Self-care is finally taking its rightful place in our zeitgeist. It may feel like a relatively new part of the conversation. Yet ideas about self-care can be linked back to the Greek philosophers of Ancient Athens and traced through the philosophy of Michel Foucault and activism of Audre Lorde. In a time when self-care is often re-packaged as a bubble bath or scented candles, let’s go back to our roots. Join us to explore how self-care has evolved in modern times, what we may have lost in the process and the importance of self-care for our self-prioritisation and self-esteem.
