Welcome to
Connected: A Body Image Retreat
Join an 8 week virtual body image retreat hosted by registered dietitians Gretchen Wallace, MS, RDN and Hannah Kirby, MS, RDN, CEDS-C. Gretchen and Hannah are dietitians that specialize in recovery from disordered eating and support people in cultivating peaceful relationships with food, movement and body image. This workshop specifically dives into deeper aspects of body image in a fun and supportive small group setting.
Why is Connected right for me?
Body image is a hot topic of conversation. Body positivity trends come and go, fad diets and exercise routines spring up out of nowhere, and what counts as a "good body" changes with the seasons. It makes it so many of us don't ever get a firm grasp on what it would look like to truly accept our bodies.
The goal with Connected is to help you feel more in touch with yourself. We want to walk you through conversations, reflections, activities, and ideas that can help you to challenge the idea that you and your body are a project in need of fixing. We want you to explore your worth outside of the aesthetics of your body. We want you to feel connected to your humanity and innate worthiness.
Joining this group gives you a rare opportunity to have real conversations with other people about what it means to truly care for and respect your body. It's a space to go deeper than simple reassurances ("You're not fat, you're beautiful") or quick fixes ("I'd be able to be happy if I could just lose ___ pounds").
If you are ready to get into the real stuff - the stuff that keeps you stuck in a loop of body dissatisfaction - you're in the right place. I hope you'll join us!
