April Retreat – Mindful Eating: Rediscovering a Joyful Relationship with Food
The relationship we develop with food reflects our attitudes towards ourselves as well as our environment and life in general. The contemplative practice of Mindful Eating leads to an awareness of our habits, thoughts, emotions, and motivations related to the act of eating. It also influences the many other ways we behave and show up in the world.
Mindful Eating does not focus on restrictions or weight. Neither does it impose rules. Instead, it offers you exploratory processes to develop awareness about food consumption through respecting and listening deeply to our inner wisdom.
Like all mindfulness-based approaches, the intention is to help us find balance in our lives, and as such, become more kind and compassionate with ourselves and others.
