Using Anita Johnston’s book, Eating in the Light of the Moon as a base, this group explores emotional eating
Eating in the Light of the Moon, by Anita Johnston, uses metaphor and storytelling to explore women’s relationships with food. It digs deeper than most books to flesh out how women relate to themselves.
Shelley Jensen, of “S” Team Counselling Services, is hosting an Eating in the Light of the Moon Book Study Group for those who want to look within for the answer to the question: why do I eat emotionally?
The group meets once a week for 6 weeks in a 2-hour block of time. The last week includes a small celebration for the completion of the workshop.
Participants are given homework after each group, based around “pondering questions” such as, What are you telling yourself that is keeping you frightened of your own power? or Can you describe a time when you chose to take a chance and followed your intuition even when others in your life criticized you? How did you feel?
Affirmations are also included to help each woman celebrate the work she has done and the work she has yet to do within herself.
I have attended one of the groups and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Shelley is a supportive and inspiring facilitator and creates a warm and loving environment in which to seek the truth within ourselves.
The sessions are on-going, so contact Shelley Jensen for more information on when the next group starts.
All workshops are held at the “S” Team Counselling office:
