Booking a Membership Call is a required step for all prospective members as part of the application process.

What do base events look like?

A Circle is unique to Base, an experience like no other. You’ll gather with a small group of members to dive into fascinating, thought-provoking topics - the kinds of conversations we rarely make time for in everyday life. Each Circle is centered on a theme curated by Base. When you arrive, envelopes on the table guide your group through questions and prompts that spark meaningful, in-depth dialogue. It’s an intentional space to step outside small talk and connect with people on a deeper level.

An Experience is designed to connect you through discovery, learning, and shared adventure. You might join a tasting, a workshop, a wellness activity, a cultural tour, or even a volunteering opportunity - all set across your city. Each Experience is crafted to spark connection by inviting you to try something new, explore a skill, or discover a new part of your city. Experiences are a chance to step outside your normal routine, and connect with fellow members through experiences that inspire curiosity, growth, and fun.
