The Body Image Basics workshop provides definitions of body image types, discusses what society tells us is the “ideal” body, and introduces participants to body attitudes on issues such as body positivity, body neutrality, and body acceptance, among other topics. Participants will leave the workshop with a more nuanced understanding of body image in today’s society and, we hope, a willingness to challenge internalized fatphobia. Request a Body Image Basics workshop.

The Feminism 101 workshop offers some definitions of feminism, provides a timeline of feminism in the United States, and introduces participants to feminist perspectives on issues such as education, intersectionality, and reproductive rights, among other topics. The workshop is interactive and allows participants to assess their knowledge both before and after the session. Participants will leave the workshop with a more nuanced understanding of feminism and, we hope, a willingness to question their assumptions about feminism. Request a Feminism 101 workshop.
