Why Magnetism in San Francisco?
The Bay Area's wellness market is shaped by tech wealth and tech burnout. Our San Francisco students disproportionately come from software, biotech, and venture capital — people whose work is highly cognitive and whose post-career pivot is often deliberately embodied. Pricing power for graduate practitioners is among the highest in our network.
For students of Magnetism specifically, San Francisco's scene is a particularly good match: tech-driven student profile. highest pricing power for graduate practitioners in our network. The local cohort runs in venue partners around Mission, Hayes Valley, SoMa, with public transit and parking accessible from across the metro.
San Francisco students are often 30-48, with backgrounds in tech (software engineers, product managers, venture capitalists in active career questioning), biotech, and consulting. They are highly educated, well-paid, and often have mature personal contemplative practices already. The post-tech pivot is real and growing — recent cohorts have included multiple students who have left FAANG or YC-backed startups to pursue holistic practice as a second career.
What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Magnetism as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
Magnetism is a hands-on energetic practice with European roots, particularly French and Belgian, that traces its modern formulation to the work of Franz Anton Mesmer in the late 1700s. Although Mesmer's specific theory of "animal magnetism" was scientifically discredited, the practical hands-on tradition he initiated was refined and continued by generations of practitioners — particularly in France, Belgium, Spain, and parts of South America — and remains a vital wellness modality in those regions today.
A magnetism session looks deceptively simple. The practitioner stands beside the seated or lying recipient and uses a series of slow, intentional hand movements — passes, sweeps, transfers, localized contact — to support the recipient's energetic regulation. Where Reiki tends to settle the practitioner into a still, neutral state, magnetism is more dynamic: the practitioner is actively giving, drawing, sweeping, redirecting. The traditional descriptions speak of giving fluide, drawing it back, redistributing it.
