You can walk the path…
and you can dance along the way
Daily we swim in an ocean of acronyms so let’s just be clear about what ME-CL stands for:
Mindful Eating-Conscious Living.
Simple.
Anyway you read it — Mindful Eating Conscious Living or Mindful Living Conscious Eating — it’s about the same thing: being awake and aware so that we can fully enjoy everything about being alive, including eating.


ME-CL is an 8-session program that focuses on helping people re-establish a healthy and joyful relationship with food and eating. This program has been designed by experienced mindfulness practitioners/instructors who work with people struggling with disordered eating and body image. After listening to the experiences of thousands of people who find that dieting does not work, and finding a similar consensus in the medical literature, the instructors have made a responsible commitment not to advocate diets or focus on weight.
Throughout the program mindful eating exercises, simple meditations, gentle movement, helpful information and discussion lay down a path that if taken in small steps, can lead to knowing how to better take care of yourself.
