Reclaiming our bodies and our inner selves.

This workshop aims to help participants reclaim a sense of body pride, as well as learn to lovingly embrace their authentic selves. Presented as a down-to-earth conversation, participants will first explore current feelings of shame, self-criticism, and the need to look "perfect." In working to undo these negative thoughts and self-beliefs, a new framework and exercises will be introduced that facilitate the idea of embracing the concept of self-love.

This workshop is for you, whether you struggle to fit society’s “beauty ideal, or whether you struggle with an eating disorder, poor self-esteem or anxiety related to body image. Providing hands-on exercises and talking from a more body positive, sex positive view, licensed mental health therapist, Mandy Traut will promote the concept of self-love, self-acceptance, increased self-esteem, and greater self-worth.

Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle and be prepared to participate in the non-sexual experiential exercises in the earlier parts of the workshop.

All sexual orientations, genders, and relationship dynamics welcome.

When: 7PM to 9PM
Cost at the door: $25,
