Using mindfulness and yoga as the basic tools, participants will be led through the five steps to mindful eating, loving their bodies, and living with joy, as outlined in the book Savor Every Bite:
- Step One: Slow Down and Explore Your Senses
- Step Two: Soothe (Instead of Eat) Your Emotions
- Step Three: Surrender Limiting Thoughts
- Step Four: Smile and Create Your Happiness
- Step Five: Savor Every Moment
Through discussion and periods of mindful eating, meditation, and mindful movement, we learn how to listen to the wisdom of the body and the heart to guide our actions and deepen our relationship with ourselves. Through journaling and reflecting with fellow participants, we learn the power of taking this healing journey together.
This retreat is accessible to everyone and helpful for anyone who wants a more respectful, loving relationship with food and their bodies. Beginners and experienced practitioners welcome.
