Flourishing Minds is a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary gathering, organized by Healing Arts Switzerland in partnership with the Women’s Brain Foundation.
Bringing together scientists, clinicians, artists, and the wider community, the conference expands the conversation on women’s health beyond symptoms — toward lived experience, prevention, and wellbeing.
At its core, the event explores a central question:
How can we better understand and support women’s brain health through both science and art?
On June 25 in Geneva, we open a space where neuroscience meets creative expression, and where research enters into dialogue with human experience — creating new perspectives on health and care.
Focus
The conference addresses women’s brain health across life stages, including:
- hormonal transitions
- mental health
- gut–brain interactions
- cardiovascular connections
By combining scientific insight with artistic and experiential approaches, Flourishing Minds promotes a more holistic and human-centered understanding of wellbeing.
