[Formerly Nurturing Wholeness] Anti-fat bias, sizeism, and diet culture are all forms of body-based oppression that continue to thrive under colonialism. Inheriting this form of trauma can feel inescapable and breaking the cycles of body and food shame within our families can feel overwhelming.
This 6-week virtual series balances unlearning colonialist ways of relating to food and bodies with decolonial skill building, and community connection. Informed by somatic nonviolence, embodied mindfulness, and polyvagal theory, this series is a place for BIPOC to compassionately interrogate beliefs and practices that do and don't serve our relationships to food and bodies.
