Unstarved

$155.00

Let’s have a different conversation about nourishment.

Many women have been taught by diet culture that nourishment is something to earn, control, or “get right.”
That hunger is a problem to manage.
That rest, pleasure, and care are indulgences instead of your birthright.

And caring for yourself turns heavy with obligation.

Unstarved is a half-day, in-person retreat inviting you to gently unravel those messages, and to reconnect with nourishment as a lived and felt experience, foundational to your very being. 

This retreat is for women who sense that something deeper has run dry, has been depleted.  

What do you long for?  What is needed to return you to wholeness, vitality, and your joy in living?

In a teaching conversation, Julia will share on the often unseen forces shaping our relationship to food and nourishment. Together, we’ll explore the difference between needs and wants, why intuitive eating can feel unattainable, and how attachment and trauma influence our relationship to our bodies and their cues, like hunger, fullness, and desire. 

We’ll gently unpack why nourishment is not just about food, but about safety, and how the nervous system must feel supported in order to receive.  

Through accessible, grounding practices that invite regulation and presence, we’ll explore nourishment not as a rigid set of rules, but as relationship - a dynamic dance between you, your body, your heart, and your environment. Drawing from both the wisdom of yoga and Western psychology, this experience offers a compassionate path toward nourishment, satisfaction, and deeper self-connection.

We will weave experiences of mindful somatic inquiry, gentle breath practices, organic movement inspired by yoga & dance, therapeutic teaching, connection & discussion, ritual, and a nourishing sound bath to close — curated to help you drop from the mind into the body and (re)discover your body’s wisdom, and what truly feeds you.

This retreat is for you if you’re longing to…

  • feel more at home in your body.

  • quiet diet culture’s noise and reclaim your inner authority.

  • release shame around food and body.

  • feed what has been depleted

  • revive your vitality

  • experience nourishment as joyful & easeful.

  • reconnect with community and shared humanity.

  • learn tools to regulate and support your nervous system.

  • cultivate self kindness and quiet your inner critic.

  • approach self-care with gentleness rather than pressure.

You may leave feeling…

  • more connected to your body.

  • more regulated and grounded.

  • more resourced with somatic practices.

  • more able to receive nourishment — not just food, but joy, rest, beauty, and connection.

  • more empowered to reject harmful cultural narratives around bodies and wellness.

  • more inspired to continue a journey of deep self-awareness and authentic care.

Come as you are; no fixing, no performing.
Leave feeling resourced, in body, nervous system, and spirit.

If this speaks to you, trust it. Step into this slow, connected space, where nourishment becomes an act of liberation.
