A primal scream, echoing across Puget Sound, marked a profound release for Amber Walcker and a dozen others in West Seattle. This cathartic outburst was just the beginning of a session designed to let frustrations dissipate into the air.
Through two subsequent group screams, each growing in intensity, Walcker found an outlet for the pain of recent job loss and the mounting stress of raising two young children. As her cries blended with the lapping water, a deep sense of calm enveloped her. "I had such a sense of feeling grounded. In that same moment, all your senses are heightened," Walcker explained. "From then on out, I was hooked."
