“The body is not an apology. It is not something to be fixed. It is not a flaw. It is a miracle.” — Sonya Renee Taylor
Why This Workshop
Many of us carry complicated relationships with our bodies — struggling with trust, acceptance, or old patterns that take up more emotional space than we’d like. What can feel like a private struggle doesn’t have to stay that way. This workshop offers a safe, restorative space to begin exploring body image with compassion and community. All bodies welcome.
What We’ll Do Together
This workshop introduces the restorative circle process, a respectful way of listening and sharing. Together we’ll explore the Eight Principles of Body Image Recovery through:
A grounding practice to arrive and settle
Reflection and journaling prompts
1–2 gentle experiential activities (breath, movement, partner reflection)
Group discussion and closing circle
You’ll leave with:A felt sense of safety talking about body image in community
One or two principles that resonate with you
An option to continue in our Body Image Recovery Support Group
