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: Our Bodies & Body Image

What do you love about your body and what do you hate about it? And why have we been conditioned to think our bodies are never good enough just as they are? Share with us your struggles and stories all about your body.
