The Olio Lighthouse, a social club for lifelong learners plans to open its doors in the heart of Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. September 2025.

After 10 years of bringing Olios to rooftops, bookstores, galleries, and living rooms around New York City, Think Olio is finally opening the doors to its first-ever permanent home: The Olio Lighthouse. To mark this turning point, we’re inviting 50 people to become Lighthouse Founding Members—the core crew that helps us get this space off the ground and shapes what it becomes.

As a Founding Member, you’ll be a co-creator of a new kind of cultural venue. Your membership includes a limited-edition Lighthouse hoodie, priority access to all events, and a special invitation to our opening night party on September 19.

We’re offering just 50 of these memberships to begin with, and they’re designed for those who believe in what we’ve built and where we’re headed. If that’s you, we’d love for you to be part of it.

Why did we start the Lighthouse?

Our society is moving towards divisiveness and isolation, and we are being offered technological conveniences in place of holistic connection.

In the face of this changing world, we’ve seen that getting together with open-minded people is fulfilling, gratifying, and expansive for the lives in our community.

Joining our community means that you are dedicated to reviving sacred aspects of our culture, namely conversation, art, and being together.

CREATIVE


A welcoming community that values “mischief over mastery” when it comes to making art.

LEARNING


Embracing new perspectives and expanding our worldviews.

UNLEARNING


The humility to change one's mind and a willingness to let go of long-held beliefs.

BODIES


Learning as a somatic experience that is more fun and integrated in each other’s physical presence.
