                          ... looking for healthy events, groups, workshops


                          I AM is currently offering healthy living workshops, community events and outings, 12-step workshops to individuals, groups, and treatment facilities.

                          Our events help individuals recovering from eating disorders learn how to live well and thrive! From daily living personal skills, such as shopping for groceries or clothes, to learning how to have fun through our knitters club and adventure outings, to professional skills, such as building a resume and searching for a job or apartment; I AM offers events  to help you meet others exactly where you are right now or who are further along in their recovery journey.

                          We also created a 12-step curriculum that helps those who are interested to learn more about what the steps are, and how to implement them in your daily lives. These workshops are 2 days or 12 weeks, usually on a weekend. The curriculum helps individuals to build a recovery foundation.

                          Our belief is that each one of us can learn the tools we need to live better than ever before and re-discover the beauty of living. I AM's aspirational and inspirational techniques do more than help you learn how to embrace the unique and wonderful person that you are, we endeavor to empower you to become the person who you've always wanted to be.
                          Please contact us for more details!

                          Events

                          Knitters Anonymous San Diego
                          It’s held at a womens home, where those who have an eating disorder hang out, watch movies, socialize, and knit. We help each other with knitting projects and if anyone doesn’t know how to knit, we will teach you. The hours are flexible, but it’s pretty much from 1.00pm- 4.00pm every Sunday.
                          For more information contact Christina T. (917.494.1345)

                          EDAC (Eating Disordered Adventure Club)
                          This was developed for those of us that isolate, but love to explore at our hearts.  We go to tidal pools, Balboa Park, Encinitas, ice skating, movies, yarn shops; we are planning trips to Death Valley, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon (for the spring).  There are no dues or anything, but some of the excursions do have a cost.  The club meets on Saturdays from 12.30-5.00pm usually, although the hours sometimes vary.  All are welcome. 
                          Please contact Christina T. (917-494-1345) for more information or ideas.
