OGI is a community of people pursuing knowledge and exploring relevant and difficult topics together. We host salons in the San Francisco Bay Area and publish podcasts. At OGI, we believe learning often comes through loving – even if contested – dialogue with people who may have diverse opinions or experiences.

Salons

Over Dinner ~ On a Hike ~ At a Beer Garden

Salons in 18th century France were a place of intellectual discourse on topics of the day. We strive for something similar by creating friendly & engaging spaces for conversation. All are welcome!

Podcasts

Life of the Mind Podcast

Curiosity is explored through unique experiences and diverse perspectives. Jake Chacko, our primary host, interviews guests on a variety of topics that expand our minds and challenge our assumptions.
