Stretch and Learn

Make meaning this morning with a light breakfast paired with a weight-neutral, lived experience exploration of eating disorders and movement

We live in a world saturated with diet culture, body shame, morality around food, and constant pressure to meet unrealistic standards. With so many mixed messages, it can be hard to recognise what a healthy relationship with food even looks like, especially when disordered patterns are often normalised and celebrated.

Join us as we talk about all things body neutrality, dissect diet culture, and learn how to move our bodies with care and compassion, rather than out of obligation.

WHAT: A body-neutral, informative, shame-free and lived experience-grounded breakfast, short Lived Experience grassroots documentary, presentation by Rachael Burns, and guided gentle yoga Lived Experience leader Elaine Ashurst.

WHEN: Saturday 11th April, 9am - 12pm

WHERE: EarthPoint Evolution Fremantle

ABOUT THE EVENT

"Sick Enough" is a 10-minute Lived Experience film featuring Lexington Mitchell, Rachael Burna, Tyler White, Claudio Navarro, Lily Graves, Caitlin Miller and Melissa Burrows. It explores the reality of feeling 'not sick enough' whilst living with an eating disorder, and the influence of a world saturated in diet culture, food morality and shame.

YOU CAN EXPECT:
Light breakfast/ brunch, screening of 'Sick Enough', a mini interactive workshop on the history of diet culture and navigating our current weight-obsessed society, and a gentle, self-compassion focused yoga session, led by the incredible Elaine Ashurst and mini-workshop delving into eating disorders (EDs), disordered eating, and a weight-neutral approach to wellbeing.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This session is suitable for anyone looking to support themselves or others, to challenge diet culture, or to build a more inclusive, weight-neutral approach to health and wellbeing.

NOTE - We will share food in a neutral, celebratory way, modelling what it means to eat without guilt or fear. We ask that if you attend, you respect the space and agree to refrain from commenting on your own and others' food choices.
