About us
Welcome to the Wisdom Tree Forum™ Orange County, a vibrant community for Southern California residents passionate about discussing a wide range of topics curated to touch upon important aspects of our lives. Our topics will mainly cover (but are not limited to) the following aspects of life: Philosophy, Psychology, Relationships, and Emotional Intelligence.
We believe education is a lifelong process that doesn't end with schooling and doesn't necessarily come from teachers alone. One of the aims of our group is to create a community that is open and keen on learning from one another, sharing experiences and thoughts that may lead to learning opportunities for others.
We are not only about thought-provoking discussions; we are also a social group. Our events will blend the best of both worlds—intellectual discussions and social interactions—to provide members an opportunity to connect with other members and the community on a deeper level. Our social events will include fun card games, movie nights, art walks, brunches, hikes, talent shares, networking events, and more!
Our experienced facilitators and hosts will bring thought-provoking questions and concepts to delve into. While we don’t claim to solve life's most intricate questions, we offer a space for curious, sociable, and open-minded individuals to explore and enjoy an atmosphere of learning and mutual respect. We will also make positive and intelligent use of technology (such as AI) to enhance our events and create unique experiences.
Thank you for your interest! Whether you’re eager to engage in discussions on critical topics, expand your network, enjoy happy hour drinks while exploring diverse cultures, or simply meet new friends, the Wisdom Tree Forum™ is your go-to community. We're a collective dedicated to learning, growing, and enjoying our time together. Looking forward to welcoming you there!
