NEW! Introduction to Mindful Eating
This five week course is designed to introduce participants to the ideas, principles
and practices of Mindful Eating. Through hands-on exercises, meditation and
lectures, participants will learn about and experience Mindful Eating first hand.
Mindful Eating is a non-diet approach to healthy eating. It isn’t about what foods to
eat; it is about how to eat. This shift in perspective fosters an awareness of hunger
and what the body wants and needs. By promoting body acceptance through a
compassionate, non-judgmental approach to self-image, Mindful Eating using
understanding and encouragement to create the environment for permanent,
healthy eating modifications. Diets don’t work—the vast majority of people who
follow fad diets regain even more weight once they discontinue the diet. This course
is designed to shift thinking away from diets to an awareness of our bodies, our
environment and our food rules.
