Dear Cosmic Co-creators,
We have ✨two stellar events✨ coming up, which we’d love for you to be a part of!
First, on February 28th at 12 pm MST (convert time zone), you are invited to join us online for our first community meet-up of the year.
Join us on Zoom via this link:
https://cosmos.coop/zoom/community
For new and current members, this is a moment to check in and catch up with everything that’s going on in the Co-op. You’ll also have the opportunity to share what you’ve been working on and get the support you need.
Drop in with us!
Second, on March 9th at 4 pm MST, for those of you in Colorado, you are invited to our next ✨“Stellar Sunday” Community Potluck and Creative Showcase.✨ This is a LIVE and IN-PERSON event, which takes place at Longmont Public Media and features food, music, poetry, art, and conversations. Bring a dish to share, or donate to our Open Collective food fund.
The location for this event is at 457 4th Ave in downtown Longmont.
We are hosting these gatherings every second Sunday of the month—but this one will be extra special! A few of our creative members will be celebrating birthdays, including yours truly, Marco, and I’ll be premiering new poetry.

In Other News:
Following our launch event in November, the Cosmos team has been working on the next steps in our evolution. Some of this work has been fun and creative, and some has been nuts and bolts.
- We completed phase 1 of our legal work and will soon be rolling out our Constitution and equity agreements.
- We surveyed community members to learn more about members’ interests and availability to participate.
- We completed our bookkeeping and financial reports for 2024.
- We raised over $6000 to help pay for the aforementioned legal work, technology, and other expenses.
- We’ve continued meeting to evolve our business and marketing plans.
In creative news, at the beginning of February, our literary arts journal, Metapsychosis, returned from our winter hiatus with some potent new pieces, including:
- How Symbols Matter – by J.F. Martel
- Ganesha Poems—The Whispers, The Affair, The False
- Promises, The Breakup – by Lo Galluccio
- The Next Frontier: Marco V Morelli on Cosmos Co-op, Ontology, and the Infinite Quest – by Chase Griffin and yours truly
- Lost Mariners: Music by The Soft Hearted Scientists—Video and Lost Musings by Bryan Parcival
- Here Be Monsters – by Jonathan Cobb
- Lebanon Meet Israel – by Katherine Eid Wild and Ananda Kesler
And there is much more to come!
The world may appear to be crazy and chaotic, distressing and disturbing, but we still have it in our power to come together as a community, tune in to the truth, goodness, and beauty that’s still there. Let’s create something different based on THAT. Perhaps we are only nurturing the seeds of a world to come, or perhaps we are making it happen right now with each act of compassion and courage. If you’re looking for ways to increase community, consciousness, and creativity in your life, Cosmos Co-op is here for you.
✨See you soon!✨
