HYPNOKINK BAY AREA
Community and Education in Erotic and Recreational Hypnosis
Deep Dive SF is a two-day gathering focused on the development of hypnokinksters’ skills and creativity above all else. Passionate hypnokinksters are invited to nerd out with like-minded folks at an intimate weekend of workshops and social time. Join us in celebrating curiosity, community, and craft in a setting where everyone's unique perspective is valued.
From 11:30am-6:30pm Saturday and Sunday there will be workshops and group hypnosis activities. Saturday night we’ll host a play party, and the weekend will close with a Salon where you will have the opportunity to demonstrate something you're proud of. Daytime events will happen at Mukunda Studio (1250 Folsom,) evening events at other venues in San Francisco. Please note that attendees will need to organize their own accommodations.
Share your knowledge! We’re looking for a mix of workshops centering around heavy theory, niche or “edgy” topics, immediately-useful skills, or fun, participation-driven activities. You are encouraged to think beyond the usual hypno classes - nothing is too esoteric. Each workshop or activity should include some form of participation from the attendees.
Submit a class proposal. Don’t be shy! We can provide all the assistance you need to make your workshop or activity successful.
Tickets are $220-$300 for the weekend, including all workshops and evening events. 40 tickets are available, and our hope is that everyone will be there for most, if not all, of the weekend. We ask that everyone be present for the welcome circle and group consent agreements Saturday morning. We cannot pro-rate tickets for anyone who may need to leave before Sunday evening. Financial aid is available - please contact us. Register here.
This is an event for people who love to stretch themselves to become more thoughtful and skilled hypnotists and subjects. "Active beginner" hypnotists/subjects and beyond are welcome. There will be no programming designed for those who are brand new. Absolute beginners are encouraged to build a knowledge base by attending HKBA events and other hypnokink conventions and classes before September 2026! A consent orientation will be mandatory, but Deep Dive attendees should already know the basics of both general kink consent culture, and hypnokink consent specifically. We require that all attendees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

As always, you are welcome to get in touch with any questions you may have.
