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.

Donate
We are a non-profit organization with no full-time staff. Donations go directly to services such as hosting salons, maintaining communications, and creating podcasts. We have partnered with an umbrella 501(c)(3) organization (OGCM) to ensure anything you give is tax-deductible. Unlike OGCM, Oak Guild is not explicitly religiously affiliated, and we encourage people from all backgrounds and beliefs to join us. Besides money, there are other ways to help out. Please contact us if you want to volunteer.
