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.

Sat 23rd Jan at the Art Noveau cafe in Brixton

Cost ?55 (?45 conc)

  The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred. It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany. It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong. The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else. Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start. There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work. But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

  Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

  Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know). But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon. What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

  @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances). It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
