Honoring our human experiences is one of the most important things for us to do as human beings — our inherent dignity deserves our care and respect.
The San Francisco Contemplarium is a new community institution dedicated to honoring our human journey here in San Francisco — through programming, physical offerings, capacity-building, and professional services. Made by and for San Franciscans, the SF Contemplarium serves the public across diverse backgrounds, practices, and beliefs.
Many of us yearn to honor our human journey—the experiences that make us human. Yet we are missing space for honoring our experiences, at least one that’s accessible and authentic to many of us. What if we created the space to support how we honor our human journey in San Francisco?

The best way to keep on top of upcoming events and programs.
It’s a doubleheader on Sunday, November 17! Come for the regular monthly Reflection Jam, then stay for the seasonal Fall Ingathering. (Or just join one or the other.) 🍕🍕 Pizza dinner will be served in between the two events, so make it an evening if you can.
This Sea Lion Moon, reflect on the last month over an evening of guided journaling and sharing, to the rhythm of cozy lofi beats. You'll honor your personal experiences of the last month with a series of reflection prompts and end with a simple intention ritual. More details here. Stay afterward for 🍕pizza and the Fall Ingathering (below)!

The Fall Ingathering marks the culmination of the Season on Encounter (Aug–Oct), a moment to honor our encounters with loss of all sizes, great and small—people, hopes, objects, chapters of life. Through this honoring, our loss transforms into memory, story, and ancestorhood—the stuff that helps us remember who we are as we embark on the Season on Origins (Nov–Jan).
Through a series of rituals (altar-building, listening circle, salt dropping), we’ll enact the turn of the season together. You’ll have different ways to engage meaningfully, with group and solo options. More details here.
