Manifesting. Big Magic. The Law of Attraction. There’s no denying that whatever you call it, using your mindset to bring your desires into reality is having a moment. But what if your life experiences so far have demonstrated the exact opposite? What does manifesting look like if you’re not white, thin, traditionally pretty, or able bodied?

In her latest book, Candice Brathwaite tells us exactly what it looks like. Following her inspiring address at our Young Innovator Awards back in May, Brathwaite returns to the club, this time in conversation with Bafta-winning cultural producer Tobi Kyeremateng, to present her game-changing approach, led by four pillars of Seeing, Believing, Doing and Being, to show that manifesting can be for everyone.

Join us for an illuminating evening, offering ways to find contentment in your everyday and unlock the life you deserve. Copies of Manifesto will be available to buy from Round Table Books on the night.

Candice and Tobi’s conversation will begin at 6:45pm but please join us from 6pm for music from Our HeartBeats.
