Parenting, Passion and Perseverance
Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking event where three remarkable speakers explore the complexities of relationships – between parents and children, between partners, and within ourselves.
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason shares her family’s extraordinary journey of raising world-class musicians while navigating the challenges of race and identity in the public eye. Dr. Tom Bellamy, neuroscientist, delves into the science behind romantic infatuation. Parenting expert Anita Cleare equips parents with evidence-based strategies to build trust and maintain open communication with their teenagers, even through the most challenging phases.
Three expert speakers deliver TED-style talks designed to challenge perceptions and change your life for the better. Showcasing the most stimulating ideas in arts, science, and history, each scintillating speaker has the challenge of engaging their audience within a 25-minute set, interspersed with intervals where you can chat, get a signed book from the speaker, or grab a drink at the bar.
Voted number six in the ‘Top 100 Things to do in the World’ by GQ magazine, Salon is a night out that will enlighten, entertain, excite your curiosity and change your life for the better.
