  About the Event

  What do I feel? What do I need? What can I do?

  Those are the quintessential self-compassion questions. And to answer these questions, sometimes we need to know what we value most in our lives - our core values. Research has shown that affirming our core values enhances self-compassion.

  Human needs and core values are fundamental to our sense of well-being. Human needs are commonly associated with physical and emotional survival, such as the need for health and safety or connection, whereas core values have more to do with meaning, such as the importance to us of friendship or creativity.

  Needs and values overlap. And both are essential for our survival.

  When our needs are unmet, or we do not honor our values, a sense of discomfort, a void, starts crawling inside. And when that feeling persist, we might, unconsciously, start looking for ways to fill the void.

  Join us for this practice-oriented session to dive deep into your values and understand how those can be extended to your relationship with food and your body.

  This session requires your full presence in the Zoom rooms. Please only register for this event on this page if you are going to be able to be fully present in the meeting.

  However, if you still want to watch it afterward to do the exercises yourself, please register here:

  About the Event

  Mindfulness practices originated from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) communities; however, current adaptations of these practices in wellness culture often leave out BIPOC communities and have focused on prioritizing Western values.

  Similarly, eating disorder treatment spaces have lacked representation and failed to center BIPOC experiences, leading to treatment disparities for BIPOC individuals.

  In this panel discussion, we will explore how colonialism underpins current mindfulness practices and eating disorder treatment. Practitioners will leave with a better understanding of how to utilize mindfulness with BIPOC communities in culturally-inclusive ways with clients struggling with eating disorders.

  We invite participants to submit questions in advance to guide the panel discussion and engage in dialogue.

  Learning Objectives

  1. Participants will be able to describe how current mindfulness practices have colonialist underpinnings.
  2. Participants will be able to describe how traditional eating disorder treatment approaches have failed to center BIPOC needs and experiences.
  3. Participants will be able to identify strategies for incorporating culturally-inclusive mindfulness practices for BIPOC in eating disorder recovery.

  Join us for our monthly online community mindfulness practice! Mindfulness cultivates attention and awareness of thoughts, feelings, and all the senses without judgment. It encourages curiosity and cultivates compassion, thus providing a foundation for mindful eating.

  SOBRE LA PRÁCTICA

  ¡Únete a nuestros encuentros virtuales de Práctica de Atención Plena y Compasión!

  El Centro para la Alimentación Consciente está comprometido con el desarrollo de una comunidad que comparte el objetivo común de cultivar al atención plena y compasión. Queremos crear un espacio y tiempo seguros donde puedas iniciar una práctica de atención plena, o profundizar en tu práctica actual, en compañía de personas de ideas afines.
  

  En el año 2023, vamos a hacer una serie de encuentros inspirados en las enseñanzas de Jack Kornfield y Tara Brach para integrar la práctica en nuestro día a día como un estilo de vida. 

  El camino hacia el cambio comienza al despertar al momento presente con conciencia. La práctica de la atención plena aborda un anhelo que todos compartimos; un deseo de estar centrado, de sentirnos como en casa con nosotros mismos y con los demás, de sentirnos cómodos en nuestra propia piel.

  Nuestra intención es la de apoyarte en el desarrollo de una práctica diaria para el cultivo de una mente en calma y apertura de corazón; una práctica que enriquecerá tu vida y la vida de todos los que toques.

  
  

  Cuando dejamos de tensarnos contra la vida,

  nos abrimos a una conciencia

  inmensamente grande y llena de amor.

  ~Tara Brach~
