☀️🌙 Autumnal Equinox Celestial Celebration ☀️🌙
An evening of live music, sacred ceremony & visionary art at CoSM
Twice a year, the earth aligns in perfect balance with the sun — and CoSM marks the moment with one of our most beloved gatherings of the year.
Equinox and Solstice celebrations honor the polarities of light and dark, the crests and troughs in the wave of time. As we notice the turning of days into months into years, we're reminded of life's impermanence — and invited to celebrate the preciousness of right now.
This year's Celestial Celebration begins with spoken wisdom on a worthy topic, followed by an evening that unfolds into:
🎶 Live electronic & downtempo music
💃 Ecstatic dance
🔥 Fire circle & fire spinning
🎨 Live painting from a showcase of visionary artists
🙏 A ceremony led by Alex Grey & Allyson Grey
Throughout the grounds, expect the full CoSM tapestry: projections on Entheon, tarot readers, palmists, face painters, and group sand mandalas — plus Entheon, the Grey House, and the Mushroom Cafe all open for the day.
