Eat & Engage
A lunchtime group focused on improving relationships with food through Intuitive Eating, offering a supportive space for those recovering from disordered eating.
Eat and Engage is an opportunity to use your lunch hour and improve one’s relationship with food and eating. We will work on concrete strategies to find greater peace with eating and to learn to trust your body with an introduction to Intuitive Eating. This group is ideal for people who have struggled with an eating disorder or disordered eating and want a supportive environment to eat in with others to re-discover the fun in eating. Please note this is not a weight loss or dieting support group, but rather a time to learn new ways of thinking about food and your health.
