We’re going to take a tender and sensitive look at our relationships with food and eating, and explore ideas around how to reduce distress, hold conflicted feelings, and nourish ourselves.
Nutritional Relationships
TransBareAll as an organisation is rooted in the principles of body positivity, sex and intimacy, and emotional well-being. So our next retreat is going to focus on our wellbeing and will explore “Nutritional relationships”
3rd – 5th November 2023
Hathersage, Derbyshire
Bookings go live at 7pm on Friday 8th September 2023
In this weekend we take a look at our relationships with food and nutrition. Often as trans people we have interesting relationships with food. As society often judges our bodies, and fat shaming is rife, we can struggle with body shame - despite our inclusive politics. Food is something we can control and we may resourcefully turn to food for solace, but not sticking to our rules can then promote anxiety. We’re going to take a tender and sensitive look at our relationships with food and eating, and explore ideas around how to reduce distress, hold conflicted feelings, and nourish ourselves.
