Food & Body Freedom with Abby Doyle

As the new year kicks off, there is this collective force of new beginnings, regiemes and 'new year, new me'. If you look at nature at this time, everything is still and inward. Nourishing. We are nature and we are a part of that energy. However its at this time of year we can often push against ourselves and not listen to that call to go inward and for deep rest and nourishment. 

We wanted to invite Abby Doyle to host a guest facilitator workshop this month, to layer in another practice of strengthening your intuition and creating a dialogue with your body through the practice of eating intuitively. Especially in a time when diet culture inparticular is at its loudest, calling us to restrict and cut out, often disconnecting us with what we need in order to thrive. Especially at a time of year that generally calls for warm nourishing foods with a higher calorie intake. When we learn to work with our bodies, not against them we can learn how to harness and optimise our energy. Creating the path of least resistance in handpicking our lives.

In this workshop we will cover:

• Introduction (incl. deep breaths and a moment of stillness to ground)
•  Brief discussion of importance of the topic/learning (especially in Jan)
• The effects of diet culture/societal conditioning on how we treat our bodies' after New Year- 
• Journal prompts and reflection
• What eating mindfully & intuitively is and the shift in mindset around it
• Short meditation to connect to body and reflect on current relationship/beliefs around food
• Mindful eating practice (participants will need a small piece of food such as a raisin/grape/wrapped chocolate)
• Tangible action steps to bring into daily life
• Questions/comments
