In a new viral trend, women are spending up to $8,000 on rage rituals that include screaming ceremonies and breaking objects.

Rage rituals are one of the latest trends circulating the internet, where women pay thousands of dollars to participate in screaming ceremonies and smash things.

Mia Banducci, best known for her online persona Mia Majikis a cybersecurity engineer turned self-proclaimed “intuwitch” who hosts ritual rage retreats for women so they can brag about deafening screams in the middle of the woods while banging sticks and other objects on the ground.

“It’s like, ‘Don’t be a bitch,’ or ‘Don’t be angry,’ or ‘Don’t be aggressive,’ or ‘Don’t defend yourself.’ “Don’t protect your integrity. » “Don’t tell anyone they don’t have consent to touch your body or speak to you in a certain way.” There are particular emotions accepted within the gender binary that we each need to feel. Men need to cry – and it’s so healthy for men to cry – and women need to be able to get angry,” Banducci said. USA today.

Banducci has hosted several of these ceremonies over the years, which have grown from small events among friends to overnight retreats. His latest temperament-fueled effort is scheduled for release this August in France, ranging from $6,500 – $8,000 in cost.

The “intuwitch” encourages ritual participants to think of situations where they have been wronged by shouting and driving sticks into the ground until their arms go numb.

Kimberly Helmus, a former regular at the ritual, told USA Today that she still remembers her first experience at one of Banducci’s retreats.

“There is no place where you can see women being able to be angry like that, without being condemned. “She’s just hormonal. She’s just unbalanced. She’s just crazy. She just has her period. She’s just, whatever. It was a place where you were, probably for the first time in a long, long time, if ever, able to scream out loud what you felt,” Helmus said.

However, Banducci isn’t the only designer with influence in the realm of rage rituals.

Jessica Ricchetti is another woman in this self-help space, organizing bonfire getaways and “magic works” to help her clients experience “sacred rage” in June.

Women on TikTok have weighed in on these offbeat retreats, writing that they “need” getaways like those offered by Banducci and Ricchetti.

One woman commented: “Why did I have an immediate visceral reaction and start crying,” while another wrote: “As a middle aged woman with even more rage I need this !! »

A famous medical professional, Dr. Arthur Janov, is credited with the birth of the cry therapy technique used by Banducci, Ricchetti, and other spiritual gurus.

Even if the target population of these ceremonies is receptive to how emotionally charged gutturals might alleviate some of the dissonance in their lives, THE Independent reports that “experts note that rage rituals probably won’t work for everyone.”

“When people do that and allow themselves to release their anger, their capacity for joy really increases. They are able to feel more happiness and pleasure, and they return home to their families with more gratitude, ease and peace,” Banducci told USA Today.
