Food Freedom Through the Holidays

The holidays are a wonderful time to connect and celebrate with friends and loved ones. But, holiday celebrations can be stressful for people who struggle with disordered eating and chronic dieting. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

What if, instead of dieting this holiday season, we focused on creating a sense of food freedom? What if we listened to our bodies and honored all of the different types of hunger we experience?

To help support your intuitive eating practice during the holidays, Liberating Jasper is offering a new eight-week group experience called Food Freedom: Honoring Your Hunger. The unique structure of this group is as follows:

Weeks 1-3 (12/3 to 12/17): Learning the principle of Intuitive Eating, creating a support network with other group members, and practicing Intuitive Eating during therapeutic meals
Weeks 4-5 (12/24 to 12/31): Practicing Intuitive Eating on your own, and getting weekly private support from the group facilitator
Weeks 6-8 (1/7 to 1/21): Continuing to practice Intuitive Eating during therapeutic meals, and developing tools to help you maintain this practice during the New Year, when the pressure to diet is highest

All groups will meet Tuesday evenings from 5-7 pm, and will include time for therapeutic meals (BYO food). Registration includes all materials, and two support check-ins during weeks 4-5. This group is paid in installments of $100 over three months. Sign up now to find your own food freedom, and ditch holiday diets for good!

Retreat Testimonials

Over the next day and a half, we ate together, we laughed, cried and dug deeper into our disordered eating. We talked about our hopes and dreams, our heartaches and fears. We walked in the rain and found joy in the moon light.

I went in hoping to give up self-doubt and judgment and I got so much more than that. Radical acceptance of right here, right now is something I will continue to work on for the rest of my life.

I know as with all things, practicing this with self-compassion will help me find the internal peace and understanding I am constantly looking for.

We came in feeling like misfits looking for a fix, and found out we fit just as we are.

Big Fat Hugs,

Denise

The retreat was a truly transformative experience. Alex, Maggie, and Colleen hold this sacred and safe space that allows for such deep inner reflection, growth, and self acceptance. But they also built a community space that allows all participants to hold space for each other and build strong bonds that I will hold in my heart forever.

After the retreat I felt so much more at ease and confident in my body. All these different ideas and concepts had been floating around in my mind, but the retreat really brought them all together and made them click, like unlocking a safe full of my innermost truths.

The path ahead feels stronger. I feel much more grounded in my commitment to this work, as an advocate, as a member of a community, as well as for myself.

It was a big reach for me to attend a retreat, but I am so thankful I did. It was essential to my journey for self love and compassion.

The Liberating Jasper team provided such a well organized, informative, and FUN retreat. The welcoming, loving environment allowed us participants to be vulnerable and open and we will carry those lessons we learned throughout our lives.

GO. You deserve to be happy just as you are.
