New Beginnings with Food Workshop

The New Beginnings with Food Experience offers participants the opportunity to end their daily food torture and transform their relationship with food, weight, themselves, and others. This series of sessions includes experiential exercises, enquiry into the spiritual and emotional connections with our eating behaviors, and tools for creating new thought patterns and behaviors that support health. Participants must be ready, willing, and able to engage in the process of change.

Modern biological science confirms what the indigenous, religious, mystics and philosophers have known for eons: that by virtue of being made in the image and likeness of our Higher Power, we are sacred, powerful, creative, spiritual beings.  We have merely forgotten this. These sessions are designed to reawaken the creative power in each person and apply it to changing perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors.

This series of seven sessions was developed by Barbara Royal, Certified Spiritual Director, and Dr. Jerianne Heimendinger, Harvard PhD Nutritionist. Barbara and Jerianne merged their scientific, nutritional and spiritual expertise into a format suitable for logical thinkers and people from diverse religious, spiritual and philosophical backgrounds.

During the 14 hour (seven sessions) series, participants learn:

  • what their current relationship with food is
  • to see their current food behaviors more clearly
  • some of the sources of their suffering
  • to use a variety of tools for changing beliefs and behaviors
  • to address the spiritual and emotional elements involved in conscious weight loss
  • how to link their mind and Higher Power to change negative, subconscious perceptions about themselves
  • the Higher Power Prayer and MeditationSM
  • to create new self-images
  • breath work
  • the power of gratitude
  • mindful eating practices
  • daily supportive rituals
  • yoga
  • nutritional information
  • the science behind New Beginnings with Food

Participants enjoy the group dynamics, participate in fun and practical exercises, and are assigned prayer partners for ongoing support after they complete the program.
