Love & Partnership: Valentine’s Brunch & Talk on Sacred Couples
with Alex Grey & Allyson Grey
To honor Valentine’s Day, join Alex & Allyson for an illustrated, interactive discussion on Sacred Couples.
Statistics suggest that 50% of marriages end in divorce, we delve into the other 50%, those who seek the recipe for a relationship that could last a lifetime, those who choose the best partner and maintain an enduring love.
Explore the evolutionary nature of successful relationships and how biological strategies such as adaptability, symbiosis, and "survival of the fittest" apply to relationship choices and sustainability.
Engage in a thoughtful conversation on the anatomy of a healthy disagreement and whether "reciprocal altruism" can result in a sacred love pact that withstands the test of time.
Discover how transformative bonds can activate a spiritual and creative life, opening a universe of possibilities, otherwise unimaginable.
Whether you are single and looking currently, or sharing a relationship, seize this rare opportunity of a supportive community, to gain a deeper understanding of the positive aspects of relationships and celebrate the abiding power of love.

Who are Alex Grey & Allyson Grey?
Alex Grey, world-renowned artist, poet, and author, is best loved for his paintings which portray multiple dimensions of reality, interweaving biological anatomy with psychic and spiritual energies. Alex's books, Sacred Mirrors, The Mission of Art, Transfigurations and Art Psalms trace the development of his work and the mystical experiences that shaped his spiritual, artistic life. Alex’s most recent monograph, Net of Being, addresses how his art is evolving the cultural body through icons of interconnectedness. alexgrey.com
Allyson Grey is an artist and social sculptor. Her paintings have been exhibited and sold internationally. Grey is a community leader with a Master of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University. Allyson has edited and co-authored over a dozen books and journals, lectured widely, and has been an educator and muse to artists for over 40 years. The symbol system in her abstract, labor intensive paintings represent an essentialized world-view that includes the concepts of chaos, order and secret writing. Allysongrey.com
Together, the Grey’s co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, CoSM, a spiritual creative retreat center in the Hudson Valley of New York. On the forefront of a movement in which painters join musicians on stage, the Grey’s have painted together live before tens of thousands of dancing young people at New York Broadway theaters, at sold-out festivals and arenas in dozens of international cities across five continents. As long-time advocates of “cognitive liberty,” a growing international “sacramental culture” has embraced the Grey’s as important mapmakers and spokespersons for the visionary realm. The Grey’s, with a dedicated and evolving team, have created CoSM, an interspiritual Art Church and Entheon, a Visionary Art sanctuary at CoSM. cosm.org
