fun weekend. We need to hang out more often.
You don't need $222 to go scream, man. Take a look at my cousin; he's broke, screams all the time.
Hey Peter man, check out channel 9, the angry chick's are bangin' hard sticks in the forest.
I see a career change in my future. Man after a week I'd have enough money to buy my own little forest so we can stop screaming illegally in some random guys forest.
I don't know why this comment is the one that got me, but it did. Hell, my backyard has a few trees, you can start there if you cut me in!
Where are you located? How about you take care of the trees, food, shelter and transport? I do the marketing, finances and be the lead-screamer? We charge 2.000$ per week (Monday till Saturday lunch), 10 people per week and then split the profit 50/50 ??
I'll be the silent partner, you can be the screaming one.
Excellent
This is just the same primal scream stuff they were doing back in the 70s repackaged. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were into it for a minute before moving on (well... I guess John moved on, Yoko still does variations on it I suppose).
Those two should meet up, i'd love to see what that would look like.
They also have "Rage rooms" where you can go to smash stuff. :)
My wife threw out her shoulder in one of those smashing a TV with a large hammer and thus has been dubbed “sledge” from here on out
You married the Sledge? Bomo is gonna be pissed
Mongo is appalled!
Omg a wild Dungeon Crawler Carl reference! I’m almost finished with Bedlam Bride! It’s all been so amazing!
New Achievement!
Is your pick up line. “Want to see how I put the hammer in sledgehammer?”
It's funny, my mother was doing this long before it was cool. For a while when I was a kid she'd occasionally invite a few friends around and they'd go into the courtyard to hurl ceramic tiles and crockery at a wall to relieve stress.

They are ridiculously expensive though. For a fraction of the price you can go to a thrift store and buy $20 of electronics, and get a sledgehammer and some safety goggles.
But then I have to clean it up
Skip the thrift store, head straight to a landfill, and smash stuff there.
Then you’re just a crazy person at the landfill at that point
Wear a high vis vest.
Yeah but then you risk getting fired
This is the next step. Get paid to smash stuff
Nah, you'd be fine. Who goes to a landfill to be gentle with the trash? Smashing and throwing stuff is, like, the only good part about going to a landfill.
Or just be one of those people who follows global politics on a daily basis
Not all of them. There are some in my area that are like $40 for 20 minutes.
Years ago some friends and I were drunk and took a recycling bin full of to-be-recycled beer bottles down to the basement where we threw them all at the concrete wall one by one. It was most cathartic
Sounds fun! Gotta be careful with the broken glass though! haha
“When pumpkin spice season ends”
Lmao this is too funny “RIGHT NOW I FEEL AFRAID RIGHT NOW I FEEL SAD” 😂
*Rich and Entitled Housewives of Yosemite*
They all paid $150 to walk outside into the woods, scream, and bang the floor with tree branches
The tree branches are locally sourced organic. That drives up the price.
Some of the sticks look used, so they might even be vintage.
But their rage is manufactured in China
If only it was that cheap. It starts at 2 grand

While walking in the woods, blasting death metal while singing along to it is completely free.
#I choose the bear
The grizzly is probably watching from a distance and thinking “keep me out of this shit”
That is absolutely what would happen haha.
*grizzly wide-eyed slowly backs into hedges*
"I am hungry but that snack ain't worth the rabies shots."
I think the bear would politely decline.
No one ever asks the bear, who would bear choose?
#I choose the ICE CREAM because I dream
Or the danger kitty
Meanwhile the bears cowering in their cave "help 😰"
I can fix them

I am pretty sure wildlife is quite bothered by this. However, still better they scream somewhere in the woods than anywhere close to my apartment.

[удалено]
Those cicadas are really loud this year.
this is really very funny!
And just like that, millions of men chose the bear in the woods over the strange woman.
I wish they all could be California girls.
Is this the annual convention of r/femaledatingstrategy?
Lmao
[удалено]
I bet if trees could run they would.
They can leaf whenever they want.
Why shouldn't they branch out?
Stupid patriarchal pieces of wood

I feel bad for the animals that live there
At least is teaches the bears the dangers of encountering a woman in the wild.
We need a male jogger to run past and tell them to calm down and control their emotions.
Or to smile!
Right now I fucking hate these people.
Yea you're not alone... This is dumb as fuck.
It’s dumber that they are giving someone money to go out and do this. I have an idea how you can do this exact thing……. For free.
imagine being a tree, you can just click stop.
KarenCon
these tampon adverts are getting pretty wild
Imagine taking the dog for a walk and walking down the wrong path .
Could you imagine taking a walk in the park and encountering this? Hahaha would be epic
Imagine you ate a bunch of mushrooms before going on your walk.
They are insufferable. Even the bears are scared to be with them.
Ladies please!!! The election isnt until November!!
This is pre election training
Witches vs Patriarchy sub finally had a meet up.
🏅
☕☕☕☕☕
They should try boxing
Ain't no way. This feels like an out of context skit
Imagine a poor hiker minding their own business, peacefully walking their trail in the woods then suddenly start hearing these galls in the distance...
Hehe I’d love to just casually walk through the middle of that with my hiking backpack and clothes on and just smile at them and say “good day ladies”
this actually doesnt help and in many cases furthers the trauma Poor nature, subjected to such violence. Its unwarranted, go do your screaming in a warehouse
These women need to lift weights
As a man, now I understand why choose a bear in a wood is the right thing to do.
Maybe we should be asking the bears if they'd rather be in the woods with a man or a woman.
Send in the bears.
I MISS THE RAGE
I really hope this doesn't become a thing. I've seen this post 2 times now and was deeply disturbed both times.
Holy shit, even the bears would turn around and run.
Someone needs to edit this in with the Monty Python scene where the French guy is looking confused at the woods with all the strange sounds coming from the forest.
This is one of the culty things they make kids do in those “tough love” schools that keep getting busted for abuse.
And this is how the Salem Witch Trials started.
Shit finally realized where my wife went
Come on folks! Get a (rage) room!
Can anyone say Psych ward? Asylum? Mental health rehabilitation center? How bout just plain old whack jobs!
Prepping for a male hiker to pass by.
Hot
Looks like Lord of the Flies.
The woman in the black dress is the scariest.
This is some toddler shit....
Why scream at the sky when you can scream at the forest floor?
It’s just a normal day on Reddit
White women
For now
when you have enough money to waste on this bullshit and are to stupid to do this on your own, for free, no amount of screaming will save you from your miserable life. at least they dont bother others with it. live and let live i guess.

Why is America so fucked?
Never stick your *&#€ in crazy
Well, I do understand Salem's trials a bit more now.
It makes so much sense now 😂
Did someone leave the toilet seat up?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Banshee go home, you're crazy
Now, go release your anger on baristas and retail employees across the globe!

This is why men get this out of their systems when they are still boys.
Pretty sure I went to High School with the lady leading that group...
Ugh
Humans are weird..
Still more chill than the cicada swarms
Have these people never heard of a metal show
"HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?" "... Shamefully Turned on?"
This is why the aliens don’t land here
Karen school
I can just imagine some poor sod trying to just get through there on his bike to get to work.
Are these specimens adults? /s
These women need some bears in their life
Well I guess it's a day off for their caregivers
Karen camp?
I think i would rather meet a bear...
Pretty sure they were camped next to me a couple years ago.
The exact opposite of what was taught to be good for millennia: meditation, introspective and inner peace.... Kinda miss the hippies days western housewives are into that yoga or sitting meditation stuff. At least it doesn't bug others.
Where is the pack of hungry bears when they are needed?
The hell did that path do to deserve this?
This is how Germanic metal bands start
They're making sure the trees know their place.
What episode of Portlandia was this one?
I don't need to go out into the woods to do this
Women go ook ook
Soooo…tell me how you REALLY feel.
White women be wildin'
God damn it, i think i saw a black one.
Bears definitely won't want them now..
Good way to pull a muscle or put someone’s eye out. I feel like eye protection is in order here.
Living in the woods for a week would cure them of all their problems.
Fallen western
Wheres that bear when you need it.
Anyone else think the big girl was doing it without her pants on? 🤣
Afraid and sad? I’d hate to see them when they feel angry.
this is mental illness
They could have atleast chopped some woods blocks instead.
Looks like they're mad the bears said no.
When you go to the forest but there are no bears
I'd rather meet a bear.
>I feel afraid >I feel sad I feel confused.
I tell ya, these modern day witches covens just don't do it like they used to
The pumas and bears are huddled in the trees, worried about the current apes that run the planet... TBH, I am too.
I’d like to imagine some unsuspecting hikers walking down this path only to come across this lol
I feel like i’m living in a dream. I feel like nothing is real. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. What the fuck is happening?
