In this Harvest Series episode hosted by Rose Claverie, multidisciplinary artist Cosmo Gonik shares how music, movement and spirituality meet in his life. From barefoot ecstatic dance floors in Bali and Paris to tarot sessions rooted in Jodorowsky’s lineage, Cosmo opens up about art as a healing practice. Recorded at Harvest in Kaplankaya, it’s a conversation about courage, creativity and trusting your body.
