    xenia ayiotis 2019Food and eating can be a source of great joy, but it can also be a source of suffering. Lockdown has brought up challenges and many people have been turning to food for comfort.

    This mini-retreat is based on a combination of the principles of Mindful Eating and Intuitive Eating.

    What exactly is Mindful Eating? How could you benefit from it?

    Mindful Eating increases our awareness around why, what, when and how we eat in a curious and non-judgemental way.

    The mini-retreat will combine Mindful Eating tools, Mindful Eating practices with foods and meditation. The intention is to use a non-judgemental and compassionate approach to re-learning internal physical and emotional cues to guide us with when, what and how much to eat, also examining our rules around food and whether they serve us creating a peaceful relationship with food.

    Join us on on Zoom for a mini introduction to Mindful Eating and gently explore your relationship with food and eating.
