JULY 8-12, 2024
DAILY 10:30AM PT
A 5-DAY workshop for those wanting freedom from eating and food urges, grabbing, nervous repetitive behavior, over-ing or under-ing.
Join Grace Bell, Mental Health Therapist, Professional Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, and Eating Peace Activist to question core beliefs that fuel worry, cravings, frustration and disappointment, understand how to work with your thinking and apply self-inquiry, and take back your power with food.
You will learn the basis of permanent transformation of eating wars: mindset change, feeling change, habit change. We'll approach this difficult challenge with food and eating behavior change with a tiny shift in behavior.
This sea change makes all the difference, and it's backed by science.
You'll listen to other eating peace students from all walks of life and circumstances, and give yourself time and attention for the important work around this topic. You get to immediately apply and practice new ways to encounter food, eating and body image.
"I am content doing the thing in front of me, since my mind doesn't conflict with what I do. It has no reason to; there are no beliefs that would get in the way." ~ Byron Katie
LIVE 5-DAY WORKSHOP CHALLENGE:
Day 1: identifying your greatest desire, choosing a tiny change for this challenge, and questioning thoughts that drive off-balance eating
Day 2: supporting your tiny shift by making it clear, and seeing what the mind says about "wanting"
Day 3: challenging advice you give yourself using "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" by asking four questions and relaxing instead
Day 4: abiding change happens when feeling good (not bad)--noticing "needs" and inquiring, and celebrating your tiny practice
Day 5: allowing a tiny adjustment from closed and hopeless to willing, curious and empowered
When you enroll, you'll be added to the participant list and will receive access to all the recordings of the live sessions all on zoom. This is intentionally kept small so you will receive personal attention (if you want or need it). It is also OK to sign up and only watch the recordings instead of coming live.
Join Grace Bell, long-time facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie and student of eating wars and eating peace to return to what's happening now, instead of what will happen in the future, or what happened in the past, when it comes to unwanted behavior or activity, or thought itself.
You'll learn how to turn in a new direction from the usual approaches to change which are usually:
Instead, we'll draw from leading evidence-based behavior change and self-inquiry to make a tiny shift and notice how to be with it, peacefully.
Everyone will identify their aspiration, identify what is truly possible for you (according to your own awareness of yourself) and make this shift from Day 1. There is no pass or fail, there is no grading....there will be learning, awareness and clarity around what is blocking you.
You'll experience an easy change, and dive into inquiry when the mind is interfering with your peace. We're not fighting the mind, we're befriending it with care and attention. We're bringing understanding to our impulses.
The format of this workshop experiential for understanding how to work with mind, feelings and self-sabotage behavior, with group participation on zoom.
People are free to attend camera on, or off (although you're encouraged to turn it on and be as present as possible, and share yourself with us).
Beginners to Experienced in The Work of Byron Katie all are welcome.
"Grace is lovely. Willing, receptive, welcoming to it all. She lives The Work." ~ Laurie
"The underlying current of negative thoughts about myself surrounding food, weight and diet became clearer to me--particularly through the writing and meal exercises. Grace is phenomenal. She makes the retreat a 10/10; no matter what made me uncomfortable her energy and presence made it a safe environment. Her guidance and sharing of her experience were invaluable." ~ Participant Retreat
"I know that speaking shame is the way to help it have less power, but to experience this around food and body was profound. It all worked for me, the content was just what I needed. Grace is amazing, She was able to meet each person just as they are." ~ Emily
