Reclaim the power that has been going into food

This class offers a different place to look.
What if some of the focus and energy going into food is the very energy you need to imagine, create, push back, make demands, take up space, desire, protect yourself, change your circumstances, and bring force to bear in the world?
Together, with real support, we’ll practice stepping out of the cycle, staying with what comes up, and discovering what wants to get created with that energy and focus instead.
-- Start Date: Dec 1, 2026 / Limited class capacity --
Long before you had a say, you absorbed messages from your family and the world around you about food, bodies, weight, beauty, sex, race, age, desire, and what makes a person worthy.
Some were spoken outright. Others were communicated through looks, approval, rejection, jokes, silence, advertising, relationships, and who was allowed to take up space.
Some part of you adapted. Another part of you didn’t.
The part of you that didn’t adapt, keeps pressing from the inside, looking to shatter the implanted structures that bind you to this conditioned world.
That pressure can be disruptive. Uncomfortable. Even frightening.
But what if it is also generative?
What if something in you is trying to break through a rigid worldly conditionings so that something new can arise?
Overeating can interrupt that arising generative force. Staying loyal to this seductive field of conditioning.
We reach. We eat. The pressure subsides. We return to the familiar adaptation.
For a while.
Then the pressure builds again.
And we reach again.
An endless, closed loop.
We call it a lack of willpower.
But what if what we’re lacking isn’t willpower at all?
What if we’re lacking an understanding of how to bring your generative force to bear in the world?

It’s about creating enough room for someone new to emerge
Under the right conditions, psychedelics can open a space that is difficult to reach by other means — a living encounter with the material that has been quietly running the show underneath compulsive behaviour and the looping tendencies that effort alone cannot break.
Often what lies beneath addiction and compulsion is not a character flaw or a lack of willpower, but unmetabolized, symbolic material looking for a way through. Psychedelics, approached with the right conditions and container, can lift the lid on that material — and create the space for something new to emerge.
This is not about the psychedelic as a cure or a quick fix. It is about using it as a tool to open the potential space — where a genuine encounter with the in-between becomes possible.
We will be joined by Paula DeSanto, owner of a behavioural health clinic specialising in psychedelic-assisted addiction recovery, who brings both clinical expertise and hard-won personal wisdom to this territory.

Under the right conditions, sex can be a surprisingly useful space for exploring the cultural forces that govern our relationship with our bodies — the objectification, the ideals, the noise that drives so much of what we call health pursuits.
Often what lies beneath the chase for weight loss, beauty or physical perfection is not a personal failing but a cultural field that has quietly colonised our sense of self. Reclaiming agency from that field doesn’t have to be heavy work. In fact, if it becomes too serious, embodied health gets thwarted.
Sex, approached as a playground, offers a living encounter with our own projections and beliefs — about our bodies, our worth, and our desires. It can be a site for removing blockages and restoring jurisdiction over your own body in ways that are embodied, relational, and alive.
Roberta Dayal, Sex and Relationship Coach, brings both the expertise and the permission to go there.
