65 Groovy Moments at the Cosmic Reunion Festival

By on Tue, May 31, 2016 at 6:34 pm

We saw it all at the Cosmic Reunion festival on Saturday. Held May 26-29 in Astral Valley, Missouri, this arts and music festival encouraged attendees to express themselves through artwork and participatory meditation circles. Plenty of creativity, hippie vibes, performances and, yes, even nudity ensued. Catch up on all the action -- this is a festival unlike any other you've seen before. A word of warning for those viewing these photos at work: There are two shots depicting nudity towards the end of this slideshow. Those squeamish about nakedness should stop at photo No. 53.
