About the Workshops

Workshops have two basic formats:

  small or large groups

10 Week Workshops

2 Facilitators lead discussions, experiential exercises, and written exercises. The focus of the workshops is discussion and examination of personal experiences, attitudes, and insights.

We may include role plays of social situations, critical analysis of media images and messages, and exploration of our creative process with games and art supplies.

Topics will include:

• our perceptions of our bodies
• our relationship to food and eating
• media literacy
• fat phobia
• size acceptance
• society's expectations of women
• stereotypes
• perfectionism
• myths surrounding the ideal body
• alternative responses to the world around us
• appreciating all facets of ourselves
• the joy of connecting to our bodies and our appetites

The workshops are structured in a 10-week format, meeting once a week for 2 1/2 hours with a short break.

The fee is $350.00 ($35.00 per week) payable in 2 installments.
