In conjunction with Chalked Up Nutrition, Body Positivity Cornwall and Lifedrawing Truro, we are inviting you to join us for a weekend of all things Body Positivity. Art, music, movement and workshops will all be offering an opportunity to find and practice acceptance in the company of others. Open to all and we would love to welcome back people who have attended our workshops before.
Why workshop?
Lifetime workshops are an opportunity to step away from the daily patterns of life that can limit growth into a generous non-judgemental space. This workshop invites you to challenge negative thought processes and invest in your whole self: body and mind.
Who is it for?
Our workshops are beneficial to anyone with an uneasy relationship with their body, however pervasive that unease may be. All of us feel frustrated with our bodies at times. Sometimes these frustrations grow into something more insidious and can threaten our wellbeing. For this reason, we would all benefit from learning to acknowledge negative body thoughts and to accept ourselves as we are in the present.
MALACHY DUNNE
Malachy is a therapist and founder of Lifetime. Malachy’s practice is based in mindful acceptance and he will be available during the workshop as a group enabler.
MEL WILLIAMS
Mel describes herself as “a mum of three, body positive fitness instructor, feminist & 'health at every size' advocate.”
MEL GARSIDE
Mel is a Nutritionist (ANutr) and weightlifting coach. She specialises in intuitive eating and is an advocate for ‘health at every size’.
TAMSYN ROWE
Tamsyn Rowe founded Lifedrawing Truro in January 2019, based at Lifetime Therapy in Truro. Tamsyn, who has a BA in Art History and MA in Gallery Studies, has always loved art but as a mum of 3, found she’d lost her way and needed to reconnect with her creative self.
Tamsyn founded this artist-led group to offer a creative outlet for others wanting to connect with their inner artist as well as each other. After two 6-week sessions held in spring and autumn this year, plus a summer exhibition in collaboration with Lifetime Therapy founder Malachy Dunne, Lifedrawing Truro has become a safe and supportive space in which to switch off from the noise of everyday life and enjoy looking and learning about art and ourselves.
