Our events bring together nutrition, food and behaviour experts along with YOU- the expert on your own body- to learn and practice mindful & intuitive eating, and improve body image.
If you are curious about how intuitive eating can improve your health and happiness and are looking for a supportive environment to learn and practice concrete, hands-on skills, then look no further.
We meet for intimate & personalized discussions about food & nutrition, body acceptance, learn and practice cooking techniques and much more, all with a non-diet twist.
These events will cover a wide range of topics from getting in touch with your hunger and satiety cues to working on the process of self-acceptance. They also includes cooking demonstrations and/or a tasting component by a chef! Importantly, we want you to get the most out of the experience as possible, so we will personalize and update session content and topics as we go, in order to explore the areas that you are most interested in learning.

What to Expect
A supportive, non-judgemental environment for chatting and pondering over everything intuitive eating.
The concepts and philosophies of intuitive eating are based on the original book Intuitive Eating. We will explore, both in the group and as homework, exercises from the accompanying workbook, The Intuitive Eating Workbook. We will be working through the principles of intuitive eating, and of course, you can expect personalized discussions based on your questions and areas on which you would like focus.
A bright open kitchen from which to learn some chefy tricks.
Chef Jonah will be hosting cooking demonstrations most sessions. You can expect interesting suggestions on how to cook tasty food as well as useful tips to save time and improve your cooking skills. If you have any food allergies or intolerances, we will be happy to accommodate. Our kitchen space is very generous so everyone can practice what Chef Jonah has demonstrated. Of course, tasting and testing the food that was prepared in the demo is open to all.
Body positive messages throughout the space.
It is extremely important to us that this space is a warm, supportive and non-judgemental one. A space free of diet culture, idealizing thinness, and fatphobia. A space filled with neutral and positive messages about our bodies, food, and health. You will find no food, body or health shaming here.
Coffee and tea will be made available. Feel free to bring a snack if you tend to get hungry at this time of day.
