This training is geared towards people who experience body-based oppression such as fat people, trans and non-binary folks, people with disabilities and those living with chronic illness. For those of us who inhabit bodies that are politically, medically and socially oppressed and experience barriers, this training goes over the power of body sovereignty and what body autonomy and healing can look like. Through the lived experience of the trainer, who is superfat, disabled, and Two Spirit, they describe through stories, photos and artwork their continued journey of body sovereignty. This training can focus on the path to healing and body sovereignty or the training can focus more on walking participants through reflection questions for their own healing journey. Therefore this training can be more of a workshop feeling than training depending on the needs of the organization.

This training is often connected to the Body Sovereignty training as it goes deeper into ways that people who experience body-based oppression can build skills to better navigate health systems. Using Shilo's own "So You Want To Be On Team Shilo" document as a starting point, they discuss how they created this document they give to all their providers. The document goes over Shilo's pronouns, identities, and other demographic information that's important for the provider to know. Then it goes through specific wording to use for Shilo's body and words NOT to use. The bulk of the four page document goes over specific and clear guidelines for providers in upholding Shilo's health and wellness. The document ends with Shilo's health and wellness goals, their skills, talents and resources and other important information. The training then helps participants walk through reflection questions if they would like to make a document for themselves or just to become clearer on how they want to be treated by their providers. Shilo has a free Word document template for participants to use if they would like.
