Is FYS For Me?

Do you want to challenge yourself? your assumptions, your self-judgements?

Do you want to explore the relationship between your eating and your emotions?

Do you want to examine the expectations of women in our society?

Do you find it hard to find people who talk about these issues?

Is what you're doing now working for you? Are you open to change?

Do you want to take a risk?

This workshop is not about how to lose weight or find the right diet.
It is about examining our beliefs and behaviors around food and our bodies.
It is about appreciating all facets of ourselves and celebrating the bodies
we have.

Examining our patterns and challenging our preconceptions can bring up powerful emotions. In acknowledgment of this we require all participants to have a therapist or equivalent support system outside the group.
