Here are the amazing members of the Visionary Art Intensive 2009.
Rosie gives instructions about how to create a sand mandala at the beginning of the workshop.
She asked that everyone set a good intention for the manifestation of CoSM as well as to hold their own personal prayers for their own creative evolution.

Omega Institute is celebrating the Grand Opening of the much anticipated Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL), an award-winning green building designed by Kansas City-based BNIM Architects, renowned for sustainable design.
The OCSL is a state-of-the art water reclamation facility and environmental education center that brings together wastewater recycling, clean energy, green architecture, and other sustainability elements that can be replicated locally and globally. The OCSL will provide sustainability education for students of all ages, including professionals, policy makers, developers, and the 23,000 visitors who come to Omega every year.
"The opening of the Omega Center for Sustainable Living is historic both for our campus and for our country," said Skip Backus, chief executive officer at Omega. "The OCSL demonstrates the critical intersection of environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and the new green economy. We are very proud to be at the forefront of this movement."
Nature's little angels greet one at CoSM Art Sanctuary. This evening, Zoe brought me a stag beetle she found crawling up Nan's leg, and my heart melted a bit. I hadn't seen a stag beetle in forty years, since I was a boy growing up in Ohio. Thought I might never see my little friend, the stag beetle, again. I played with him a bit, then set Mr. Beetle gently into the woods.
