2/19—BODY IMAGE EMPOWERMENT
DATE: Thursday, February 19
TIME: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
FACILITATOR: Jennifer Sugarwoman & Marla Greenberg
ACTIVITY: Body Image Discussion and Creative Expression
This class will be held twice monthly on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00.
Everyone’s relationship with their body is unique. Our feelings about our bodies are often layered, shifting, and hard to put into words. This circle is for anyone who’s wrestling with thoughts about appearance—whether you’ve had weight‑loss surgery, are navigating an eating‑disorder journey, or simply notice the way you see yourself in the mirror.
How it works
Participants are invited to share at their own pace, with a gentle invitation to speak when they feel ready.
Only one voice speaks at a time, and we hold space without judgment or advice—just listening and caring.
As a person with body-image issues, I know and understand the feelings and struggles of having no place to go with it. This group will create a place for people to listen, talk, share, and find out they are not alone. The intention for this group is that people will be able to make genuine connections and feel the comfort of a supportive community.
Creative Expression
If you’d like, you can draw or paint anything that reflects how you feel about your body—abstract shapes, realistic sketches, or anything in between. Making or sharing your artwork is completely optional; you decide what feels right. Afterward, we’ll have a brief moment for anyone who wants to talk about their creative process and what it brought up for them.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a substitute for therapy, so please reach out to a therapist or medical provider if you are experiencing ongoing mental and/or physical health challenges. You must register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building. Our studio space is only accessible by way of stairs with a railing.
Please register by 2/18. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.
If finances are keeping you from coming, please contact us. We believe in the art of abundance and have an Art Angel Scholarship Fund to keep us in the flow state.
