Embodied Self-Compassion and Body-Positive Practice

Do you want to feel happier, more at home, more content, or more free in your body?

Does body-judgment or body-shame sometimes get in the way of living your life or doing what you want to do in the world?

Do you want tools and practices for being kinder and more compassionate to your body?

Join us for Befriending Our Bodies to practice being kinder, more compassionate, and more loving to your body. Using movement, meditation, somatic practices, and self-reflection as tools, we will cultivate a kinder, more compassionate, more open-hearted and supportive relationship with our human bodies, in whatever size, shape, form, ability, race, age, gender, or other manifestation they show up in.

If you’ve ever struggled with how to befriend, love, or even accept your physical body, or how to examine and reprogram old messages, narratives, and patterns around your body that are getting in the way of joy, resilience, and liberation, come practice with us. Learn to feel more fully into your own experience of embodiment, and find expansiveness, contentment, and freedom by cultivating body love, body satisfaction, and joy in embodiment.
