Conscious Eating Course: Women, Food and Power

This is a unique, bold and life-transforming 4-session program for any woman desiring positive changes in her relationship to food, eating and body image. This course is designed to support women where many of us get caught-- in judgments of ourselves and our bodies, and in controlling our relationship to food, to nourishment. Our struggle is not with controlling how much food we eat or monitoring the size of our bodies, but for our own power—power gained through accepting aspects of ourselves that have been silenced, threatened or devalued. This program is designed to go to the emotional root of patterns with food and body image and to give women the critical analysis, tools and experiential practices to break free of the prison of "not enough". You will:

• Tune in to your body's true hunger signals - learn Conscious Eating techniques that allow you to feel empowered instead of anxious around food;
• Develop greater awareness of the deeper desires underlying your relationship to food and your body - what it is you really need in place of reaching for, or denying yourself, food
• Understand more about where your relationship to eating and body image originates- get a sense of the bigger picture;
• Explore essential strategies to shift from judgment about what you eat/ what your body looks like to self-acceptance and confidence.

 

Session Themes include:

• Body Image: The Courage for Self-Acceptance
• Emotional Literacy: The Path to Connection
• Conscious Eating: Taking in Nourishment
• Family History: Messages from the Past
• Lifestyle Management: Living in Balance
• Spirituality: Embracing the Feminine
