About this Event
What if your New Year’s resolution wasn’t about losing weight, but about losing the shame around food and body image?
This 60-minute workshop challenges the cycle of diet culture by offering a compassionate and empowering approach to food and body image. Instead of focusing on restrictive New Year’s resolutions, attendees will explore the deeper values, messages, and societal pressures shaping their beliefs about food and self-worth.
Through a guided values clarification exercise, participants will uncover the cultural narratives they’ve internalized and learn how to separate their identity from diet culture’s influence. In a supportive and judgment-free environment, you’ll develop practical tools to:
✨ Foster a more mindful and compassionate relationship with food
✨ Honor your nutritional needs without guilt or shame
✨ Build self-acceptance based on personal values, not societal expectations
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to redefine their relationship with food and take a holistic approach to self-care in the new year.
Who Should Attend
✨ Adults 18+ ready to challenge diet culture
✨ Those seeking a peaceful, empowering mindset around food
✨ Anyone wanting to reconnect with their body and values
What’s Included
✨ Values clarification cards and art supplies for interactive exercises
✨ Tools and strategies to help you thrive beyond the workshop
✨ Media and literature on body neutrality and self-compassion
