Mindful eating retreat day - Sat 23rd Jan in Brixton

[westmoquette]

Do you struggle to maintain a healthy diet or avoid unnecessary snacking?

Do you always stop when enough is enough?

Do you forget to appreciate lovely food when you have it?

I know I often have difficulty with these things.

Eating is so intimately linked to emotions, habits, and health that it can easily be the first place we notice something is out of balance.

Mindfulness teaches us to fully appreciate the constantly changing sensations and emotions around hunger, eating, and digestion. Mindful eating means selecting, preparing and eating food with awareness and attention resting in the present moment. It means being aware of the positive and nurturing qualities of the food you eat, and respecting your own inner wisdom. Like this we learn how to be at peace with our food.

On this retreat you we will discover:

- The different kinds of hunger we experience

- The body-felt feedback cues that can guide your decisions to begin and end eating

- How to engage all your senses in the act of eating so that eating can become both satisfying to you and nourishing for your body

- How to prepare and cook food mindfully

We will have access to a fully-equipped kitchen, and will all participate in preparing and cooking the food we will eat during the retreat. All the costs of the food are included in the price of the retreat.
