About us
The San Diego Brain Club is now operating for its 16th year! We are AN IN PERSON GROUP--meeting in person to have the experience of social connection and all of the benefits to us and our brains. The Brain Club is an exciting group of curious individuals aimed at those people who have a brain, and want to learn how to use it well. We hope to appeal to those who share an interest in personal development, how they think, react to stress and grow their mental abilities.
Looking for new brains to share our enthusiasm and dynamic group learning environment!
Hope to see more of you in 2026--bring a friend and discover your brain's infinite capacity and wonder!
We maintain high standards for new and existing members, so please be sure you are familiar with our guidelines before applying for membership.
It's a lively close group who embrace new voices...we meet in a private, artsy home, filled with plenty of brain stimuli to engage and awe!
