Nourishment is more than just food—it is deeply intertwined with our histories, identities, and resilience. In times of instability and crisis, ensuring we are properly nourished means we can engage more meaningfully in collective action and better support the well-being of our communities.
In this session, participants will explore the many layers of nourishment through the lens of Body Liberation. Drawing from Indigenous knowledge and ancestral practices, we’ll reflect on our personal food journeys and examine how colonization has shaped the ways we eat, think about our bodies, and relate to cultural food traditions. Together, we’ll explore how reconnecting with cultural foodways can foster deeper self-awareness, community connection, and liberation.
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to…
Define body-liberated nourishment and explain how our cultural foodways strengthen identity, belonging, and community resilience.
Describe the impact of colonization on food systems, body image, and cultural eating practices.
Apply a decolonial lens to their relationship with food and explore ways to integrate ancestral traditions into daily life.
Use storytelling to build deeper connections between food, culture, and community.
