Body Love Open Mic

What is the Body Love Open Mic?
It's an open mic with a theme! The theme is bodies and body liberation.

With so many messages coming at us every day saying our bodies are not good enough, we can choose to respond by actively seeking out counter messaging. The goal of the Body Love Open Mic is to encourage the truth inside us that says “actually, your body is worthy, radiant, and inherently valuable just as it is."

Hosted by:
Body liberation coach and musician Talia Cooper
Singer-songwriter and teaching artist Eli Conley

Performers will share songs, stories, poems, and performance art pieces about the inherent worth of all bodies.
