About us

Open Water Salon is a discussion group for curious people who like talking about interesting ideas and learning from other people.

Instead of reading full books, we’ll use shorter material like essays, articles, short stories, talks, interviews, excerpts, and research pieces.

We’ll talk about psychology, social justice, ethics, technology, culture, science, identity, human behavior, consciousness, and other topics.

You don’t need to know a ton about the topic or come in with a perfectly formed opinion. The hope is to think through things together, ask questions, hear different perspectives, and maybe leave understanding something a little differently than you did before.

**It’s not a debate club, and everyone does not have to agree.** The group is meant to feel open, kind, thoughtful, and relaxed.

Personal experiences are welcome, but no one is expected to overshare or get super vulnerable with a room full of people they just met.

Hope to see you soon :-)
