On Saturday, August 8th, members of CoSM convened for an unforgettable and historic first Full Moon Gathering at CoSM Art Sanctuary.
The creative spirit showed up in force in poetry, music, song, dance and wisdom.
The Full Moon is celebrated because it is a symbol of our soul and because it marks a time to celebrate fullness of spirit.
Many of us felt that we were part of something important, a movement, a stand, a declaration, a blessing.
Join us in building sacred space. Come build with us.
We will always look forward to seeing you at the next Full Moon Gathering.

Alex talked about the Four Levels of Interpretation using the temple as an example.
!) Outside the temple you get a glimpse of the surface and exterior of the sacred teachings
That is the superficial first level of interpretation.
2) Stepping inside the temple, attending the service as an audience member.
That is the second layer just inside of the surface.
3) The priest delivers the sermon. The embodied and living teaching is shared.
That is the third level.
4) The heart altar, the holy of holies, melting into oneness, is God Consciousness Itself.
This is the fourth level.
Nan, staff member and pianist extraordinaire, played Beethoven and Chopin like an angel.
If there is a beautiful unused piano out there, CoSM and Nan would be so grateful for a contribution.
