A Conversation about Our Relationships with Food [Discontinued]

By January 14, 2020

This ad shares the webinar’s name “A Conversation about Our Relationships with Food,” the date “Wednesday, January 13th at 1pm EST,” and the website address “Heart-Head-Hands.com.” Colorful foods are arranged along the bottom, and the background shows light gray wooden planks.

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.

This offering has been discontinued. Reach out for coaching, or try one of my other available courses.

A Conversation about Our Relationships with Food

Wednesday, January 13th at 1pm EST | 12pm CST | 11am MST | 10am PST

$10: Drop-in registration for the hour-long conversation
Free: Registration for Patreon subscribers with discount code

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.

When will the webinar be offered?

Wednesday, January 13th at 1pm EST | 12pm CST | 11am MST | 10am PST

After registering, you’ll receive information for joining the webinar—to be hosted in a private meeting room in Zoom.

Who will facilitate this webinar?

This program is offered by Beth Godbee, Ph.D., a public educator with deep commitments to social, racial, and environmental justice.

I've been reflecting a lot on trails this winter a I've been reflecting a lot on trails this winter and feeling how grateful I am that my work, especially coaching, is rooted in relationships.
 
One-with-one coaching can mean many different things, but it always involves connecting, listening, question-asking, and co-learning. At its best, it highlights what’s possible—possible in writing, relations, and life.
 
If you're interested in learning more or want to try a session, reach out. I'm here.
