Thalen Kirell

Thalen is the smooth-talking, ageless club owner behind Soma, a newly launched nightclub situated on the top floor of an 8-story building in the Plaza Exchange District of OED V — a busy zone known for its mix of food stalls, commerce, and nightlife.

After months of quiet renovations and curated mystery, Soma has opened as a traditional nightclub with modern flair. It features:

- A public dance floor with lighting and sound engineered for sensory immersion - Lounge booths and a VIP mezzanine with limited access - Two “emotion rooms” with color, sound, and scent modulation, accessible by request - A rooftop patio complete with: - Gas fire pits and plush seating - A low-lit infinity pool for lounging - A compact grill offering simple, flavorful fare

• A fully stocked bar with custom cocktails and mood-oriented teas

By day, Thalen discreetly operates as an unlicensed self-help counselor. Using terms like emotional recalibration, pleasure-mapping, and cognitive clarity, he offers “guidance sessions” to select individuals — usually held in the mood rooms or private lounge alcoves. His services are marketed as “non-therapeutic emotional alignment coaching.”
