Love the Skin You're In! Transforming body image
A workshop for women
* Do you ever look in the mirror and wish you saw something different?
* Do you sometimes think a certain foods will make you "fat"?
* Is your exercise routine fun and pleasurable or stressful and draining.
As women, we are conditioned to think that our body needs to look a certain way. We accept societal standards about body image and act accordingly, blaming ourselves, adopting restrictive diets, or intense exercise regimes that often lead to injury.
This workshop is an opportunity to demystify some of these thought patterns.
During our time together we will:
* Explore how to honor the body’s natural rhythms and fluctuations.
* Learn how you can use whole, natural foods to stabilize your body and moods.
* Learn kinder ways of speaking to ourselves.
* Learn to accept and love the bodies we currently live in.
* Learn to discern between realistic health goals and unrealistic expectations.
We will use body awareness exercises, movement, journaling, sharing and writing to explore and go deeper inside.

A bit about Darshana:
"I've struggled with my own health.
As a teenage actress obsessed with my weight, I would eat nothing but grapefruits, melba toast, and canned tuna for days. And then suddenly Id find myself binging on entire boxes of Quaker Oat Squares, Skippy peanut butter from the jar, full bags of pretzels and boxes of Mike and Ikes candy. By age 25, my health began to weaken…" Read more about Darshana at http://www.fruitionhealth.com/counselors_darshana.html
