Through a range of networks and partnerships within community, schools and professional settings, and in collaboration with local organisations and Victorian and National peak bodies, BOWL offers regular opportunities to gather, discuss and learn about these issues and how, by making small steps locally, we can all make wider reaching changes to our objectifying and weight centred culture.

"The workshop flowed really well with the combination of elements and two facilitators. Loved that everything that we did was body-centric and targeted at self-love and compassion. You were both extremely professional and clearly have excellent knowledge of the subject. Thank you!!! "
