This is a 4-week introductory program designed to help you take a critical look at your relationship to your body, food, and exercise, and begin to unlearn the harmful messages of Diet Culture. It will start you off on your journey to body liberation and self love, giving you skills to appreciate food again, shut up that negative voice in your head, appreciate your body, and move for joy (rather than to “lose weight”). Not only that, but you will learn some of the diet myths that we all have been brainwashed by (spoiler alert: BMI is a complete sham!) Week 1: Our Relationship with our Bodies We’ll talk about our body histories, how our culture teaches us a body “ideal”, and where that negative voice (the “inner critic”) comes from. I’ll teach you a simple way to silence that inner critic and guide you through a short meditation to help you better appreciate your body. Week 2: Our Relationship with Food We’ll talk about our personal histories with food, the diet industry, and the moralizing of certain foods. Then I’ll introduce you to the practice of mindful eating. Week 3: Our Relationship with Fitness We’ll talk about the fitness industry and our society’s obsession with exercise. I’ll discuss the RADICAL idea of movement for pleasure and maybe we’ll have a dance party! Week 4: Eating Disorders vs Disordered Eating I'll talk about the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating and give a brief introduction of the most common eating disorders and their symptoms. I’ll also talk about my own healing journey and describe what that can look like for others. $20 for the whole month (but no one will be turned away for lack of funds) Max capacity is 10 participants Register at allbodiesgoodbodies@gmail.com

The community is invited to come out Tuesday, May 28, 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers to show support for a climate emergency declaration and action on climate change in Greater Sudbury. On February 1, 2019, local youth with Fridays for Future called on Greater Sudbury Council to declare a climate emergency.  Moved to act, two local grandmothers, Dr. Jane Cox and Mrs. Carole Lavallée, began a climate action petition.  Over 2000 residents from every Ward and every area of Greater Sudbury have signed this petition, which will be presented to Council at the May 28 Council meeting. Councillors will vote on a motion to declare a climate emergency and make action on climate change a priority. Attendees should plan to be there for 5:50pm.  The vote should be done by 7:00pm.
