Description

Guests gathered for Poetry Springs at Alchemy, a one-of-a-kind immersive experience where poetry and music met the ritual of relaxation. 🧘‍♀️🎵

Decentered Arts curated the entire evening with live performances—a poet reading inside the social sauna every 30 minutes, while the beautiful sounds of a violinist echoed through the garden. The night unfolded as a magical community experience centered on rest, creativity, and connection.

Hosted at Alchemy Springs, guests explored one of San Francisco’s newest social spa oases. The outdoor sauna garden featured a 40-person communal sauna with immersive sound and lighting, cold plunges, a fire pit, thermal benches, and open-air shower walls designed by award-winning architect Olle Lundberg.
