What is a Body Story?
It’s the story of your body as you experience it.
It is the story about what it means to live in your body.
Your body has been with you through everything. Every breath you’ve taken…every beat of your heart. It has survived your scrutiny, your shame.
It has been impacted by the oppressive ideas that have been fed to you. It has changed with your relationships, your loves, your fears, and your 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 made invisible, even to you, by the ideas and prescriptions that are upheld by a culture of domination.
Why?
Because your truth is powerful enough to change us and our world.
“I am not the story you made me.
You are note the story they made of you.
We are not the story they made of us.
Take the stories back. Restory.”
~Lidia Yuknavitch

This workshop is an invitation to delve beyond the action plan for your body and into the roots of your coping.
