 Body Acceptance Retreat
 
Nick  wrote on the 26 September 2005   
 
Hello everyone. I've reached a place in my life where I need to accept my body and myself for what it is. I'm mid 40's and overweight with several body image problems going on inside me. I'm wondering if anyone has come across a good reputable retreat where I can work some of these issues through. I did hear of a week long retreat in Scotland where the entire time was spent naked. Any ideas?

Thanks, Nick

A workshop or retreat of that type sounds a bit extreem, maybe see a psychotherapist who can support you through the self image stuff and in time with that kind of support try an intensive workshop.
