Chloë Cassens is the representative of the Severin Wunderman Collection, the largest in the world of works by the artist Jean Cocteau. She was born in Los Angeles and raised between Los Angeles, Switzerland, and France. Her perspective on Cocteau is singular as she is Wunderman’s granddaughter. She has educated audiences about her grandfather and Cocteau’s legacies at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy; L’Alliance in New York City; PRS; and more. Before founding Sacred Monster, Chloë received a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Barnard College and worked as a sex educator. She currently lives in Los Angeles and Paris with her dachshund, Louis. You can follow Chloë at @chloecassens on instagram and subscribe to Sacred Monster for much more at www.sacred-monster.com. Sacred Monster, Volume I is available to purchase at various independent bookshops in Los Angeles and Paris, with more cities to come.

Chris Holmes creates art and music to connect people to wonder and joy. He is the founder of immersive multimedia production studio Fascinated By Everything, has toured the world with Paul McCartney as his opening DJ, produced artists from Felix da Housecat to Sinead O’Connor, brought his invaluable vision and creativity to events and campaigns for Google, Sundance Labs, and Rockstar Games, and served as music director for the LA based charity The Art of Elysium. In 2025 his Psychedelic Mixtape premiered at COSM Los Angeles. Chris studied myth and religion at the University of Chicago and continues to be inspired by the stories we tell to make sense of ourselves and the world around us.

Jessica Hundley is an acclaimed writer, creative director, and filmmaker whose work traces the intersections of art, music, mysticism, and counterculture. With roots in cultural journalism, she has held editorial roles at Dazed & Confused and The Fader, and continues to contribute to leading publications including Vogue, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times.
​

As an author and curator, Hundley has published more than a dozen books, among them a celebrated biography of country-rock icon Gram Parsons, a collaborative exploration of music and meditation with filmmaker David Lynch, and a definitive visual monograph on the photography of Dennis Hopper. She is also the creator and series editor of TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica—an international best-selling collection of encyclopedic volumes that visually chart the histories of esoteric traditions. Titles in the ongoing series include Tarot, Astrology, Plant Magick, Witchcraft, Sacred Sites, and the newest, Spirit Worlds.

The Library of Esoterica has ignited a global conversation about the transformative role of mysticism in contemporary culture—illuminating how spirituality shapes our creativity, our rituals, and our connection to the natural world. Beyond the page, Hundley regularly leads women-focused retreats, workshops, lectures, and panel discussions that explore the divine feminine, the symbolic language of art, and the ways in which esoteric traditions inform contemporary creativity. Her speaking engagements—at museums, cultural institutions, universities, and international festivals—invite audiences into a deeper dialogue about storytelling, symbolism, and humanity’s enduring search for meaning.

Across mediums, Hundley’s work seeks to bridge imagination and inquiry, cultivating shared experiences that honor the power of ritual, the vitality of creativity, and the universal human drive to connect with mystery.
