Making Peace With Your Body – Gratitude

A Workshop for Women

As we enter the holiday season, a time for reflection and thanksgiving, this 2-hour workshop focuses on cultivating gratitude for our bodies. Many of us have spent years being unkind to our bodies—criticizing, numbing with substances, neglecting sleep, or pushing too hard. This workshop provides an opportunity to begin making peace with our bodies by embracing gratitude as a powerful tool for healing.

Through Body Meditation (very slow, mindful movement inspired by Hanna Somatics), breath practices, reflective journaling, and sacred sharing, we’ll explore how gratitude can transform our relationship with our bodies from one of judgment to one of compassion and care. Drawing from the themes in Reclaiming Beauty by Heidi Andersen, we will reflect on the ways our bodies serve us daily and how we can honor them with love, respect, and gratitude.

To make this experience more personal and supportive, feel free to bring a childhood photo, a grounding stone or crystal, sacred items, a journal, your favorite pillow or blanket, a cozy stuffed animal, or anything else that adds to your comfort.

This workshop offers a gentle introduction to the upcoming 5-week immersion, Making Peace With Your Body: Journeying Back to Your Sacred Self, beginning on Thursday, January 9th, 2025. In a supportive and intimate group of 8 women, we will explore and question society’s standards of outer beauty versus inner beauty, challenge conventional views of productivity and success, and embrace the freedom to rest and restore without guilt. 

I am honored to be walking this path with you! ❤️ Dana
