Elevating Intimacy - Exploring the path of Tantra, by Gather SF

Sunday, October 19, 2025 · 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm PDT · Decentered Studio

On Sunday, October 19, 2025, Decentered Studio will open its doors for Embodying the Miraculous – Group Hypnosis Journey, an immersive experience designed to awaken the extraordinary within everyday life.

Guiding this journey is Samira Ghassemian, a spiritual hypnotherapist and healing guide whose path began with her own quest for transformation. Drawing from hypnotherapy, Reiki, somatics, and her studies in shamanic medicine, Samira will lead participants into a luminous state of focused awareness where the subconscious opens, old burdens soften, and new possibilities emerge.

Through gentle therapeutic guidance, the group will ground into the body, release what dims their sense of wonder, and attune to the infinite light within. The evening will unfold with intention-setting, a guided hypnosis journey, and space for integration, allowing each participant to reconnect with inner peace and the miracles already present in their lives.

This gathering will be both grounding and expansive — a collective exploration of healing, transformation, and awakening.

Improvisational Dance Class: an Eco-Somatic Experience

Saturday, October 25, 2025 · 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm PDT · Decentered Studio

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, Decentered Studio will open its doors to a gentle yet transformative journey: Improvisational Dance – an Eco-Somatic Experience.

Guided by somatic educator and dancer Serena Pickett, the class will invite participants to rediscover the wisdom of their bodies in deep relationship with the natural world. Drawing from over a decade of experience in dance and her background in environmental studies, Serena will weave together movement, breath, and imagination to dissolve the illusion of separateness from nature.

Through playful improvisation and guided dance scores, movers will explore how the rhythms of the earth live within their own bodies. The session will be a space of curiosity and freedom—where participants can release tension, nurture their nervous systems, and reclaim joy through embodied expression.

Serena’s teaching, rooted in intuition and artistry, carries the influence of ballet, contemporary dance, and somatic practice, but her focus remains on creating spaces of connection, compassion, and play. Her choreography often speaks to environmental justice, and her classes open a doorway into healing and re-enchantment with the world around us.

Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and arrive ready to move, breathe, and create. This is an offering for all levels —no dance background needed, only a willingness to listen to the body and explore.

The Samadhi Experience

Thursday, October 30, 2025 · 6:45 pm - 8:45 pm PDT · Decentered Studio

On October 30th, Decentered Studio will transform into a sanctuary for The Samadhi Experience—a two-hour journey into divine consciousness. Through breath, movement, sound, and guided meditation, participants will be invited to dissolve the noise of identity and rest in pure awareness.

Leading the experience is Dr. Amaliny Yoganathan, a Tamil Siddha Yogi whose path bridges neuroscience, psychotherapy, and ancient mysticism. With her voice, presence, and healing frequencies, she will guide the group into states of deep rest, heart-opening release, and radiant clarity—where the boundary between self and spirit begins to dissolve.

This evening promises to be more than a class—it will be a sacred encounter with stillness, surrender, and the vast expanse within.



The Samadhi Experience

On October 30th, seekers will ENTER Samadhi—guided by Dr. Amaliny’s breath, sound, and stillness into pure divine awareness.

Embodied Manifestation: Release, Realign & Receive

Sunday, November 9, 2025 · 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM PST
Decentered Studio, 1175 Folsom Street, San Francisco

This November, Decentered Studio will open its doors to a deeply transformative experience — Embodied Manifestation: Release, Realign & Receive — a somatic healing journey led by Anna Bolender, a renowned Somatic Embodiment and Intuitive Life Coach dedicated to guiding people back to their bodies and inner wisdom.

In this immersive two-hour workshop, Anna will invite participants to go beyond vision boards and affirmations, revealing that true manifestation begins within the body. Through gentle breathwork, grounding practices, emotional release, and intuitive movement, you will explore how the nervous system holds unprocessed emotions and limiting patterns — and how releasing them can open space for love, abundance, joy, and freedom to flow in.

Anna’s approach blends somatic healing with energy work and intuitive coaching, creating a nurturing space where participants will realign with their deepest desires and become an energetic match for the life they wish to create. Whether you seek fulfilling relationships, vibrant health, creative opportunities, or a deeper sense of freedom, this workshop will guide you toward receiving with ease and grace.

Come dressed comfortably and bring a journal to capture reflections that may arise. Together, in community and movement, you will step into the version of yourself already living the vision you hold within.

Guided by Samira Ghassemian — a spiritual hypnotherapist and healing guide rooted in shamanic tradition — participants will embark on a profound past life regression journey, traveling beyond the boundaries of the present to meet the echoes of who they once were.

Through gentle hypnosis and guided visualization, Samira will lead the group into the deeper layers of the subconscious, where hidden memories and soul imprints await. These glimpses into past incarnations will serve as keys to understanding recurring patterns, dissolving fears, and reclaiming the wisdom your spirit has carried across lifetimes.

Whether you come with curiosity or conviction, this immersive experience will offer an opportunity to release what no longer serves you, illuminate your soul’s purpose, and awaken a deeper sense of peace and clarity in your present life.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat — and if you wish, a journal to capture the revelations that unfold.
