Body Sovereignty Workshop (4hrs)

YOUR BODY/ YOUR STORY/ YOUR EXPERIENCE YOUR VOICE/ YOUR POWER

The most powerful force in the world is an embodied woman.  Unfortunately, there are a lot of forces working against women having deeply rooted, peaceful, and trustworthy relationships with their own flesh. These forces are cultural, governmental, sometimes parental, and always patriarchal. From a very young age we are being shown the many ways in which it’s not ok to look or be the way we are and quickly our “imperfections” become the focus of our existence.

This retreat is an invitation for us to explore closely our relationship to our bodies and begin to contemplate some questions:

What is our personal body story? 

What is the story we tell ourselves about our body and intimacy? 

What is the story we replay about our body and its ability, or disability?
