The Women’s Salon by the Heidelberg IWC is a monthly English-language discussion on current, changing and challenging topics all related to women. Intimate and inviting, this will be a place to learn more about the issues in our lives, culture and world, and a time where we can talk about them and share our own stories.

There is recommended reading, watching and/or listening resources for each session. Please note that while the Women's Salon is open to the public, it is a female-only safe space.

Topic: Self-Care & Unmet Needs

From mental and physical health to relationships and housework, self-care seems to be the solution for how you can "fix" your life. Join us to discuss your thoughts on how self-care is sold to us and explore how we can discover what we really need and how that makes us human.
