Workshops for Eating Disorders
Restorative Yoga
Through gentle movement and mindful rest, participants can begin to rebuild a more positive, loving relationship with their bodies.
Pottery workshops
Our Therapeutic and Mindful Pottery Workshops are a space where creativity meets healing. Our sessions are designed to help you reconnect with yourself through the art of pottery, offering a calming and immersive experience that promotes relaxation, self-expression, and mindfulness. Whether you’re shaping clay for the first time or are a seasoned artist, our workshops provide a supportive environment for participants to explore the therapeutic benefits of tactile creativity.
Guided by a ceramist and co-designed by our team of therapists, each session encourages mindfulness through hands-on techniques, allowing you to slow down, focus on the present moment, and release stress. The gentle rhythm of working with clay fosters a deep sense of inner peace, making these workshops perfect for anyone seeking a creative escape or emotional balance. Come shape your unique journey toward wellness, one piece at a time.

Therapeutic theater
Therapeutic theater for eating disorders is a form of creative therapy that uses theatrical techniques to help individuals explore and express their emotions related to food, body image, and self-esteem. Through role-playing, improvisation, and body expression, participants can connect with their feelings in a safe and controlled environment. This approach fosters self-understanding and the processing of difficult experiences, facilitating the release of repressed emotions and promoting greater awareness of internal thought and behavior patterns.
This type of therapy is especially beneficial for those facing eating disorders, as it provides a space to symbolically express the internal struggles that accompany these conditions. Therapeutic theater not only encourages creativity and self-expression but also facilitates the development of coping skills, personal empowerment, and a deeper connection with oneself and others.
It is a powerful tool for exploring complex emotions and initiating a process of emotional and psychological healing.
Mindfulness workshops
Our mindfulness group sessions provide a supportive and peaceful environment to cultivate mindfulness practices, enhancing your mental and emotional well-being. Led by experienced mindfulness practitioners, these sessions focus on teaching techniques to increase present-moment awareness. Key mindfulness skills covered include acting with awareness, non-judging and non-reactivity to inner experiences, and observing and describing both internal and external experiences.
Through guided meditations, breathing exercises, and mindful movement, you will develop a greater sense of inner calm and resilience. These sessions also offer the opportunity to share experiences and support each other in your mindfulness journeys, fostering a sense of community.
Book and Film club
The Book and Film Club aims to explore a wide range of themes—self-discovery, resilience, relationships, and mental health. Alternating weekly between book and film discussions, we’ll take a month to read and reflect on a selected book, diving deep into its themes and characters.
For the film club, we’ll explore a new theme or genre, using carefully chosen films to spark conversations.
Whether you’re a reader or passionate about movies, this club offers a space to connect, share, grow, and deepen your understanding of yourself.
Mindful eating and nutrition workshops
In our Mindful Eating Workshops we invite you to transform your relationship with food through the practice of mindfulness. In these sessions, you’ll learn to slow down, fully engage your senses, and develop a deeper awareness of your eating habits. By focusing on the present moment, you’ll discover how to listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, savor each bite, and cultivate a more balanced, healthy relationship with food.
Our workshops provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where participants explore mindful eating techniques, gain practical tools for daily life, and reconnect with the pleasure of nourishing the body. Whether you’re looking to improve your overall well-being, reduce stress around food, or simply enjoy eating in a more intentional way, our workshops offer a path toward a more conscious and fulfilling way of eating.
Nutritional workshops, on the other hand, offer a holistic approach to improving your well-being through mindful and balanced eating. In each session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of healthy nutrition, how to choose foods that support your energy and health, and how to develop sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle. With expert guidance, you’ll discover practical tools to enhance your daily routines and achieve greater physical and emotional well-being, all in a supportive and educational environment.
Creative writing
Cultivate a supportive writing practice that can aid your recovery journey, even if you’ve never journaled before. Whether you’re interested in storytelling, personal reflection, or simply journaling to process daily thoughts and emotions, these workshops offer a safe and encouraging environment tailored to support individuals facing eating disorders. You’ll gain valuable insights into using narrative as a tool for healing, along with practical advice, exercises, and techniques designed to build your confidence and deepen your self-understanding through the written word.
