CoSM Celestial Celebrations Explained:
Equinox and Solstice celebrations at CoSM honor polarities and the alignment of the earth with the sun, crests and troughs in the wave of time -- the longest and shortest days and nights of the year and the two days of balance and equivalence. When we notice the passing of the days, the months, the years, we contemplate impermanence, raising our awareness to the preciousness of life in the here and now.
At CoSM, Celestial Celebrations begin with spoken wisdom on a worthy topic. After the talk and discussion, the audience breaks. Then, look forward to some of the best electronic music, down tempo music, ecstatic dance, a fire circle, and fire spinning. Meet Alex and Allyson and enjoy live painting from a showcase of visionary artists.
Acrobats, belly dancers, projections on Entheon, tarot readers, palmists, face painters, group sand mandalas have all been part of the rich tapestry, the transformative tableau of uplifting offerings at CoSM Celestial Celebrations.
Entheon, the Grey House, and the Mushroom Cafe will be open.
Your Hosts: Alex Grey & Allyson Grey

Together, the Grey’s co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, 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 Grey’s have been embraced as important mapmakers and spokespersons for the psychedelic visionary realm. The Grey’s, 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.
