“"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own." - Audre Lorde

The Beautifull Project has always been dedicated to body liberation.

Liberation from expectations about size and shape.

Liberation from the forces that silence our voices and shrink our appetites.

Liberation for the sake of creating a world where every BODY belongs.

But we cannot create that world without engaging in work that explicitly seeks to deconstruct white supremacy. And so that’s the work we begin now.

Join us for a special, 5-week Full Circle series that will invite us to critical self-reflection, conversation, and most importantly, commitment to being a part of the change.

Have you ever wondered why the first and most important thing a woman is told to be is beautiful?

Ya, us too.

So, let’s shift the story. Together.

Let’s look at new ways to understand our bodies as instruments, not ornaments. Let’s consider all of the things our bodies can do and discover new ways to see ourselves through a lens that looks at all of who we are.

Join us for the The Full Circle conversation and celebrate the end of Eating Disorders Awareness week by contributing to conversations that could actually end the Eating Disorders epidemic. Optional dinner to follow.

Oh yes… we said it. And we meant it.

The month of love is right around the corner (thanks for that, Hallmark), and we are about to be buried in hearts and chocolates and often-painful reminders about the reality of our relationship with passion and pleasure.

So, let’s talk about it. Let’s settle in around the table to explore the roots of our relationship with passion and pleasure and see if we can’t find a little freedom together… from the bedroom to the boardroom and everywhere in between.

New year, new you... NOT HERE!

You are about to be BOMBARDED by messages reminding you that you are not enough.
And we are having none of it.

Instead, The Full Circle is going to make some space for you to begin believing that there is not a damn thing about you that needs to be changed.

You are not a project to be tackled or a body to be fixed or a problem to be solved.

You are enough. Exactly as you are. So, join us for some solidarity as we fill the table with a little wisdom and kindness and insight.

Mamas, we hear you.

We know you want to invite your babies to a better understanding of their bodies.

But WANTING to do it and actually having the tools to do it are two different things, so we thought we would give you a place to come lay down the burden and pick up a trick or two.

Join us on November 4th for the next session of Building Body Trust where we will sit around the table and share our collective wisdom about teaching these babes how to love themselves through and through.

CoworkQC (102 E. 2nd Street, Davenport, IA) Conversation at 5:30. Optional dinner to follow.

Hustle. Grind. Believe. Achieve.

This is the mantra of the modern working woman. Everything we’ve ever wanted is well within our reach if we just reach hard enough, far enough, fast enough.

But is all of this hustling leaving us exhausted, desperately craving the fullness we find in genuine human connection? Do we really need another self-improvement project? Or is it more likely that what we really need is a nap?

Join The Full Circle on October 7th to explore the concept of healing our relationship with rest as a key component to building body trust. As always, dinner to follow!

September Session: Building Body Trust - Hunger

Do you trust your appetite? Do you believe it is okay to feel FULL?

Or are you more inclined - like most of us - to believe that your hunger, your cravings are not to be believed, but governed by diets and fasting and counting and measuring?

During this session of The Full Circle, we are going to fill up on the wisdom of the women around the table, tell stories about our lived experience with hunger, and walk away with a renewed sense of trust in ourselves.
