Toronto · Now accepting founding members

A social club for young adults in Toronto to meet via analog experiences.

We curate phone-free experiences across the city — so you can meet people, try new things, and live more offline.

Matt and Arianna, founders of Touch Grass Social

A note from the founders

We started this because we needed it ourselves.

Hey — we're Matt and Arianna.

We're starting Touch Grass because we felt a gap in our own lives. We were spending too much time on our phones, too much time inside, and not enough time out doing fun things in the city or meeting people.

When we talk to our parents about being our age, the stories sound different. They were always out of the house. Hanging out with their friends. Going dancing. Going to concerts. Doing things. They had a social fabric we don't really have anymore.

We started Touch Grass to bring some of that back.

This is a club for analog experiences — pottery, pickleball, hikes, dinners, painting, whatever else makes sense. Phones go in a basket at the door. The whole point is to actually be there, with other people who chose to be there too.

We're starting in Toronto. We're starting small. We're starting now.

If this resonates, we'd love to have you.

— Matt & Arianna

Membership

Here's what you actually get.

We're being honest — this is V1. We're starting with the core thing and growing from there. Here's what every member gets:

🌿

Events on a monthly basis

Curated analog experiences across the city. Some examples might include pottery, pickleball, hikes, dinners, or painting nights. Some are hosted by us. Some are hosted by other members. Most are activities you wouldn't do on your own.

✦

A phone-free experience

Every event is analog. Phones go in a basket at the door, or you leave them with the hosts. The whole point is to actually be there.

🤝

A digital space to coordinate

A members-only space where you can RSVP to events, message other members, and propose things you want to host. We'll keep this lightweight — the goal is to get you offline, not online.

The point isn't drinks and small talk. The point is to do things you wouldn't do alone, with people you'll actually want to see again.

Who it's for

This is for you if:

You're in your late 20s or 30s and live in Toronto
You want a fuller social life than the one you have
You're tired of staring at screens all day and want to spend evenings doing something else
You want to try new hobbies but don't want to do them alone
You'd rather meet people in person than swipe, match, or DM

You don't need to be lonely to join. You just need to want more.

Founding Membership

Help us shape what this becomes.

We're starting with a small founding cohort. As a founding member, you'll:

Get access from day one
Help shape the events, the culture, and the rituals
Have the chance to host your own events, build your own circles, and bring your own friends in
Lock in founding member pricing for life

We'll do most of the heavy lifting in the early days. But this only works if the right people show up at the start. If this resonates, we'd love to have you.
