FREESTONE, CA, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, a cherished destination for holistic healing nestled in the heart of West Sonoma County, is thrilled to announce its 40th Anniversary Gala Celebration, honoring a pioneering moment in wellness history: the arrival of the first Cedar Enzyme Bath in the United States.
This milestone event is Wednesday, May 21, from 5–9 PM at Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary in Freestone, California.
A Celebration Rooted in Community and Healing
The evening of connection, inspiration, and gratitude opens with a tea reception and book signing with New York Times bestselling author and long-time friend Paul Hawken in the welcome garden. Paul is an esteemed author and environmentalist whose ten books have reached readers in over 50 countries and been translated into 30 languages — including five that became New York Times bestsellers. With a passion for healing the planet, Paul has founded ecological businesses, written about the intersection of nature and commerce, and advised leaders around the world on how to regenerate our climate, economy, and ecosystems. His thoughtful voice has been shared on programs like the Today Show, Talk of the Nation, Bill Maher, and CBS This Morning, and his work has been featured in respected publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Forbes, and Business Week.
The event will move to Osmosis’ landmark meditation garden, where Hawken will share reflections from his transformative new book, Carbon, The Book of Life in dialogue with the legendary Peter Coyote — celebrated actor, director, and author. A lifelong activist and ordained Zen priest, Coyote brings a rare depth and resonance to every dialogue, enhanced by his unmistakable voice and profound commitment to planetary healing. Carbon takes us into the world of the most misunderstood yet versatile element on the planet. This stirring, hopeful, and deeply humane book illuminates the infinite connections between carbon and human well-being.
As the sun sets, guests will delight in heavy hors d’oeuvres crafted by culinary artist Isa Jacoby, with wine poured by Bohème. The evening concludes under the stars with toasts, desserts, music, and soothing cedar enzyme footbaths.
Tickets available with sliding scale pricing from $40 to $90 to ensure accessibility for a broad spectrum of the community.
