Dear San Francisco is the critically-acclaimed intimate and immersive circus experience created by Bay Area natives and The 7 Fingers co-founders Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider. Since opening in September 2021, Dear San Francisco has entertained over 100,000 locals and visitors. The production invites locals and visitors alike on a heart-stopping romp through both the essence and the myth that has San Francisco indelibly etched on our collective imagination. From the 1906 earthquake and Summer of Love to beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life through a series of tableaus (acts), including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank, juggling, and “hand-to-trap” (a form first created by Shana Carroll), performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats.

Yoga Flow SF - Ocean

A Clinically Supported Integrative Experience
IM ketamine is administered and supervised by licensed medical professionals through Quantum Integral Healing Arts
Sound meditation guided by Yoga Flow SF Co-Founder Steven Holm
Join us for a medically supervised ketamine-assisted therapy session supported by a refined form of sound meditation using pure overtone instruments. This experience is designed to calm the nervous system, quiet cognitive activity, and support emotional processing, insight, and integration. This experience follows established medical safety protocols and is fully supervised by qualified healthcare professionals.
This offering is not recreational. It is a carefully structured, therapeutic container that integrates modern medical care with evidence-aligned contemplative practices.
 The Role of Sound
Sound meditation in this experience is a primary therapeutic element, not a background enhancement.
Pure overtone-based instruments are used to naturally quiet the analytical mind, entrain the nervous system, and guide awareness into a state of deep presence and internal coherence. This style of sound meditation is widely experienced as profoundly calming and internally organizing on its own.
When combined with medically supervised ketamine therapy, sound can help soften psychological and physiological defenses, allowing for deeper emotional release, insight, and a more cathartic and meaningful healing process while maintaining a strong sense of safety, support, and containment.

Questions about the experience? Please reach out to Quantum Healing NP, Sean Luong: seanl.quantum@gmail.com or (415) 915-7548&nbsp;<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/138848/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Using the margam (a structured, traditional repertoire of a Bharatanatyam dance performance) as a timeless framework, this solo performance weaves personal memory, mythology, and spiritual inquiry to explore lineage and the evolving voice of an Indian American artist.Musicians include: Asha Ramesh (Vocal), Malavika Walia (Nattuvangam), Sruti Sarathy (Violin), Ashwin Krishnakumar (Flute), and Amit Ranganathan (Mridangam).$25-$35 (Event is free for 'Friends of Abhinaya members').Presented by Abhinaya Dance Company

Pure overtone-based instruments are used to naturally quiet the analytical mind, entrain the nervous system, and guide awareness into a state of deep presence and internal coherence. This style of sound meditation is widely experienced as profoundly calming and internally organizing on its own.
When combined with medically supervised ketamine therapy, sound can help soften psychological and physiological defenses, allowing for deeper emotional release, insight, and a more cathartic and meaningful healing process while maintaining a strong sense of safety, support, and containment.
 Clinical Support
A licensed physician, nurses, and therapists are present throughout the entire experience, ensuring medical oversight, psychological safety, and professional care at all times.
Intended Therapeutic Outcomes May Include • Reduction in anxiety and depression • Relief from chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation • Increased emotional clarity and cognitive flexibility • Support for trauma processing and post-session integration • Enhanced capacity for presence, regulation, and resilience
About the Approach
Ketamine-assisted therapy is increasingly used in medical and psychiatric settings for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. When administered in a medically supervised environment, ketamine can temporarily reduce rigid thought patterns and habitual psychological defenses, creating space for new perspectives and healing.
In this experience, sound meditation is used not as entertainment or ceremony, but as a clinically supportive contemplative practice. Sound helps stabilize attention, regulate the nervous system, and support integration during and after the therapeutic process.
This offering bridges modern medicine and yogic contemplative practice, honoring both clinical responsibility and the body’s innate intelligence for healing.
Ketamine has been used in medical settings since the 1970s and is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has been safely administered to both adults and children for decades.
In recent years, it has also been used in carefully supervised therapeutic settings for mental health treatment. When administered by licensed medical professionals with proper screening and monitoring, it has a strong safety profile.
 The Journey (3 Hours Total) Opening &amp; Grounding (45 minutes)
We begin with a short talk to ground the group in safety, meaning, and intention: • Explain how and when medicine is administered • Introduce all medical and support staff • Answer questions and establish a shared field of trust • Dharma-style talk, guiding participants in how to listen to sound as a contemplative practice while bridging modern neuroscience and timeless spiritual wisdom. • Connection to our heart space and our intentions
Sound Meditation + Ketamine Experience (90 minutes)
• As the sound meditation begins, ketamine is administered intramuscularly by the medical team at individualized doses. • Participants are supported continuously by clinicians while immersed in pure-tone sound frequencies designed to guide, steady, and deepen the experience.
Landing &amp; Integration ( 45 minutes) • After the sound journey concludes, ample time is given to rest, reorient, and gently return. • Some participants take longer to fully land, and we honor this without rushing. Quiet presence and compassionate clinical oversight remain throughout.
This is a devotional offering to stillness. A meeting place between science and spirit. A reminder that healing does not always come from effort, but from surrender, resonance, and being held well.
We look forward to welcoming those who feel called into this field of sound, medicine, and mindful care.

Lesher Center for the Arts

California Symphony’s season finale concerts feature Rachmaninoff's dazzling piano concerto, Borodin's dramatic symphony, and a world premiere. The performances include the third and final commission for the California Symphony by Resident Composer Saad Haddad, whose music explores the relationship between the West and the East and has been praised by The New York Times for “achiev[ing] a remarkable fusion of idioms.” 
Sofya Gulyak, First Prize winner of the 2009 Leeds International Piano Competition, takes on one of the most celebrated and challenging concertos ever written – Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 – often called the “Mount Everest” of piano concertos for its legendary degree of difficulty. The concerts conclude with Alexander Borodin’s Symphony No. 2, composed intermittently between 1869 and 1876 due to the demands of the composer’s primary career as a chemist and physician. The work is filled with dramatic energy and rich melodies inspired by Russian folklore – a bold, heroic sound that combines mighty rhythms with lush orchestral textures. 
California Symphony takes the stuffiness out of the concert experience: Take selfies at the photo booth, order a signature cocktail, and sip at your seat. Tickets include a free 30-minute pre-concert talk by award-winning instructor Scott Foglesong, starting one hour before the show.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com

Free 20-Minute Photo Coaching Session with Camera or Lens

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
