Through mindfulness practices we will become more aware of our bodies, hearts, and minds. Learning through our senses, we will touch in on our curious and playful nature as we investigate our responses to food and our inner cues to hunger and satisfaction. Learning the art of letting go of self-critical judgments, we begin to experience more balance, choice, and wisdom—enhancing our capacity to transform our whole relationship with food and the quality of our lives. During our time together, we will become familiar with the 7-Hungers, our eating behaviors, and the how to work with our food cravings.
