The Beautiful Human 2.0

The teachings of the Buddha encompass profound insights into the human experience, including the challenges posed by diet culture. Central to his philosophy are the three infatuations: the preoccupation with youth, health, and an extended lifespan. These obsessions persist in contemporary society, affecting individuals even 2600 years later.

However, there exists a path to reclaiming a healthy relationship with one's body—one that transcends obsession and fosters an appreciation for the body as an invaluable asset for experiencing life fully. This approach encourages a shift in perspective towards food, cultivating gratitude rather than fear, and emphasizes the creation of lasting values beyond the superficial changes of the physical form.

In this context, ""The Beautiful Human"" stands out within the Buddhist and mindful recovery landscape for its targeted focus on healing issues related to chronic dieting, disordered eating, and body dissatisfaction. This program introduces participants to the 10 Qualities of a Beautiful Human Being, providing a framework for rediscovering one's authentic self through the cultivation of supportive virtues.

The accompanying materials include a comprehensive 54-page ebook and audio course titled ""The Beautiful Human: Contemplative Wisdom for Moving Beyond Diet Culture to Create a Life of Real and Lasting Beauty."" Upon joining, members gain access to an online community dedicated to recovery—facilitating learning, personal development, and practical guidance. Ongoing support features chat capabilities and new mindfulness training offered monthly, alongside occasional retreats and workshops.

For clinicians, specialized Professional Plans are available. These plans offer resources such as dedicated peer support chats and additional training opportunities. As noted by Christie, ""Clients of every size need a clinician of any size who is at home in their own body."" This underscores the program's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for both clients and practitioners.
