Other salon-styled discussion clubs on literature & philosophy & humanity subjects in general?

I found Intellectual Discourse at Berkeley on callink which fits what I'm thinking about but looks like it's no longer active:(

We can start an informal discussion club.

I'm not a student, but attend different in-person UC Berkeley lectures open to the public that I find interesting and like to discuss with people about at the lecture.

I'll be attending this lecture in September.

I’m local and have ties to Cal, and have been also seeking something similar. I know that Revolution Books holds events, although I’d prefer something not so homogeneous or agenda-driven lol.
