Press release from Summit Marketing Group:
As part of its February “Love Your Body Month,” Epiphany Wellness Center will host a shredding party at the Center located at 542 North Oak Street at 6:30pm on February 11, 2020. Shredding machines will be on hand to allow participants the opportunity to shred diet books, calorie counting diaries, and other documents associated with dieting and disordered eating. Epiphany will also be collecting used clothing that people have been trying to fit into using dieting and other dangerous methods. The items will be donated to a local charity.
Epiphany is proud partner with the iaedp (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals) WNC Chapter, YAM (Yoga and Massage), and the Henderson County YMCA to educate the community about positive body image, the dangers of disordered eating, and Health at Every Size. Additional events will be held throughout the month at YAM, located at 410 South King Street in Hendersonville, and a presentation on Health at Every Size will be presented at 5:30 pm on February 11 at the Henderson County YMCA just prior to the shredding event.
