Olito Social Club: The Trust Fall

​Think Olio is an ongoing experiment in lifelong learning. We are a community of open-minded people who gather to exchange ideas with new friends and connect over art, literature, and philosophy.

​Olito is the Friday night social club born out of our community, giving us a place to gather each week. You're always welcome, whether you come solo or with friends - the vibes are communal and thoughtful.

​​For this Friday's Olito, we will dive into the themes of Trust and Surrender. It's OG Olio member, Bennett's birthday and to kick off his 35th birthday we wanted to explore the idea that in times of transition, surrendering to the process, flow, nature (whatever you choose to call it) can be one of the most difficult yet rewarding experiences. It's counter-intuitive to let-go when things seem the most uncertain in our lives but it can open us up to possibilities we couldn't have fathomed otherwise.

​And yet, during times of difficulty on the political or social justice level, surrendering can be dangerous and we need to exercise resistance, right? Let's talk about it!

​All are welcome! We'll create the conversation cards so all you have to do it show up, be open, and surrender to the Olio process of making new connections <3

​What to expect:

​8-9pm: This is the time to arrive, get settled and order some amazing pizza and a first round (the kitchen closes by 9pm).

​9-10pm: This hour will be facilitated with a new conversation prompt every 10 minutes based on our theme giving you a chance to meet all the lovely folks in the room. (Ofc this is optional and there's a great backyard space if you don't want to participate)

​10-11pm: Free flowing hang out time

​11pm: Get those numbers! You don't have to go home, but you've gotta let us close down the bar because some of us have school on Saturday morning. You've got new crushes and new friends and you're riding the high of creating new community. See you next week!

​​Ethos of the Olito wine bar <3

​​In a community effort against the isolation and political nihilism we can sometimes feel in this city, custom-made conversation cards on communal tables invite guests to explore culture, creativity, and connection with strangers at our social club / wine bar.

​​We dream of a phone-less bar. We won't tell you to put it away but our hope is that the vibe will be so good, you won't even remember you have an instagram.

​​Come support and bring that good energy so we can keep this thing going and grow roots for our Olio community <3
