Body Image Creative Arts Workshop

Love Your Tree: Body Image & Creative Arts Workshop is an inspiring body image campaign based on the work of feminist writer Eve Ensler. In her play, The Good Body, Ensler listens to a wise African woman describe the natural beauty of trees and urges her to stop hating her body and appreciate the diversity of her beauty. Julia Andersen, MA, ATR-BC, will be present to give a discussion on body image and lead the creative arts workshop, where participants will be able to use the provided art supplies to create their own image of loving their tree. This workshop will take place on Thursday, November 5th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. in University Union, Room 206.

The TU Body Image Peer Educators (BIPE) are also available to conduct Love Your Tree workshops upon request. Please contact Amy Van Arsdale at avanarsdale@towson.edu for more information and to request your own Love Your Tree workshop.
