Salon Series

Sponsorship + Supporter Opportunities

Support thought leadership in Santa Barbara

Tell the Truth is a live salon series in Santa Barbara, hosted by Dr. Diana Hill

Each event brings together thought leaders, authors, artists, and cultural voices for intimate, truth-telling conversations about what we are not saying out loud—and what becomes possible when we do.

This is not a traditional lecture series. It is a curated, in-person salon experience designed for depth, intimacy, community, and meaningful visibility.

Sponsors and supporters help make the series possible. In return, are seen as thought leaders, supported of human-centered events, and make Santa Barbara a healthier, more progressive place. They have direct access to the people, leaders and organizations who are making things happen in our town, and become the heart and soul of it.
