Why Join Our Bodies, Our Stories?
Our Bodies, Our Stories is a 6-part reflective circle in collaboration with The Body Vessel Collective that turns the lens inward — not to fix your body, but to understand the stories it has been carrying.
In a country where bodies are constantly commented on, corrected, measured, and moralised, this series creates a supportive space for teenagers and young adults who are struggling with body-image to pause, unpack inherited narratives, and rebuild their relationship with body, food, movement, visibility, and self-worth.
From school uniforms that didn’t fit right, to “shaadi-ready” comments, to doctors who blamed everything on weight, classroom shaming to Instagram reels that quietly messed with your head — most of us grew up absorbing messages about our bodies without ever questioning them.The series blends conversation, writing, metaphor, body awareness, and collective witnessing.
At the end of the series, walk away with language, tools, and inner clarity that allow you to relate to your body from truth instead of shame.
Here, we ask:
- Which beliefs about our bodies were never truly ours?
- What have we been taught to fear, hide, fix, or apologise for?
- And what becomes possible when we choose truth and compassion instead?
Because your body is not a problem to be solved.
It is a story worth listening to.
What to Expect?
- Interactive and experiential group conversations
- Breakout room reflections in small, safe groups
- Guided writing and narrative-reframing exercises
- Visualization activities
- Tools to respond to body comments, food pressure, and social bias
- A compassionate, confidential, and judgement-free space
Across six carefully held sessions, participants are invited to reflect, share, and reimagine their relationship with their bodies—without diets, before-and-after language, or pressure to “transform.” This is not a fitness program or a weight gain/loss space. It is a meaning-making space.
Each session stands on its own, while also building toward a deeper personal narrative:
- From early body memories to everyday micro-battles
- From food guilt to food freedom
- From representation on screen to representation within
- From movement shaped by shame to movement guided by safety and joy
- From fragmented stories to a self-authored, embodied truth
Prerequisites
- You are 15- 25 years old
- You resonate with body image struggles and want to process body shaming
- Willingness to participate with openness and honesty
- Commitment to confidentiality and creating a safe space for all participants
