Space Overview

Take Our 40-Second Virtual Tour

  • HeartLab’s 1,000-square-foot main room is a blank canvas for connection and creativity. With soft lighting, high ceilings, and beautiful natural textures, it’s equally suited for workshops, performances, retreats, sound healings, or dance events. The space can comfortably hold up to 60 guests filling the different areas, offering flexibility for gatherings both intimate and expansive.

  • Affectionately known as the “Cuddle Couch” this large daybed area is the heart of HeartLab. It can seat up to 15 people and doubles as a stage for performances or ceremonies. Draped in colorful pillows and soft fabrics, it’s a perfect nook for conversation, connection, or cozy community moments.

  • The daybed converts easily into a raised stage. Just remove the top mattresses and pillows to reveal the platform.

    For seating:

    • 25 floor BackJacks can be pulled from under the bed

    • Couches + chairs provide comfortable back seating

    • Performers can use our 4 high-quality folding chairs

    We also offer mics, stands, and hands-free options for presenters, musicians, breathwork leaders, or anyone who needs to move freely.

  • Above the main floor, our lofted nook offers a more intimate setting for small group conversations, private healing sessions, or one-on-one meetings. It’s a quiet corner away from the energy of the main room — ideal for reflection, rest, or deeper connection.

  • The kitchenette makes hosting easy and comfortable with a mini fridge, microwave and kitchen supplies. Whether you’re setting up refreshments for a workshop or preparing snacks for a longer retreat, it’s a functional and welcoming addition to your event.

  • Guests are welcomed into HeartLab with warmth and intention. The entry lounge and tea station create an immediate sense of arrival — a place to slow down, make a cup of tea, and connect before stepping into the main space. It sets the tone for the grounded, heart-centered experience ahead.

  • Our clean and elegant bathroom is conveniently located near the main event area for guests’ ease and comfort throughout your event. It’s also stocked with feminine products, hand lotion, rosewater spray and eucalyptus hand sanitizer.

    Please note: There is one bathroom, so plan breaks or transitions accordingly for larger groups.

  • Located in the vibrant Mission District of San Francisco, HeartLab is surrounded by art, culture, and community. We’re easily accessible by public transit, close to great cafes and restaurants, and nestled in one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.

    • Review this Info Page

    Once you’ve looked through those resources, if you still need to see the space in person, we’re happy to schedule a tour.

  • Does HeartLab Host Public and Private Events?

    Yes. HeartLab welcomes both community-facing public events and private gatherings (birthdays, celebrations, ceremonies, off-sites, workshops, etc).

    Food & Drink

    Yes — you’re welcome to bring what you need.

    Our preference is light refreshments or hors d’oeuvres, rather than full dinner parties.

    To protect our rugs and furniture, we ask that:

    • You set up food on the hardwood floor area near the entrance, using our folding tables.

    • Guests enjoy snacks in that area rather than eating throughout the rugs or lounge zones.

    Do I Need Rental Insurance?

    HeartLab does not require rental insurance for most events.

    If you are a practitioner or facilitator, we do recommend having your own general liability insurance to support your professional work.

    What Are the Music / Noise Guidelines?

    Music is welcome — including DJ sets, performances, and dance events.

    We ask that:

    • Music stays at a loud-but-still-conversational volume to honor our neighbors

    • Weeknight events lower volume after 10:30pm

    • Weekend events lower volume after 11:00am

    After 11:00am, you’re welcome to switch to Silent Disco and dance as late into the morning as you’d like.

    Do You Support Recurring Groups or Long-Term Rentals?

    Yes — we love hosting:

    • Weekly classes

    • Biweekly circles

    • Monthly gatherings

    • Year-long trainings

    • Multi-day retreats
