Event Details

Discover evidence-based practices that reduce stress around eating, strengthen body awareness, and support a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food guided by internal cues rather than external pressures.

Mindful Eating focuses on paying full attention to the experience of eating, noticing physical hunger and fullness cues without judgement. It encourages using all your senses to enjoy the colors, smells, textures, and flavors of your food and understand your body’s signals. It also involves removing distractions: turn off screens, put down phones, and avoid working while eating. Intuitive Eating is a non-dieting mind-body approach that focuses on trusting internal physical cues, making peace with all foods, and rejecting food guilt.

Join us for a 90-minute experiential and interactive exploration of Mindful Eating and Intuitive Eating. Through guided mindfulness practices, self-reflection, and practical exercises, you will learn how to reconnect with your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, reduce emotional and stress-related eating, and develop a more compassionate relationship with food.

Grounded in research, these complementary approaches can support greater self-awareness, improved well-being, and a more peaceful, sustainable way of nourishing yourself. Research suggests that mindful and intuitive eating are associated with reduced emotional eating, improved body image, greater self-compassion, and enhanced overall well-being.

Please wear comfortable clothing for gentle mindful movement and meditation and bring your favorite journal; paper will also be available for those who need it.
