Big ideas in intimate spaces
In a world dominated by other people’s opinions, Salon gives you the knowledge to form your own.

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.
“Is there such a thing as a winning mindset and if so, where can I get one? Why do we get nervous, and what should we do about it? What’s the deal with mindfulness?”

Join Dr. Peter Olusoga as he demystifies the art of mindfulness into actionable results, sheds light on the pitfalls of ‘grind’ culture and highlights the benefits of embracing ‘unproductivity’ in the pursuit of living well.

Dr Olusoga is a Chartered Psychologist, Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Sport Psychology consultant with over 15 years’ experience, and joins Berwins Salon North this February to propel us into a more productive 2024.

His current research focuses on burnout, well-being and sustainability in high performance environments, with a particular focus in sports and elite coaching. He also produces and hosts the award-winning podcast, Eighty Percent Mental and champions that ‘the thing that separates the great from the good is the ability to understand what’s going on between your ears and to use that to your advantage.’

Explore the risks, benefits and possibilities of a future shaped by our own creations as Tech Expert and Entrepreneur Nigel Toon guides us through the ever-evolving landscape of Artificial intelligence and how it affects us in everyday life, in many cases without us even realising.

Keep your eyes peeled for line up announcement for our third speaker.
