Introducing A Plus+: a double-bill workshop offering a chat and an activity as part of a safe small group. Think of it like the school holiday program for kids, but for plus size adults. Skills are waiting to be built! Friendships are waiting to be forged! Your people are waiting for you!

What’s on offer for this first session? It’s themed HARD + SOFT. While we adored all your guesses about pillows, candy and [redacted], here’s the actual deal:

Hard: We’ll work to understand and combat anti-fat bias in medical settings using a narrative and collaborative approach. Facilitated by Christie from Eat Love Live.

Soft: Learn to self-regulate using accessible seated and standing breathwork and self-massage. Facilitated by trauma-informed practitioner Jane from Ginkgo Embodiment.

What will you get from it?

Throughout the day, your thinking will be supported by a workbook that you’ll take home afterwards, as well as a collection of further reading and resources. This means you’ll have a purpose-built, personalised game plan full of resources and supports for fighting for the care you deserve and staying soft and regulated throughout. And the best bit? You’ll do it all with your people, making meaningful connections with folks who share similar experiences.

You’ll receive an A Plus+ Hard + Soft kit, which includes your workbook, further reading from AmpleFolk, AND swag from some of our brand pals.
