M-Bodied® Nourishment: A Mindful Meal and Movement Series

Explore Eating and Moving Intuitively Using Relational Practices

Mondays, February 27 – April 3, 2023

12:00-1:30pm

In-person, Kirkwood/East Atlanta

When your dance with food and movement has become prescriptive instead of intuitive, you might tend to reach for nourishment and energy based on shoulds, musts, ought-to and have-to. How might this lead you to sweeten, stuff or restrict your core hungers?

What about exploring eating and moving in a less prescriptive, less lonesome way? We don’t experience support and learn steadiness alone; We become supported, steady and hungry for life by being able to lean into and push away from a Circle of Support. M-Bodied uses early relational Chi for Two® practices where you get to re-feed your younger parts and strengthen your older, wiser, nourishing self in an integrated, present, and even playful way.

Discover how eating and moving can naturally become more intuitive and sustainable from a body-based therapeutic approach.

Here’s the full menu:

🧠 Attachment and Nervous System Psychoeducation:

Using nervous system-informed visual aids along with self-reflective art and journaling, participants process and explore how food/exercise coping mechanisms can be reframed as reaches for connection. With this increased awareness of how one’s physiology craves healthy relational support, participants learn why and how body-based practices can be used as symbolic redos to restore safety and support that provide eventual self-regulation and a more intuitive approach to eating and moving.

👣 Trauma-sensitive Somatic Practices:

From womb-to-walking and beyond, when support and safety are more available – belly cues, digestion, movement and individuation all occur with more ease. Participants explore early relational and developmental movement practices, based on the multigenerational trauma healing method Chi for Two®, as symbolic relational redos. By focusing on restoring early attachment-oriented feeding/eating/connection developmental patterns using accessible practices for all bodies, the autonomic nervous system begins to sense safety, enabling a more rhythmic digestive pace. These core awareness practices allow participants to slowly discover unmet needs and nourish their deeper hungers.

🍎 Community Meal Support:

Bring a bag lunch and connect with others as we experience eating a meal with reverence and playfulness.
