The Goddess was coming up.
Up her feet.
Up her thighs.
Through her womb.
The Goddess was coming up.
Up her heart.
Through her arms.
In her hands.
The Goddess was coming up.
Through her throat.
In her voice.

But her mind
sent a scream
down into her body.
Fear
scared the Goddess away.

Moon Body is a program within Eye of the Moon which offers a series of workshops to help adolescents develop a positive body image.

Through meditations, sound, movement, theatre, dance, storytelling and creative writing young girls (and boys in co-ed groups) explore the perception they have of their own body and learn to inhabit their body.

In these workshops Corazon draws the teachings she learned from the
Path of the Swan through her teacher Maria Mar, and brings these teachings into a program geared towards young people and towards the prevention of anorexia and other eating disorders.

In the workshop Corazon presents key scenes from
CuerpOdiosa to start the group journey and inspire the youngsters to express their truth creatively.
In Moon Body (Cuerpo Luna), the young girls learn to:

Discover energy blockages that steal their grace and genuine expression,

Track down the inner voices that reflect the internalized female body image distributed by the media,

Observe how these images affect their self-esteem and to develop a critical eye that screens media messages, and

Understand the physical and emotional changes going on during puberty and how these changes affect their body.
