Join us for community building, laughter, venting and zero diet talk! We are creating a safe space for people in all bodies to connect as we actively deconstruct and unlearn the pervasive messages of diet culture. This doesn't have to be a lonely journey - come talk all things anti-diet & intuitive eating with people who share your values.

This fall we’re meeting up at Commongrounds Cooperative on 8th St from 6-7:30pm on Thursdays Set 14, Oct 19 and Nov 16. We’ll be discussing topics from a “common read” each month - whether you read or listen to the book or not, you are welcome!

September Common Read: Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation. In Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help readers to improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, Decolonizing Wellness is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation.

This is a body positivity and food freedom book for marginalized folks. It’s a guide to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating. It’s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing.

It’s also a love letter to those of us who struggle with our bodies and a gentle plea for us to do the work it takes to accept, trust, and love ourselves.
