Totem Socials: Real Conversations, Not Small Talk

Join our community for relaxed socials in Los Angeles that are built around authentic conversation and real connection. Whether you’re new in town, looking to make friends, or just craving something deeper than the usual happy hour, this group is for you.

At our Talk Human to Me events, you’ll find happy hour specials, music, and optional conversation prompts that spark meaningful exchanges. No pressure, no pretense; just good vibes, good people, and space to share stories that matter.

Our community is growing, and while this Meetup group is new, the energy is real. Come join us, bring a friend, and experience a social that goes beyond “What do you do?”
