returning ...

to our bodies through breath, song and dance

bode lu, an evidence based alternative practice, path and community to inspire healing the body soul mind and spirit connection in recovery from Eating Disorders. 


Bode, short for Bodhisattva.  Bodhisattva in Buddhism originating from Sanskrit, meaning 'enlightened/awakened in their being' supports the other to achieve the same.  Lu, short for Luz, meaning 'Light' in Spanish and Portuguese.  This light is within us all and we can feel this light to be diminished or even 'put out' by an Eating Disorder, Body Dysmorphia, Loss and Grief, Disenfranchised Grief, Soul Wounds, Mood Disorders, Relationship Traumas, Addictions, Chronic and Acute Traumas and much more. 

At bode lu, we weave and establish a constellation of evidence based expressive arts and standard practices from the 'bottom up', consisting of rituals, relationship to self, body positivity and neutrality, soul and spirit with nature, creative movement and song, together tailoring a holistic and spacious community of individuals, couples and families in recovery.
