Theme of the Month: Liberation
Live Music: Nessi Gomes
Nessi Gomes is a British-Portuguese songwriter born on the island of Guernsey. Her music doesn’t try to lift you above life. It walks you straight into it. She writes with a quiet intensity, where beauty sits beside fear, where longing doesn’t ask to be solved, and where the darker corners are given air, not shame.
There are flecks of her Portuguese roots in the way she moves through feeling, the ache, the longing, the stubborn hope, but nothing about her is performance. She writes to know herself. She sings to stay honest. Music became the space where she could exist on her own terms, after years of feeling caught between cultures and never quite 'fitting' anywhere else.
Her debut album Diamonds & Demons opened a door. Since then, she has shared her work internationally, in rooms big and small, always choosing presence over polish, truth over pretence.
Nessi is currently writing her second album, leaning deeper into shadow, tenderness, and the quiet courage it takes to stay open in a hardening world.

Your Hosts: Alex Grey & Allyson Grey
Alex Grey
The Visionary paintings of Alex Grey articulate realms of psychedelic mystical experience, revealing interwoven energies of body and soul, love and spirit, that illuminate the anatomical core of each being. Alex's artworks on the nature of life and consciousness have reached millions through his five books including three monographs, the exhibition and extensive reproduction of his artwork, social media, live-painting and speaking appearances including a popular TED talk, plus his stage sets, animation, and Grammy award-winning album art for the rock band Tool.
Allyson Grey
Allyson Grey is a painter and social sculptor. The subject of Allyson's paintings is an essentialized world view, the artist's interpretation of the realms of Chaos, Order & Secret Writing. Chaos represents the material world, Order the interconnected realm of energy and light and Secret Writing the untranslatable language of creative expression. Allyson has long been an art educator, organization developer, editor and muse to artists worldwide. MFA, Tufts University.
Together, the Greys co-founded CoSM. Full Moon Ceremonies have been held by the Chapel since January 2003. Thousands of supporters from around the world have contributed to manifesting CoSM and the Entheon project. As long-time advocates of "cognitive liberty," the Greys have been embraced as important mapmakers and spokespersons for the psychedelic visionary realm. The Greys, with the CoSM team and over thirteen hundred CoSM Members, continue to develop CoSM, with Entheon as a heart center, a sanctuary of Visionary Art and sacred offering in the scenic Hudson Valley town of Wappinger, New York.
CoSM Full Moon Gatherings Explained
Since January 2003, CoSM has held an unbroken chain of Full Moon ceremonies that honor the importance of cosmic alignment, spirituality and creativity. We meet on this monthly high tide of the spirit because the Full Moon is a symbol of the Soul, a luminous circle reflecting a greater light, just as each of us are sacred mirrors of God's shining presence.
The Full Moon Ceremony, held in the Great Hall, Entheon, hosts inspiring short presentations from wisdom teachers, poets, musicians, spiritual friends of all faiths. Alex and Allyson share a presentation on the theme of the month and guests have the chance to offer a blessing or declaration to the community.
The performance ceremony adjourns and guests break for live music and dancing, socializing, visiting Entheon, the Mushroom Cafe and the CoSM Shop, gazing into an outdoor bonfire or an indoor fireplace, watching excellent fire-spinning, belly dancing, acrobatics, live painting and more. The evening ends with a closing ceremony and, in harmony with the creatures in our world, a group howl at the moon.
Entheon, the Grey House, and the Mushroom Cafe will be open.
