“Body Image and Female Sexuality”

Women are invited to participate in a one-of-a-kind workshop experience. We will gather to explore issues around body image and the impact on our sexuality. The workshop includes a multi-media presentation, a forum for sharing experiences, discussions on questions that emerge, challenging who we are in a safe and nurturing environment, and information on a variety of topics including:

• Introduction to issues around body image – what is a negative body image? How might that affect my sexuality as a woman?
• My relationship with my body – participants will partake in an art activity exploring feelings around their bodies.
• Body image visualization – a group visualization experience that allows participants to invoke feelings around body image and hold in their awareness goals to guide them in working towards a more positive and empowered vision of self and body.
• Presentation on the impact of media on body image and sexuality followed by a group discussion.
• Body Talk – tool building around awareness of negative body talk and how to transform these messages.
• The relationship between sexual satisfaction and body image.
• Body respect – learning how to nurture our physical selves and feel more empowered.
