At the Bahala Foundation, we're on a mission to break down the invisible walls that divide our daily lives, starting on the Westside. You are invited to drop in and join our new weekly tradition of gathering every Friday from 10am-1pm at the Colorado Center.
We've created a warm, inviting space where the lines between work, leisure, and community naturally blur. A place where freelancers, remote workers, local business owners, and residents come together, finding common ground.
For those of you who are working on projects, feel free to bring your laptop and concentrate in a quiet area.
If you’re in the mood to chat, there will be a separate section. And of course, feel free to flow between the two depending on your interest and workload.
You’re also welcome to join us to grab lunch from 12-1, if you’re otherwise busy working and/or parenting, but have a small window.
Bahala isn't about forced networking or manufactured quirkiness. It's about genuine connections and the simple pleasure of being part of a community. Making connections and meeting in-person is one way to build community from the ground up. To that end, feel free to bring friends ~ our goal is to create an eclectic group.
So join us, grab a drink at Elabrew (or bring your own) and rediscover the joy of spontaneous, real-world interactions. At Bahala, we're brewing community, one conversation at a time.
