What are you really hungry for?

By becoming aware of how we nourish ourselves, we will unpack layers of beliefs as they manifest our eating choices.  This is not just about the food we eat but also what we digest in the world at large.

Psycho-Education, Meditation, Journaling, Reflection, Art Work and Discussion will be part of each class.

Spoiler alert, it’s not uncommon for participants to let go of unneeded pounds.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Examine deep beliefs that inform our eating choices
  • Unpack our current style of “nourishment”
  • Apply principles of effective nourishment
  • Use metaphors to see how we digest life (or don’t)
  • Use these approaches in coaching sessions

Mindful Eating, Mindful Life is all about nourishment, energy, savoring and throwing away what doesn’t work for us in life. The course unfolds deep mindfulness about moments in time, decisions, weighing options, filling the void and emptying way beyond food.

What Students Are Saying

I was reluctant to take this course [Mindful Eating: Mindful Life] as I have struggled with eating disorders since my teens. I didn’t want yet another “eating plan” that would add more clutter to my already busy thoughts about food. I honestly only took the class because it was required for PCC and I came in thinking that maybe I could learn something to help my clients. But honestly, I learned a ton about myself, my thoughts about food and eating, as well as many tools and ideas to use with my clients.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

The Mindfulness Coaching School stands in solidarity with our Black, Latino and Indigenous communities.

The challenge of these days requires us to explore our own way of being as educators and as a community. We re-commit ourselves to learning, teaching and acting as more intentional allies.

To qualify for CCEs, CEUs and/or Class Credits toward Credentialing
You MUST attend 80% of the required, live class contact hours and complete a Class Evaluation Questionnaire in order to receive credit and/or CCEs or CEUs for the class.
