PLR Toronto Presents: Talking about Running, Wellness and Healthism

Our theme this month is partly a continuation of last month’s topic, because there is still so much unlearning to do when it comes to how Running, Diet culture & Weight Stigma intersect.

"Many folks have deeply destructive relationships with food & running as our cultural understanding of health becomes increasingly about control, shame, rigidity, aesthetics, and innate self-worth."

As we close in on the new year, we all know there will be so many harmful messages masquerading as "Wellness"…

Our hope is to find ways to overcome those narratives with this discussion so that we can continue to Trust and connect with our Bodies on a deeper level.

Sharing with you more about Intuitive Running and Eating practices along the way.

Run: Join PLR Toronto Leaders Melissa and Michelle, for a fun and festive 5km run through Kringlewood! (Feel free to dress up in festive holiday wear!).

Keep in mind... we meet you exactly where you’re at (no need to be a pro runner) — just come as you are,

Meet: Impact Kitchen Summerhill

Time: 10:00am

Brunch: Impact Kitchen Summerhill

Discussion: Running, Wellness and Healthism (with our focus still on disordered eating behaviours/diet culture mentality)
