I attended The 2026 Boston Lymphatic Symposium in February. William Repicci of the Lymphatic Education And Reaearch Network was kind enough to treat the Symposium participants to the first screening of a movie called Jodie’s Body. A warm and touching narrative of Jodie a larger than life model. There was a discussion amongst the audience after the screening which included thoughts feelings and introspective comments about the definition of the body beautiful and the body as an art form.

What a fabulous experience to have been a part of.
