Healing Body Shame


Our bodies are also the depository for shame, pain, and our fears of not-enoughness.

Shame prevents us from fully enjoying and celebrating our bodies because we are burdened and repressed by the “shoulds” of our lives.

In this course, we will create a potent, supportive container to explore and transform those private burdens of shame that we all carry. We will guide you toward a less shame-laden way of living through various modalities like breathwork, meditation, movement, journaling, visualization, open-hearted sharing, and self-loving.

Creating an understanding of how shame functions in our familial, personal, relational, and collective lives keep us from our full power and pleasure. Participants develop practices of embodiment and compassion to work with shame to experience how embracing vulnerability allows us to bring shame into the light of honor where it cannot survive and build resilience and courage

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We are working to include more diverse groups of people and make sure that all workshops are developed and presented in a way the creates a safe container for people. These will include open to all workshops and affinity space for groups such as BIPOC or Gender Queer/Transfolx.

We are working to provide workshop for participants with equity in gender and gender intentify in open for all and affinity spaces depending on the preferance and comfort level of the particpant. This couples with our efforts to reduce in equity in workshop offerings, board and staff make up and blend of participants.

We plan to work towards these goals with the overacrching goal of maintaining quality educational experiences for all.

We have a new position of Director of Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion, the newly hired director will work with our JEDI committee to examine practices in, marketing, workshop developement and board and staff diversity. There is a strong committement from the board to support these efforts.

We have gone from a staff of all white males to include a women, a nonbinary person and a person of color. Our Board has gone from mostly white males to a equal mix including people of color, women, nonbinary and trans folx.
