When
is your body going to be "good enough"? What does it take to feel good about your
body, regardless of its size or shape? Inspired
by the Century Project, this workshop offers you simple
yet powerful breathing, movement, and writing exercises to make peace with your
body and receive the many gifts it's ready to give you. This
event is for women who want to boost their body confidence as well as for counselors,
health care providers, yoga teachers, and bodywork therapists. Eat
only lightly before the workshop and come dressed to move! The
Century Project, the work of photographer Frank Cordelle, is an exhibit of
nude portraits of women and girls from the moment of birth to nearly a hundred
years of age. The
series of photographs presents women of many shapes, sizes, and life experiences.
Moving personal statements, written by the women themselves, accompany the images. The
exhibit takes place at Western Carolina University in the University Center's
Multipurpose Room from Monday, April 7 through Wednesday April 9. The exhibit
is open to the public from 10 am to 8 pm each day; admission is free of charge. The
photographic portraits are also presented in Frank Cordelle's book, Bodies
and Souls: The Century Project (Heureka Productions, 2006).
