The Body is a Gift

Hilary and Eleanor talk about body in image and sensation in this episode, ranging from practices of life drawing to drawing our own symbols of beauty to define it. We talk about Eleanor's life-drawing and writing event, learning to feel the body as a sensory companion, and an altar of trust building. We touch on themes of compliments, comparison, and the complications of love with this body of a lifetime. Questions we explored:Do you think our sense of beauty is innate or learned?What happens when women see each other without comparison — just with presence and artistry?How did life modelling impact your concept of your body?Tips on how to nurture a positive relationship to your body.
