The festival took place on Saturday, September 13th in Napa Valley, and welcomed more than 450 guests.
Leaders in science, philanthropy, business, and entertainment united at the Staglin Family Vineyard for the 31st Annual One Mind Music Festival, raising over $4.1M—the most in the event’s history—to drive the future of mental health. As a result, One Mind’s 2025 fundraising has reached a record-breaking total of over $14M and counting.
“For over three decades, the One Mind Music Festival has stood as one of the world’s most influential fundraisers dedicated to advancing mental health research, discovery, and innovation—impacting the lives of more than 30 million people worldwide since 1995,” said Brandon Staglin, Co-Founder and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer of One Mind.
Proceeds from the event benefit One Mind™, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to harness the power of science and lived experience to improve mental health outcomes for individuals, families, and society. One Mind advances transformative change in brain health through programs such as the One Mind Rising Star Academy, the One Mind Accelerator, One Mind at Work, the One Mind Lived Experience Initiative, and the annual One Mind Music Festival.
This year’s festival delivered an unforgettable experience, blending the groundbreaking Science & Innovation Symposium with premier wine tastings, curated culinary experiences, and a live performance by Grammy-award winning rock band Train.
“For the past 31 years, One Mind has championed initiatives to break down stigma and advance innovations that empower people facing mental health challenges to thrive,” said Staglin. “The organization has fueled scientific breakthroughs by funding 54 boundary-pushing scholars, accelerated innovation by supporting 37 mental health startups, and forged partnerships with more than 150 global companies to improve mental health in the workplace.”
The festival began with the Science & Innovation Symposium, which united leading scientists and visionaries to spotlight revolutionary innovations shaping the future of mental health. An inspiring and heartfelt keynote was presented by Dr. Regina Dugan, President & CEO of Wellcome Leap, and Dr. Susanne Ahmari, Program Director at Wellcome Leap, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and 2018 One Mind Rising Star Award recipient.
The festival was punctuated with an electrifying concert by Train, made possible through the generous support of JaM Cellars. The packed tent came alive as the Grammy Award–winning band powered through signature hits like “Drops of Jupiter” and “Hey, Soul Sister,” keeping the dance floor full from start to finish. Between songs, lead singer Pat Monahan highlighted the importance of mental health in every community and commended attendees for their contributions to advancing brain science and mental health.
Guests savored an acclaimed wine-tasting reception featuring over 70 premier vintners from Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, and more, paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from Chef Dustin Valette of Valette restaurant in Healdsburg.
For VIP ticket holders, the evening reached new heights of culinary artistry with a four-course dinner under the stars, masterfully crafted by Italian-born veteran chef Angelo Auriana, leaving attendees captivated and delighted.
During the VIP dinner, One Mind also recognized Armand de Maigret, Estate Manager of Screaming Eagle Winery, with the prestigious Honored Vintner Award, celebrating his dedication and contributions to the festival each year.
Looking ahead, One Mind is steadfast in its mission to expand global impact and drive collaborations that transform the future of mental health care. The annual One Mind Music Festival stands as a powerful testament to this commitment—advancing groundbreaking research, sparking innovation, and forging partnerships that bring hope to millions. Next year’s 32nd Annual One Mind Music Festival will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
