MEMBERSHIP
Full membership is by referral.
The best way in is to show up.
Wanderwell is a community first. Full membership comes through a referral from a current member — which means the best thing you can do is come to an event, meet some people, and see if this is your kind of place. We think it will be.
How to become a member
There's no application. No waitlist. Just show up somewhere we are, meet the community, and let things happen naturally.
Step 1
Get Curious and subscribe to the newsletter
Our free Curious membership is a weekly newsletter. It tells you when and where our public events are happening every month — those are the events you’ll want to show up at.
Step 2
Come to an event — or tour the workshop
We run public events every month. Come to one. Or stop by either workshop any day we're open for a walkthrough — no appointment needed. This is where you meet the community.
Step 3
Get a referral from a member
Step 4
Join as a Full Member
Full membership requires a referral from someone already in the community. Meet people at events or during a workshop visit — referrals happen naturally when the fit is right.
Once you have a referral, joining is straightforward. We send you a link for $125/mo, cancel anytime. If you don’t like our vibe, we’re not going to make you hang out with us for longer.

THE FASTEST WAY IN
Come to something. That’s it.
We run public events every month at both locations — open to anyone, free to attend, no membership required. This is where the community gathers, and where referrals happen most naturally.
Happy Hours
Meetups on the first Wednesday of every month. Good people, cold drinks, and whatever's on the lift.
Oil Change Night
Our marque event. Once a month we lubricate a few cars while everyone else sits around laughing at the mess. It’s a good time.
Workshop Tours
Stop by during our normal hours and get a tour from any of our members. Someone is always here to help.
“The Basics” Classes
Meet our members during these hands-on classes while learning a new skill. Or at least raid our fridge.
