We all have a story.

Your body has its own story and it deserves to be told and heard.

By you and for you.

Body stories are more commonly told about us, or are framed for us, by dominant culture, family members, medical systems, media and more.

What is a Body Story?

It’s a lot like it sounds; it’s the story of your body as you experience it. It is the story about what it has meant to live in your body.

Our bodies have been with us through everything we’ve experienced in our lives. Every breath we’ve taken…every beat of our heart. It has survived our scrutiny, our shame. It has been impacted by the oppressive ideas that have been fed to us. It has changed with our relationships, our loves, our fears and our struggle. It has survived living in a culture that encourages many to act violently upon their bodies in order to try to fit into a narrowly defined standard of acceptance. It has underscored your very perception of what it means to be you…and to be alive.

And the real story is often invisibilized, even to us, by the ideas that are upheld by dominant culture. Why? Our truth is powerful enough to change us and our world.

Join us for a three-day online retreat experience. Create the time and space to be with yourself, explore and learn at your own pace and in community.

This retreat is an invitation to dig in deeper, to delve beyond the action plan for your body and into the roots of your coping, and hear stories that expand your understanding of your own narrative. Here we will work towards building trust where there has been mostly blame and a well of deficiency.
