Duration: 1 hour
The Unlearning Series Workshop
Trigger warning: This series will include topics that some may find vulnerable, including exploring negative feelings (our own and others).
The "Unlearning Series” is a generative writing workshop, open to participants of all ages, sizes, and abilities. Participants will be led through writing prompts and activities to encourage inner and outer reflection on topics related to fat bodies. These sessions are not recorded, so you will need to be present to participate.
The Unlearning Series: Rewriting the Fat Body is for fat people and fat-positive folx of all sizes.
This webinar is presented via Zoom, in English, and with English auto-captions by Otter.ai. If you will need ASL interpreting, please register at least 4 days in advance for us to arrange for ASL Interpreting by Pro Bono ASL.
