Eating Disorders and Body Love: The Things Mama Didn't Tell You

Doors 5:00 pm // Workshop 5:30-7:30 pm

There are things our mothers did not get a chance to teach us. Whatever existing or non-existing relationship we may have had with our mothers, this workshop is an opportunity to learn about the the things our caregivers kept silent or never had the chance to talk to us about while growing up. This workshop will discuss the connection historical trauma has with eating disorders and the way colonialism has impacted the way people of color and indigenous people view their bodies. This workshop comes from the perspective of a woman of color and invited people of all backgrounds to participate.
