A message from Shira Engel ’14:

Join Conor Hunt ’16, Abel A Sandoval ’15, and Shira Engel ’14 to talk about body image/perceptions at Wesleyan! We want to focus on body positivity while also creating a safe place for Wesleyan students to discuss their issues and concerns about the perpetuation of specific body ideals. We want to better understand implicit ways in which we talk about or perceive the differences of bodies on our own campus.

In addition, all participants have the option of joining WesBAM! yoga teacher Shira for FREE 45 minute yoga session after the facilitation!!!  This facilitation is brought to you by the Wesleyan Diversity Education Facilitators (WesDEF) and WesBAM! Wesleyan Body and Mind. Hope to see you all there!
