An incredible weekend of music capped off two weeks of @cosmicofest - and a whole lot of good vibes were felt by all. With huge thanks to our friends @tropicofcancerfestival @joefirstman and @cordovasband for convincing us that two weekends back to back wouldn’t be too much - you inspired us to go bigger and brought your maestro skills to create the magic. @timbluhm @duanebetts and @johnnystachela thank you for bringing your music to our town, and for your steady hands, warm support and cosmico spirit - you brought us together with music and it was beautiful. @gussiesdreamcorner you two make my world go round with your positivity and good vibes - and I checked with Eminem and he agrees that’s not a good song to drop ;) Thank you to @coyotesonoma for your fantastic venue and the warmth and support of your team. You are incredible partners. This kind of undertaking doesn’t happen without a tonne of effort and we had an abundance of love and support and hard work to bring these moments to life. Behind the scenes was an army of support of new and old friends - who showed up as they always do to make magic happen… food and flowers: @chefchard food and sisterhood: @kellydriscollgram Cousin vibes and rollies: @rileyjfinch & @emmacapern Venue setup, crew meals, and therapy @nova_goldberg_mft The Cosmico wreath: @moey_nelson Sound: @skip_eye Lighting support and green room: @heikeliss PA and photography: @scottkeneally Food: @jamsjoybungalow , @shawliza , @ryanglaab And of course our wine partners: @ami.ami.vin for supporting both weekends, @rockjuicesf for the natty wine bar and our incredible crew of winemakers who shared special wines with us all throughout the weekend To live somewhere with people building amazing things, where creativity is the most important natural resource, and where you can share in the magic of true community - that is the greatest gift one could get - thank you #healdsburg See ya next year xoxo Chris and Anne

“We are so lucky to live somewhere where people are creative and constantly thinking of ways to celebrate what we have.” “Whether it’s a festival, a book, or a local project, our mission is the same: help people find their path, trust their calling, and choose themselves.” Feeling deeply grateful to be featured in @sonomamag this month and to share a little window into what we’re building through @cosmicofest , Analog, and the @launchpadfoundation . This work is rooted in community, creativity, and connection — and it only exists because of the people who keep showing up, believing, and supporting the mission here in Sonoma County and beyond. 🤍
