LA | An Evening With June Cohen: The Great Remembering
Wednesday, October 28, 2026
6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Shawn Gold - Private Residence
People have always found meaning together: in the sauna, at the festival, through shared ordeals and communal rituals of grief. June Cohen's new book, The Great Remembering, explores what modern life left behind and the new science that reveals why these ancient practices worked.
June will share some of the book's most provocative ideas and discoveries. An intimate, participatory conversation follows, about what modern life has given us, what it may have taken away and what might be worth bringing back.
This is a salon in the original spirit of the word: an evening of ideas, curiosity, conversation and connection among a remarkable group of people. Space is intentionally limited to keep the evening small.
*Please Note: Parking is limited, rideshare encouraged.
What to expect
- An evening at the Laurel Canyon home of Shawn Gold and Amy Neunsinger. The address is shared upon confirmation.
- A talk from June on the ideas behind The Great Remembering, followed by a chance to discuss as a group.
- Drinks and light bites.
