Holistic Wellness Issue
WELLCOMING 2023
As much as we’re enjoying this time with friends and family as the roar of the holidays kicks in, the truth is we’re very much looking ahead to the new year. We’re ready to reset!
We’re thrilled today to announce a new slate of programs to “WELL-come” 2023. We're partnering with local practitioners to deliver restorative offerings to start the year on the right foot — full of health, wellness, self-care, and love.
We'll kick off our 2023 lineup with the first of our Salon Curators collaborators: Sneha, a Lawrenceville-based wellness collective.
Rooted in spiritual liberation and collective healing, the women-led studio is made up of 40 practitioners specializing in everything from Ayurvedic massage, energy work, and meditation to sound healing, birth services, yoga, and more.
Together, Sneha and The Salon are partnering on a series of 9 events that will introduce a variety of modalities to help women feel their best mentally, physically, energetically, and spiritually.
Our programming collaboration is the perfect way to bring our communities together to educate, uplift, and support each other in 2023 as we tap into our inner selves.

Women Be Well Series!
Introducing our Women Be Well Series in collaboration with Sneha Yoga & Wellness Collective. Join us on nine Thursdays from January to March in their beautiful new space in Lawrenceville. We’ll explore intuitive eating, restorative and mindful movement, sound healing, ecstatic dance, massage therapy, and much more.
Sneha’s two-hour programs will bring together a community passionate about building healthy habits while discovering unique practices.
Their approach to wellness doesn’t focus solely on the mind or the body. Instead, Sneha takes a holistic view, one that understands our mind, body, emotions, energy, and soul as well as our past, present, and future are all interconnected.
Commit to all 9 sessions, select 5, or drop in to whichever is convenient. Please note: Classes are limited to 16 people so register now to secure your spot!

The Salon is a place to dabble in the unknown. We provide an admittedly eclectic (but community-led!) range of programming. One week, it might be an academic discussing the gender pay gap. Next, it might be wine tasting and hipster puzzles. Indulge in new things with us! And if it makes you a bit nervous, that might be a good thing. Find out for yourself what we’re all about.
Explore Salon-specific programming centered on topics, activities, and conversations that most appeal to and resonate with women and those that identify as women.
Break out of your routine and hang out at our HQ every Friday. Spend an hour, an afternoon, or the whole day basking in the feel-good energy. Catch up with women and friends in The Salon community, take advantage of free coffee and a snack at Field Day, or bring your laptop for a change of scenery during your work day. If the mood hits, we may even make our way to the rooftop for a bird’s eye view of the changing leaves. Register here!

Join Miror and The Salon for a holiday toast and an end of year reflection in community with each other. The holidays can often be surrounded by chaotic and hurried energy. Yet the winter months are a time to slow down, go within, and reflect. As we near the solstice, please join us to spend some intentional time to slow down, enjoy the company of the women you've met at The Salon, and to share your reflections on the past year and your aspirations for next. Register here!
Who says you need liquor to make a mean cocktail? Join The Salon and Mel Babitz, owner of the non-alcoholic beer, wine, and spirits shop The Open Road, for a mini mixology class minus the booze. We'll learn how to craft a scrumptious concoction, then send you home with all the details so you can make it for yourself to wind down after work or impress your friends at your next dinner party. Register here!
