DESCRIPTION:      Please note: The Bay Area Radical Mental Health Collective is taking  
 a brief break from Free Skool Classes. We will be back with all new  topics 
 sometime in June. We'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, the support   group 
 continues every Monday from 6:30-8:30pm at the Berkeley Free  Clinic.    
 Also please join us this Sunday evening for:    A Radical Mental Health 
 Café Night about Food and Body Image          Food  represents life, 
 intimacy, and a fundamental connection with our  bodies  and the earth. Why 
 do so many of us have a damaged relationship  with  food, with feeding 
 ourselves, and with our bodies? Is it the  billboards  of skinny, 
 hardbodied people in love? The scientists who  convince us  that fat kills? 
 Doctors who blame every ailment, or  teachers who blame  every failure, on 
 our body size? The comedians in  fat suits, who know  racism and homophobia 
 are no longer funny, but fun  at the expense of  fat folks will be a box 
 office hit? The constant  onslaught of  commercials pushing diet pills, 
 diet programs, and non-fat  foods? That  little voice inside your head, 
 that claims if you only lost  some weight  you’d be a better person? 
 Where did that voice come from,  and why do so  many of us listen to it? 
 What happens to your body and  your psyche,  when you starve off a few 
 pounds for vanity, or for  health? If you’ve  ever counted calories or 
 gone on a diet, ever  struggled with   an eating  disorder or loved someone 
 who did, ever thought your body  wasn’t good  enough or judged someone 
 else’s, come join us for a  discussion about  our relationship to food 
 and our bodies. Food will be  prepared by the  BARMH Collective and Food 
 Not Bombs. Nutritious dialogue  will be  provided by    Marilyn Wann    Fat 
 Liberation activist and author of “Fat!So? Because You Don’t Have 
 to  Apologize for Your Size”      and      Beth Bernstein    therapist 
 and former producer and host of KALX’s radio program “Body  
 Language: the show about how you relate to your body”.
