This article is an account of a small-scale qualitative research project which seeks to understand how women who are long-standing members of church communities might view and value their bodies, and how they resist, accommodate or subvert the many "shaping" discourses that impinge upon them in contemporary society. This research was motivated by concern for the extent of violence against women present in all cultures and addresses the question of whether it is possible, in this situation, for women's bodies to be re-visioned as sacred. It describes how creative methods, group work and life-history interviews were employed to allow participants to express and share their experiences of embodiment, and to reflect on them and the interface between their everyday lives and their religious/worship experience
