Weight Loss/Emotional Eating: A supportive group for folx who want to change patterns of emotional eating, overeating, and starting over with weight loss. Through creative reflection, group discussion, and shared experiences, explore your relationship with food, develop greater awareness and choice, and work toward more sustainable change without relying on another diet or rigid set of rules. Two Sections: Mondays, 11AM – 12PM and Tuesdays 8:30AM – 9:30AM

Make space to notice what’s happening beneath familiar cycles of emotional eating, overeating, restriction, or starting over and explore new ways of responding to yourself with greater awareness, curiosity, and compassion.
Rather than focusing on another set of rules to follow, this group invites you to slow down, listen to yourself, and discover what supports meaningful, sustainable change.

- Emotions and unmet needs: Explore what food may offer you in different moments, and discover other ways to respond to you feelings and needs.
- Listening to the body: Reconnect with bodily cues and experiences, making room to notice what you need rather than automatically overriding or dismissing yourself.
- Moving beyond rigid rules: Examine the expectations, all-or-nothing thinking, and cycles of restriction and starting over that can make change feel so difficult.
- Building a different relationship with food: Explore ways to bring more flexibility, steadiness, and choice into eating without making food another source of pressure or self-judgment.
- Weight goals and meaningful change: Consider how to pursue health and weight-related goals in ways that support your well-being rather than becoming another measure of your worth.

Myth & Mirror: A guided creative experience using journaling, imagery, symbolic play, and reflective exercises to spark curiosity and self-discovery. Through individual exploration and group conversation, share perspectives, discover unexpected connections, and see how others’ interpretations can open up new ways of looking at yourself and the world.
Through journaling, imagery, associative writing, symbolic play, and reflective exercises, we’ll follow unexpected connections, explore ideas that capture our attention, and discover where our imaginations lead us. Rather than starting with a question we need to answer or a problem we need to solve, we’ll make space for curiosity, experimentation, and the surprises that can emerge when we let our thinking take an unfamiliar path.
A crucial part of the experience is discovering alongside others. As you share your reflections and interpretations, you’ll encounter different ways of seeing the same image, idea, or experience. Someone else’s perspective might reveal something you hadn’t noticed, spark a new association, or invite you to reconsider a familiar way of looking at things.
You don’t need to consider yourself creative or have experience with journaling or other expressive practices. This is a space to experiment, follow your curiosity, and see what unfolds. Explore how creative expression and shared perspectives can open up unexpected possibilities for self-discovery, connection, and a richer understanding of yourself and the world around you.
What We’ll Explore Together
- Images and associations: Use images, words, and other creative starting points to notice what draws your attention, what connections arise, and where your thoughts begin to wander.
- Stories and symbolism: Explore the personal meanings, associations, and stories that emerge through symbolic play. Discover how the same image or symbol can hold different meanings for different people.
- Creative journaling: Experiment with free writing, imaginative prompts, and reflective exercises that invite you to explore ideas without needing to organize them or reach a particular conclusion.
- Unexpected connections: Follow the threads between seemingly unrelated thoughts, images, memories, and ideas. Notice what emerges when you allow yourself to make connections in new ways.
- Different perspectives: Share interpretations and reflections with others, discovering how another person’s viewpoint can shift your understanding, spark curiosity, or reveal a possibility you hadn’t considered.
- Self-discovery through creativity: Notice what captures your interest, what surprises you, and what new questions or insights emerge through the process of exploration.
- Play and possibility: Give yourself permission to experiment, imagine, and explore without needing to be productive or get something right. Discover what becomes possible when curiosity takes the lead.

- Enjoy journaling, imagery, storytelling, or other creative ways of exploring ideas.
- Are curious about what you might discover when you approach familiar things from a different angle.
