We completely understand the food issues that concern you when taking part in an event like this, however, as you'll be learning, it's not about food. Our lunch hours are spent together either in a catered meeting room or at a local restaurant enjoying connection and conversation while taking part in a mindful eating exercise designed to support you to safely connect with yourself around food and to deepen your understanding of the complexities of your relationship with food. Whatever you're feeling is perfectly okay to experience. You can choose to eat or not. However you need to cope at the time is just fine. You will be constantly encouraged to take care of yourself and to focus not on what you’re eating or if you’re eating but on what’s going on to make you feel the need to use food to cope. Just know that we will always support you to do what is right for you in that moment.
