Location: Online, Live via Zoom (link will be shared with ticketholders)

Six Tuesdays, April 19-May 24, 6-7:30pm ET

In a world where marginalized bodies are most vulnerable to the oppression of diet culture, self-attuned eating is an act of resistance. Our relationships to food and body do not develop in a vacuum. This online six-week intuitive eating course for the public explores how Western culture disrupts self-attuned care for marginalized bodies as a means of social control. Through intuitive eating, we reclaim and rediscover a more authentic relationship to ourselves.

WTCI has been a pioneer in teaching and advocating for intuitive eating since 1981. Over the last forty years, we’ve developed an approach to food and body that is anti-diet and firmly rooted in psychological theory, intersectional feminism, anti-racism, gender inclusivity, fat positivity and anti-colonialism.

Course instructor Susan Gutwill, MA, LCSW trained as a sociologist, received her master’s degree and learned to think critically about class, neo-colonialism, race, and patriarchal heteronormativity. She received her MSW at Rutgers University while working as a clinical social worker for a progressive labor union. She is on the faculty at WTCI and at The Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in NJ. Since the early 1980s, she has written, lectured and taught about trauma, eating problems, abortion and psychoanalytic activism.
