Listen to
My Interviews of Various Experts on
Reclaiming The Body’s Wisdom” recorded and broadcast on
Voice America’s 7thWave Network in the Fall of 2006.
We can't live without our body; we love it and we hate it.
We worry excessively about every pound we gain, every wrinkle we get or we give in uncontrollably to eating or other addictive binges.
This hunger or denial of hunger is the reason for the dramatic increase in obesity in North America and also the reason for yet another weight loss book.
Most significantly, it is a symptom of our inability to honor the body, give our body its due as living, breathing wisdom that needs to be reclaimed as expression of spirit.
Join us on our journey to Reclaim the Body's Wisdom!
Learn how to tap into the wisdom of your own body:
-how to reprogram your beliefs at the cellular level so that you can have joyful, fulfilling lives;
how to manage your hunger and resistance to your body through movement, dance, music, voice and laughter;
how to return your body and mind to fluid movement by embracing your own destiny as a “moving intelligence”;
how to take charge of your life by encountering and understanding your own death;
how to turn on your body’s self-healing mechanism through holistic bodywork therapies and more….

Are you tired of dieting?
Are you sick of wasting your precious time counting fat grams and calories?
Are you weary of looking in the mirror and hating your body?
If so, it is time to go beneath the obsession about counting calories and losing weight, and reclaim your sacredness, your right to your own voice and your ability to make your own choices. When you can do this with the most fundamental issue of food and body, you will be free from this obsession that keeps you from your true self.
Beyond Hunger groups and workshops are for people who want to release themselves from the struggle with food and weight in whatever form that takes: either overeating, under eating, or
obsessing. This group and workshop offer a non-diet approach that explores the emotional,
physical, and spiritual issues that lie at the core of the struggles with food and weight.
Through lecture and experiential exercises you
will learn to:
* develop compassion for your self and your eating/body issues
* discover the differences between your emotional and physical hunger
* understand the underlying emotional reasons and learn how to nurture yourself in ways other than overeating, under eating, or obsessing about food and weight
* transform body shame and hatred into respect and love for your body
* deepen your connection with your inner voice and spiritual self
