Renewal Lounge

Weekly Self-Care Respite

The Renewal Lounge is a welcoming, low-barrier, community- and peer-led space where women and gender-diverse individuals can connect, relax, recharge, and build community in a safer, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment. Participants can enjoy hair styling, nail care, makeup, movie nights, games, and other fun and relaxing activities. The Lounge also creates opportunities to connect with local organizations and community partners that promote physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness through workshops, activities, and shared experiences.

When: Fridays, 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Where: Vancouver Women’s Health Collective, 29 West Hastings Street, Vancouver

Renewal Lounge (1)
Weekly relaxation for all self-identifying women and gender diverse persons.

Trauma-Informed Connection and Care

Rooted in trauma-informed care and peer support, the Renewal Lounge offers a comfortable space for social connection, self-care, creative activities, refreshments, and a variety of community support not offered during our regular drop-in hours.

More than just a place to gather, the Renewal Lounge promotes dignity, belonging, empowerment, and meaningful connection. Participants are encouraged to engage at their own pace, build relationships, explore new interests, and contribute to a supportive community where everyone is valued.
