Sacred Rage, the Dark Goddess, and Why Anger Can Be Sacred:

In Season 1 Episode 6 of Logos, Jennifer Nelson shares a solo reflection on sacred rage, framing anger as a cleansing, transformative force rather than something to suppress or shame.

She connects this energy to the divine feminine, Kali, and the natural cycles of death and rebirth that show up in personal growth, spirituality, and everyday life.

This episode is about learning to recognize rage as information, especially when it points to broken boundaries, self-abandonment, or old conditioning.

Jennifer also shares how sacred rage has shown up in her own life, including in relation to her body, her astrology, and her current stage of perimenopause.
