From April 18th-May 16th, we'll be channeling Jupiter's final weeks in Taurus into a collective effort to grow beyond fatphobic narratives and expand into Fat Liberation! Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, and at Cosmic Healing we recognize Jupiter as Thee Fat Planet. Deemed the Great Benefic, Jupiter brings abundance, indulgence + good fortune, encourages us to seek out new information and experiences, and provides joy and protection to us all.
We'll discuss themes related to Jupiter and how they have influenced and been influenced by fatphobia, as well as how they can be used to celebrate our fat experiences, and fat liberation for us all. The main themes we'll be focusing on our personal and collective experiences of fatness and the intersections of systems of oppression in relation to religion/faith + philosophy, protection + health, and travel + culture. We'll ground these conversations in our own study of books such as Belly of The Beast by Da'Shaun Harrison, Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings, and Fat On, Fat Off by Clarkisha Kent. We’ll also pull from personal experience and sources brought by fellow group members.
For this program, our primary goals for the collective will be:
♃ Understanding how Jupiter is connected to fatness and the fat body, and using its connection to expand our perceptions and ideas in pursuit of Fat Liberation
♃ Building confidence in your knowledge to combat fatphobia, and feeling equipped to start shifting the perspective of your communities
♃ Seeing the connection between Fat Liberation and the liberation of all oppressed people
Given the different experiences and relationships that fat and non-fat folks have to Fat Liberation, we'll holding two separate groups. Please refer to slide 5 if you’re unsure of which group you’d fit into.
kay will also be providing Jupiter-specific chart readings at a special price for those participating in the program. If enough people are able to pay at the high-end of the sliding scale, they will be providing these Jupiter readings for free to interested folks in the fat group.
REMINDER: Fat is NOT a feeling!! the diet/weight loss industry is $90 billion—it profits off of making you believe that you’re fat, but are you? if you’re unsure where you would fit in, here are some experiential questions that may help you understand which group to sign up for: do you ever need a seat belt extender? do you avoid travel altogether due to stress over your size? are you forced shop in a certain section of a store or online? do you move ya belly in order to do some yoga poses? do most towels leave you greatly exposed? do you feel the need to research weight capacities? If you answered “yes” to some of these questions then please feel empowered to join the fat group with Erica Joy
