A new Chicago social club lets you scream out all of your frustrations every Sunday night
Every Sunday at 7pm, at golden hour no less, a group of Chicagoans meets to practice breathing exercises, culminating with a collective yawp, a howl, bellow, caterwaul, yelp, or whoop along the waterfront. And, as you might imagine, life feels a bit lighter and freer afterward. Is it a quirky endeavor? Yes. Is this out-of-the-box thinking just the prescription you might need for today's stresses? Maybe. But what do you have to lose?
An initiative started by Manny Hernande, a breath-work coach, Scream Club Chicago is an outlet for many Chicagoans who are looking to relieve stress in a healthy way. Connecting with others in the outdoors, while gazing at beautiful Lake Michigan, can't hurt either. Hernande used social media to grow a network of screamers, and the weekly sessions are growing in reputation.
"What's bringing me back out here really is that there are things I'm ready to let go of that I finally have an outlet where I can get it out of my system," said participant Alexaner Ruvalcaba to CBS News Chicago.
Forget screaming into your pillow, alone in your apartment, or, gasp, holding everything inside, which we all know is a recipe for disaster. Instead, you can join neighbors, of all ages and backgrounds, and participate in a community activity that is meant to leave you feeling as relaxed as you would if you had just finished a yoga or meditation class.
"I think this is a good way for us to be able to, in a healthy way, release whatever we have going inside out into the void," said Hernandez to CBS News.
The best part? These weekly—loud—screaming sessions are offered free of charge. Now that's truly something to scream about.

Liverpool confirm signing of Arsenal striker target
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Will Wright, after beating Arsenal to the acquisition of the Salford City striker. Photo via On Monday morning, Liverpool confirmed the signing of Will Wright from Salford City, with the 17-year-old making a permanent transfer to the Merseyside club. Though Liverpool don't confirm Wright's contract length, given he's still under 18, the longest he could sign on for is three years – or until 2028. Arsenal were also in for the striker, even reaching an agreement with Salford City. But they never agreed personal terms with the player, and Liverpool did. Photo via Wright on Instagram In terms of why Wright chose Liverpool, reports have suggested the player preferred to stay in the north west, with Anfield significantly closer to his previous home in Salford than the Emirates Stadium in London. Yet there have also been suggestions the player preferred the sporting plan laid out for him by Liverpool. In spite of Arsenal's agreement with Salford, it seems they were never that close to convincing the player. Arsenal had planned to integrate Wright in their u21 side, and Liverpool intend to do the same. In fact, they've already given him his first u21 appearance in a goalless friendly draw with Hull City. Photo via Wright on Instagram Only recently turning 17, Wright had already made four competitive appearances for League Two Salford City prior to his departure. He was also heavily involved in senior pre-season this summer. There have been suggestions Arsenal could turn to Igor Tyjon of Blackburn Rovers as a potential alternative academy forward, but the Gunners have already seen one bid for the player turned down.
