CoSM, Chapel of Sacred Mirrors - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Truly inspiring. A tour de force of visionary art. Historic

Eric Francis, in one of his renowned horoscopes, unintentionally describes the sense one gets upon first contact with CoSM, and the global art community that circulates around it: "Imagine you have lived a thousand years, or a thousand centuries, preparing for something: something you're not quite sure what or when. Only why has been apparent, and only at times; the twists and turns of the world certainly do their part to assail and debase faith and dignity. But you have kept yours, and while the light has at times been dim, it has always been present. Now, imagine the world is expecting you; imagine that your true peers, people who have woven in and out of the story of your journey for many eons, are waiting to greet you, accept you back, and welcome you to your true identity."

Wwwooowww! What an amazing experience! I went with my husband and stayed at the Grey House for the night. Location is so beautiful! We walked the trails and meditate in the garden. Entheon is incredible. We were so inspired by it. We will definitely come back and highly recommend it :)

There's something truly special about this place! I'm glad to have been back almost 20 years after my first visit. It was just as transformative today as it was then.

This review if for the Mushroom Cafe. The cafe was covered with amazing murals. That was definitely the best part. The staff was kind and provided great service. The food though, was underwhelming. The mushroom medley panini (which was the only fresh mushroom option) I'm pretty sure was just crimini mushrooms reheated with some goat cheese and some greens. All the other mushroom infused foods were gourmet mushroom powders baked in cookies. We did have some chaga coffee that was pretty good. But over-all we were hoping for more fresh gourmet mushroom options, to go along with the theme of (Mycelial experience honoring our fungal ancestors) saying it's a one of a kind mycelial experience.

Cool place with tons of art. Definitely spiritual people everywhere. The staff is all super friendly and helpful. Nice walks in the woods too. Definitely glad we stopped here on our road trip.

Incredible experience!! I recently attended an immersive workshop at CoSM. What a magical place to host a workshop. Alex and Allyson Grey are the kindest hosts and the CoSM staff are all AWESOME. There is a powerful transformative energy at the CoSM grounds that just evokes joy and creativity. In addition to attending the workshop, I also did an overnight stay at the Grey House. The accommodations were perfect! The Grey House is a delightful Victorian style B&B which is by itself very enchanting. There is self-serve breakfast available in the morning with plenty of healthful options. The Mushroom Cafe also has some food/teas/elixirs available for purchase and I ordered a tasty functional mushroom tea. I could've spend hours looking at all the art painted on the walls of the cafe, and there's an endless amount of really enthralling art pieces throughout the rest of the Grey house. In the early morning, I enjoyed a quiet reflective walk along the Wisdom Trail and found some fascinating sculptures, a reflecting pond, and some delicious wild berries along the trail! :) Before leaving, I ventured into the new Entheon building which hosts 3-floors of visionary art exhibits. I could easily spend hours (if not days) in every single room of the Entheon. The whole place is just overflowing with world-class visionary art and I highly recommend the immersive overnight stay as a way to fully experience CoSM in all of its glory!

Having the Chapel all to ourselves was incredible. To experience each mirror for however long I needed, fully present to my own internal responses was a true blessing. Beautiful property and amazing stay at Grey House. The crazy thunderstorm capped a fully memorable adventure.

Museum of esoteric delight and spiritualism. Nestled in the middle of nowhere, drive to the Entheon, the main museum. The Grey House is a B&B and wasn't open to the public. The Mushroom Cafe wasn't open when we arrived. The museum has three floors with the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors on the third floor. Each floor is a surprise and you can easily spend an hour here viewing the art, sculpture, and video. There is nothing like this that I'm aware of in northeast US. It's worth a stop if you're in the Hudson Valley.

So peaceful and visually steeping with art! This was quite the journey at the Entheon! Even the bathrooms were dedicated to artists. Plenty of nooks filled with art! These artists are gifted ❤️‍🔥

This museum has beautiful visionary artwork! I am so glad I finally went. Next time I hope to walk around the grounds and walking trails. The gift shops are full of merchandise. I wanted one of everything! The food at the Cafe was delicious. The Grey House was lovely to walk around. I would love to stay there overnight for a weekend sometime.

Wonderful experience. The tour of the unique gallery of visionary art was exceptional. Had a picnic lunch on the grounds. Have already reccomended my friends plan a visit!

I live in NYC and the greatest museum around is this beautiful place in the Hudson Valley. They hold so many wonderful events. A must see

The Pantheon is amazing to explore, but security guards can be less intimidating. You dont exactly want to be approached by a military looking big dude right after the dj set is over and directed to leave. I was just looking at pictures on the walls, since the dancing crowd was gone. I went outside and wanted to stop by the big fire for a minute before getting in my car. There were people standing by the fire as well. Immediately, from the other side of the fire a guard walked strait to me and asked: are you staying overnight? No? Then its time to leave, the party has ended! Big guy in a militia-style, all black uniform. I did not even ask if i can stay a minute and enjoy the fire, i just left. After leaving over a 100 $ in this place in a few hours, you dont exactly want to be talked to in such way. I observed different guards talking in the same manner to guests throughout the day.Is there a reason to strictly kick everyone out right when the music stops, cant people have an hour just to stand by the fire and socialise before driving home?

Such an amazing experience. Entheon is like a museum. Absolutely mind blown. You can get lost in the artwork and magic that is here

My wife bought us tickets to the Full Moon gathering in April. Amazing experience to see all the original art of Alex and Allyson Grey. The Wisdom Trail was a nice adventure and the Mushroom Cafe was a treat. We even got to socialize with Alex himself. Definitely worth the price and time if you love visionary art.

The most amazing experience.. thank you Greys!!!

Entheon is great, if you like Alex or Alison’s work you’ll find yourself in heaven! Lovely is an understatement to describe the staff.

Cosm was more than I could have expected. 10/10 can’t wait to spend many more hours here.

It's far but it's worth the trip there.

Wonderful experience. It has been 5 years since i have been here. Wonderful staff. Wonderful art display.

Incredibly beautiful property and art. The Grey's are very welcoming and this place is not to be missed. A true haven of visionary art.

Very inspirational place for artists and aliens! I love Alex greys large paintings featuring the birth of spirit and life of souls. really beautiful temple of work, the sculptures/gazebo in the garden is great! The walking trail is pretty Barron during the winter , but hopefully they will add more landscape and outdoor sculptures 😍🤞

Amazing museum! Worth the Trip! Great price to see these masterpieces in person. Visit with friends or family. 2-3 floors of art, so much. And the land is beautiful too. I will be back.

A sublime and divine oasis of some of the most extraordinarily gifted and talented artists and heart-centric thinking and feeling Minds as one will ever meet in the northern exurbs of NYC. Or really anywhere on Earth. All curated (the good people and the art) by Alex Grey, one of the most genuine living Bodhisatva’s alive, working, thinking and feeling in the world today. And his brilliant and talented First Lady of Art & Spirit, the lovely Allyson Grey. If you ever need a dose of genuine Spirit and respite from all the malarkey this modern dysfunctional world sends at us in endless streams of media madness. One weekend spend on these hallowed grounds and buildings, filled chock-a-block with hundreds of the most sublime and scintillating, transformational artworks, at peace amongst their beautiful and talented staff and Sanga. Might be the best “reset button” one can reach anywhere in the sprawling metropolitan region of NYC. Namaste 🙏

As a lifelong Tool fan, it was a real treat delving into the artist minds of the Grey’s by exploring their breathtaking galleries and serene sculpture garden. Definitely plan to return again.

Great art gallery, especially for Tool fans

Beautiful place, amazing and friendly staff and Alex and Allison couldn't be nicer people

Great spiritual artists community!

This place is out of this world… you just have to go and see it for yourself. The artworks, the galleries, Alex and Allyson.. there are simply no words to describe the amazing experience we had. Definitely going back again soon… so much to see for just one day. Loved it!!

Amazing place and art, however, the people and main artist, Alex Grey, are phonies. I was invited to one of their events and at the event I asked if I could film and document the event for my immersive art website, which I was given permission to do so by numerous staff. After I spent a week editing the footage, I sent it over to show them before I posted it, I was then threatened by Alex's daughter saying I was not allowed to post the content or I would be sued by them, and then her and the staff proceeded to degrade me and mock my editing skills. This was a horrible behavior from a place that claims to be "spiritual" and is supposed to be there for the happiness of all. I won't be supporting them after that display of behavior. Their vessels and conscious decision taint the art that was channeled. Perhaps the spirit can select better outlets next time. I started out inspired by the design of the art and ended disappointed due to their arrogance.

What an amazing place, cafe, food, and a breath of fresh air. Great place to check out

What a mind expanding art class we had with Perry and Allyson creating sigils for the year a head. We even got to meet Alex after class. I would need a whole day just to walk around campus enjoy the museum and gift shop.. the cafe was adorable with high quality sandwiches, cookies, beverages ect..

Visiting CoSM was a dream come true. I can’t wait to return now that Entheon is completed and open. Everyone there was warm and welcoming.

I love CoSM! It is such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the brilliance of Alex and Allyson Grey. Their vision for CoSM is very inspiring, and I can't wait to visit again.

I had a wonderful experience. Staff was super friendly. Got to meet both Alex and Allyson and they are such warm souls. Very friendly and easy to talk to. I will most definitely be returning.

What an amazing place to experience Alex's, Allyson's and others amazing artwork. I enjoyed seeing the art and understanding the time it took to create them. The detail and connection of humans to everything around us is made more obvious. Get here. Take your time. Soak it all in.

CoSM is a unique experience and is most certainly a an unconventional addition to Dutchess County. But in my personal experience, the atmosphere felt a little “off.” Admission is typically in the $20 range, so a girlfriend and I decided to attend during their open house weekend. With lots of space to freely roam, it felt busy, but not necessarily “crowded.” We started in the “Grey House” and were able to stop in the “Mushroom Cafe.” Their version of a hot chocolate was great and it was nice to peruse around at some of the smaller pieces of artwork. This building also featured the gift shop and the dining hall—both of which were pretty nice. I will comment that the dining hall didn’t have a lot of seating, and it felt off to be charged for food, when the site also has a cafe. Going on a normal weekend, the cost of going to this self-proclaimed spiritual site surely adds up. Anyhow, it was nice walking the grounds, though exhibits on the property weren’t clearly labeled and weren’t the easiest to follow based on the provided map. Most of the images advertised online are of the Entheon—the “sacred temple” of CoSM. A lot of the artwork I can appreciate, but I also take issue with. In my humble opinion, CoSM isn’t a “bad” place to visit and experience. However, there is a heavy drug culture and cult like component that almost makes it a mockery of spirituality. And that’s a hard thing to overlook when you leave a site and almost feel “dirty,” by the sheer amount of ego and narcissism reflected into the art.

Absolutely worth the trip for anyone even remotely familiar with the work of Alex Grey. Highly recommend!

I love this place. Wish I lived closer.

Beautiful profound work. Quite moving.

The coolest art museum I have ever been to, including the Guggenheim. Very spiritual.

To go to the place that holds the art that changed a lot of things for the better in my life was surreal. If psychedelic art is what you're into, then this is a must visit place.

What an experience. So many pieces of his work that leave you speechless. Staff was great. Would love to go back.

Absolutely breathtaking sacred art space. A must visit if you are a fan of visionary art. The grounds are beautiful to walk. Mushroom cafe has snacks and sandwiches and teas and coffee and light foods. The grey house is gorgeous, and the yard is perfect for the full moon ceremonies. Entheon is beautiful, powerful, and has an energy that can not be explained and needs to be experienced. A must visit!

Magical place with wonderful people

I feel so blessed to have been able to experience the beauty and magic of this place firsthand – it is truly unique and inspiring and wonderful in so many ways… Kudos to everyone for making it real!!!

The best place in the Hudson Valley to see unique art. An artist retreat and sanctuary for visionary art, the Grey’s have carved an incredible nook for exploring and honoring creativity.

I would love to visit CoSM some day and see Alex and Allyson's beautiful art in person.

Me parece un lugar hermoso mágico y sobre todo místico " Alex Grey " me abrió su puerta. Fue cálida su mirada, me dio paz, amor su atención hizo que sienta que estaba frente a un niño chico un niño.. una persona sin tiempo. Sentí conmovedoras sus palabras y atencion. Toque dos hermosos Gongs. Sentí la magia. Camine junto a Jonatan de L.A. y recorrí sus jardines su Parque, su unión a la pacha. A la belleza a la magia. Sentí el embrujo a el mago y a el hombre. Sentí a Álex Grey. Gracias Alex Kaly Gracias alegría en su corazón fue un guía de pequeñas y grandes cosas sus palabras no fueron menos conme

Counting down the days till they bust out the sacred communal Kool aid and take a one-way astral journey. Jokes,security guards are unfriendly and the core members are kinda creepy. If you've gone before you know what I mean by core members.

Best most life changing experience

I hope you re-open soon 🤞 We all could use some CoSM in our lives

Really cool spot to enhance your perspectives.

Impressive space in the middle of the woods! Peaceful art trail and community art collective. Worth a visit while you’re in the Hudson Valley

I remember when I first saw the the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors installation in 2008 when it was installed in a wharehouse outlet in Midtown Manhattan. And then followed the Grey’s creative path north to Wappinger Falls. Between 2010 and 2015, I took art workshops and attended Sunday art churches. I had wonderful experiences immersed in the art of Alex and visiting artists who taught there and musicians who played there. I’ll never forget the incredible gongs played during the meditation. I learned so much. The mansion is gorgeously restored. The Mushroom cafe is so beautifully painted by visiting artists. The wooded trails are beautiful.

A dear friend of mine recently purchased a blanket for me, from here without my knowledge! What a pleasant surprise to see my favorite painting in blanket format come into my work office today. Craftsmanship is wonderful. Very pleased. :)

I feel a deep connection to this magical sacred chapel and planning a long overdue trip with my loving fiancé to visit this summer!! Excited to head north to see, share and feel the experience in person; heart to heart. And of course by more art!!

awesome product. ordered a nice blanket from them online, really liked it and ordered another. the 2nd order had a hiccup but thankfully i guess one of the ladies working at their office was able to clear it up easily by emaIl and received it by mail pretty quickly. i love the blankets designed by alex, maybe not hand made but looks well made. It should last a long time under good care and seems comfortable if you were use it as a blanket. Mine will be hung up high on my bedroom wall. i hope to visit the shop and chapel someday when things can reopen again

Well worth a visit, incredible vibe

Good People Great Art. Excellent Vision and Mission for Love

The best spiritual/art community endeavor in North America

Delightfully divine, definingly delightful. Check your shoes with your ego and come inside together, with unity. Bring your place into this space and your space into this place. Art surrounds, sights and sounds. Limitlessness abounds.

Beautiful place, you can fell his energy in the paintings. It’s a very nice experience.

Mystical and enlightening - in one evening I’ve healed unburdened and tuned to the multiverse that is home

So happy absolutely LOVE CoSM 🎨🙏🏼🎨

Just stayed the night for our wedding anniversary ad this place is incredible. Friendly staff, a wonderful hike, some of the most jaw dropping art, and the dinner and breakfast were great. We wil definitely be back

Very interesting space with extremely profound artwork. I'm looking forward to returning in the daytime.
