During this hour-long webinar, we’ll use contemplative practices and freewriting to ground and guide a conversation about our relationships with food. We’ll also prioritize storytelling, reflect on lived experiences, and set intentions.

Instead of providing answers, we’ll together explore a series of questions:

  • How do we describe and understand our relationships with food?
  • What relationships do we each want to cultivate? And why?
  • What brings us closer to “right relationship” with food and all that food is connected with, including humans, non-human animals, and the earth?
  • What relationships support “everyday living for justice”?

Why hold this webinar in January?

Relationships with food are tricky at all times of year, but this is especially the case in January. From the pressures of new year resolutions to weight-loss goals and fitness challenges, January highlights the swing from decadent December eating to body-shaming that’s associated with “getting in shape.” Or, in the words of an article by Zoe Fenson: “January is the month of body shaming. I’m tuning out.”

In recent years, January has also been fashioned as “Veganuary,” which has tied vegan eating with the body-shaming, fat phobia, and the weight loss goals of January. This conflation marginalizes bodies not associated with the “mythical norm,” centers whiteness in veganism, and undercuts the potential of veganism to counter injustice. (And let me add that of the many reasons I’m vegan, weight loss hasn’t and won’t make the list.)

So, this January—within this messy context—let’s talk about our relationships with food.
