RAVES Workshop hosted by Shane Jeffrey, River Oak Health

The RAVES Eating Model is a robust and evidence informed framework that supports the development of positive food relationships. With over ten years of real world application the RAVES eating model has been adopted by dietitians, psychologists, general practitioners and psychiatrists across a variety of clinical populations. Having been presented at both the national and international level, the RAVES eating model provides a no frills, step-by-step approach to challenging diet culture.

This interactive workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of how the RAVES eating model was developed, and how it can be applied clinically both as a stand alone model and in conjunction with a variety of behaviour change strategies to support sustainable dietary change when working in areas of eating disorders, the non diet approach, and chronic disease.

Vajrapani Institute for Wisdom Culture

Boulder Creek, California

May 24-27, 2019  

This three-day retreat will focus on cultivating mindfulness and compassion and the meditation practices of Mindful Eating. When we eat mindfully, we involve all the senses by engaging our body and our mind. We utilize color, texture, smell, taste, and sound to nurture our experience. We learn to pay attention to what our body really needs and why. To support cultivating our awareness, we will quiet the mind and open the heart through yoga, sitting and walking meditation. Through these practices of deepening our inner awareness of the body and mind, we will experience wisdom and compassion, which is our true nature. We will be working with teachings of the Buddha and contemporary applications, how to stay present and embodied in the moment, aware of and working with mind states that create obstacles to awakening, while cultivating qualities that enhance well-being in everyday life. This will include the exploration of craving and grasping, and cultivation of compassion. We can experience food as pleasure and nourishment while finding our right relationship to amount and quality in each moment. Mindful eating and living can nudge us beyond what we’re craving so that we wake up to why we’re craving it. We can learn to live life with more equanimity and ease, with the skills to make conscious choices.

Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.

BodyWise Professionals Retreat with Kimberly Dark

June 9-14th 2019

Big Island, Hawaii

Join Kimberly Dark, sociologist, facilitator and yoga teacher for the Body Wise Wellness Retreat, a five-day experiential retreat where we practice caring for ourselves in order to care better for others. We'll use writing, nature and movement to help uncover what makes our work effective, and how to grow in both skill and compassion. We'll explore the influence of social hierarchies and power imbalance on our work. Chances are there are some areas in which you are expert - either because of your experiences or training. In other ways, you'll be surprised by your vulnerability. We'll work on uncovering unconscious bias and explore our own intersections of privilege and oppression and how they influence who we are to others. We'll also rest, write, meditate, move, spend time in water and nurture ourselves and each other on the journey.

Hosted by CEED (Centre of Excellence in Eating Disorders)

Presented by Michelle Roberton (APD) & Jess Ryan

Suitable for all health clinicians, including Dietitians

EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION is the premier training workshop to bridge the gap between academic research and the practical tools you need right now to help your patients and clients. 

Unlike typical conference sessions where the topic is totally pre-planned and only a few minutes are set aside for questions, EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION provides a truly interactive framework in which the needs of the participants always direct the course.

Every EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION is different, and topics are determined by the areas of practice and specific concerns brought forward by attendees.

Whether you have been in practice a short time or many years, if you spend your day helping individuals with dysfunctional eating (and who doesn't?) then EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION is for you. 

If you need a confidence boost, an update on the latest and greatest, confirmation that you're "doing it right," or the nuts and bolts of eating disorder treatment, reserve your spot in one of the upcoming locations for the most comprehensive and practical workshop you will attend.

What your colleagues have said about EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION:

"I don't know how she made the time speed by like that, but Jessica's enthusiasm and great ideas had me engaged and invested from minute one... and after a day and a half, I didn't want it to end!"

"I don't know how I did my job before this workshop. I can tell I'll be doing it a LOT better now."

"Before I got here I worried that it was a big investment of time and money. But the tools I learned and the boundary advice are priceless. It would still be worth it for twice the price."

EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION workshops are held from 9am-4pm the first day and 9am-noon the second day. Your registration fee includes:

EATING DISORDERS BOOT CAMP: NEXT GENERATION Manual, including all slides, articles, handouts and resources discussed in the workshop;

A Certificate of Completion for all professions, including 9 CEUs for Registered Dietitians;

Breakfast on both days and lunch on the first day;

Copies of both of Jessica's books, The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide, Second Edition and The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Pocket Guide to Eating Disorders, Second Edition.

One and a half days of PERSONAL attention from Jessica - Eating Disorders Boot Camp: NEXT GENERATION workshops are limited in size to ensure that you get exactly what you need.

Can't wait to see you there!

P.S. - Don't see a location that fits? All you need to bring ED Boot Camp to your area in 2018 is 10-12 interested attendees and a room to accommodate them for two days! Get in touch with Celena at info@UnderstandingNutrition.com or 214-503-7100 and let's make it happen!

Hosted by Fiona Sutherland & Fiona Willer

Day 1: Weight Science, Non Diet Principles to Practice

Day 2: Communication & Social Justice Frameworks

Due to the success of the two day series over the last few years, Fiona Willer (Health Not Diets) and Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian) will continue to offer two types of non-diet approach workshops designed especially for dietitians. The first is a two day workshop for dietitians who have not previously attended non-diet approach training, or who may like some revision and an update on research.  The Day 2 workshop is suitable for those who are looking to extend and consolidate their skills. The workshops are on consecutive days so that you can choose to come to both day 1 and 2, or just day 2. 

Day 1:

With a thorough exploration of the evidence base as well as experiential and self reflective activities, this event will support to you develop sound foundational competence in using the Non Diet Approach with your clients and patients. This practical workshop is perfect for Dietitians working in private practice, weight management clinics & clinical outpatient services. Includes a copy of The Non Diet Approach Guidebook for Dietitians

Find out about:

• The history of Health At Every Size (HAES) ® & Non Diet Approaches

• Research informing the Non Diet Approach, evidence base & practice-based research possibilities

• The five core components of the Non Diet Approach in detail

• Specific strategies, tools & worksheets to use with your clients

• The most common tripping points

• Specifically how to integrate the Non Diet Approach into the Nutrition Care Process including nutrition diagnosis & PESS statement development

Day 2:

Suitable for anyone who has attended Day 1 at any time, this full day workshop is designed both as a next step from the Day 1 foundational training as well as ongoing skill development for more experienced Non Diet Approach practitioners.

In 2019, our theme is Social Justice & Communication (new material)

Non Diet Approach is a practice framework built within the Health At Every Size ® paradigm, with a strong social justice foundation. Together, we will explore social justice both as an idea, and as a practice & how it intersects with Non Diet Approach-based care. Starting off with definition of terms, we’ll dig into some of the nuance & complexity of promoting equity & justice for all bodies in a culture which can make this really tough! We’ll offer not only our own experience, but provide you with a ton of resources you can explore in your own time to more deeply embed these ideas into your practice.

Using various frameworks, we will discuss & explore ways we can more effectively communicate with clients, colleagues & health practitioners so that we feel more grounded and confident in our messaging. Calling upon evidence-based care AND social justice frameworks, we want you to leave feeling like you can have tough conversations from a place of kindness & stability.

Don’t worry if you haven’t integrated Non Diet into every element on your practice (we understand that it takes time, or it may all be very new!) – this workshop will support you to build confidence & work through sticking points.

Bring your questions, and we’ll make sure to allocate time for digging in, as well as networking & enjoying delicious food!

Hosted by Fiona Sutherland & Haley Goodrich

This 2-day workshop, presented by Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian, Australia) & Haley Goodrich (INSPIRD Nutrition, USA) will bring together the principles of the Non Diet Approach along with really diving into the nuance & challenges which come along with working within this framework.

What can I expect?

Day 1 will cover Non Diet Approach from principles to practice, clarifying how different models fit neatly together with this model of client-centered care. We will explore the history of these approaches, then dive into each component in turn then pull it all together in a clear, cohesive, practical way. Importantly, we will also be looking at who we are missing in these approaches & how we can promote equitable care for all people.

We will be presenting in a variety of learning styles - didactic, insight-oriented & discussions.

Day 2 will start with learning how to use consistent language throughout your brand and social media to connect with your audience and build their trust. We will then practice communicating the non-diet approach to other professionals, so that you can effectively share the work you do and advocate on behalf of your clients. We will identify and unpack common clinician blocks and stuck points, and learn how to clearly respond to interview style questions and in media opportunities. Together we will apply these skills in thoughtfully responding to clients and weight-centric referring providers to promote collaborative care.

This practical workshop is perfect for Dietitians working in private practice, weight management clinics & clinical outpatient services. Includes a copy of The Non Diet Approach Guidebook for Dietitians

Find out about:

• The history of Health At Every Size (HAES) ® & Non Diet Approaches

• Research informing the Non Diet Approach, evidence base & practice-based research possibilities

• The five core components of the Non Diet Approach in detail

• Specific strategies, tools & worksheets to use with your clients

• The most common tripping points

Day 2:

Suitable for anyone who has attended Day 1 at any time, this full day workshop is designed both as a next step from the Day 1 foundational training as well as ongoing skill development for more experienced Non Diet Approach practitioners.

In 2019, our theme is Social Justice & Communication (new material)

Non Diet Approach is a practice framework built within the Health At Every Size ® paradigm, with a strong social justice foundation. Together, we will explore social justice both as an idea, and as a practice & how it intersects with Non Diet Approach-based care. Starting off with definition of terms, we’ll dig into some of the nuance & complexity of promoting equity & justice for all bodies in a culture which can make this really tough! We’ll offer not only our own experience, but provide you with a ton of resources you can explore in your own time to more deeply embed these ideas into your practice.

Using various frameworks, we will discuss & explore ways we can more effectively communicate with clients, colleagues & health practitioners so that we feel more grounded and confident in our messaging. Calling upon evidence-based care AND social justice frameworks, we want you to leave feeling like you can have tough conversations from a place of kindness & stability.

Don’t worry if you haven’t integrated Non Diet into every element on your practice (we understand that it takes time, or it may all be very new!) – this workshop will support you to build confidence & work through sticking points.

Bring your questions, and we’ll make sure to allocate time for digging in, as well as networking & enjoying delicious food!

MI 1 (16th May) SOLD OUT

MI 2 (17th May) more information here

Hosted By Lilia Graue, Fiercely Embodied through Mindful Eating Mexico

A five-day intensive, advanced level workshop for participants interested in deep exploration of the hidden structures, beliefs and systems that shape conversation, practice and writing to impact health justice.

Core themes include:

• Nutrition as social action

• Thinking, un/feeling, learning through trauma

• Why language matters

• Matching theory and practice

Intended participants

Practitioners, activists, scholars committed to further exploring their use of a philosophy  grounded in weight-inclusivity and social justice.

Topics and Teaching Outline:

Using an emancipatory pedagogy we’ll adopt the principles of whole person learning, and draw on the collective wealth of expertise and experiences in the room. There will be guided learning, small and large group activities, discussion and reflection that engages learners in different ways of knowing and suits a range of learning styles.  We will take time to consider the implications of the learning to our own development and resilience and what this means for our professional practice. Lucy will draw on Well Now theory, which is compassion-centered, trauma-informed and justice-enhancing.  As well as helping us shape practice, looking through a trauma-informed lens also invites us to question the deep roots of organizational knowledge-creation where a ‘trauma-ignored’ approach is too often embedded. Activities will be based around concepts deemed useful for us to explore together and also schedule time later in the week that we can use to discuss topics decided on by the group after we meet.

Sample course objectives include:

• Developing an understanding of and appreciation for the knowledge that already exists in the group and explore how this has been shaped by implicit and explicit values and beliefs and personal and professional experiences.

• Improved understanding of what is meant by whole person learning, praxis and critical pedagogy and how this enhances trauma-informed practice and scholarship.

• Expanded working knowledge of concepts from social justice, social science and the humanities that can help shape practice.

• The opportunity to examine ‘thought as a system’, focusing on the deep roots of disconnect in language and learning ways to alter this in our everyday and therapeutic conversations.

• Demonstrate an understanding of the tensions, challenges and opportunities raised by conventional hierarchies, silences and processes in organizational knowledge creation, what this means for ethical autonomy, and how it supports or suppresses a trauma-informed discourse.

• Critically examine the concept of salutogenesis and its relevance  to community learning and belonging.

• 9:45 – 10:00 Break

Day 1: Weight Science, Non Diet Principles to Practice

Day 2: Communication & Social Justice Frameworks

Due to the success of the two day series over the last few years, Fiona Willer (Health Not Diets) and Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian) will continue to offer two types of non-diet approach workshops designed especially for dietitians. The first is a two day workshop for dietitians who have not previously attended non-diet approach training, or who may like some revision and an update on research.  The Day 2 workshop is suitable for those who are looking to extend and consolidate their skills. The workshops are on consecutive days so that you can choose to come to both day 1 and 2, or just day 2.
