We had another successful gathering the other night down in the the Lower East Side section of Manhattan. Though is was a smaller group, we had some really great conversations, brainstorm sessions, and a few inspirational presentations.
Our community is definitely gaining momentum and gaining strength here in the city. There are so many creative, disruptive, and innovative people in this city, and I’m really happy that some of them have been able to link up with Mind Petals Organization and add on to what we’re building.

Every month we’ll be continuing to organize Mind Petals NYC Gatherings. For those of you who aren’t sure what the concept behind the organization is, this is the idea:
Mind Petals Garden
Think of Mind Petals as a garden. And in that garden people gather to plant seeds. Each seed represents an idea, insight, experience, theory, philosophy, solution, music, concept, just about any form of creativity… and we each gather to water, nourish, and cultivate these seeds — as a collective. In time, they blossom into things that change the world, inspire, motivate, and help others. This is Mind Petals. And we’re constantly looking for more planters to join us.
Entrepreneur, Musician, Poet, Writer, Engineer, Speaker, Designer, whatever term you use to define how you express your creativity — it doesn’t matter — you are welcome to join us; you are welcome to share your creativity with us.
Because we are ALL creative. Everyone in the entire world is creative. The only difference is that some of us are able to cultivate, control, and express our creativity better than others.
Whatever it is that you’re doing, whatever passion you are living, just keep at it. Keep on expressing yourself no matter what. And if you ever make it out to New York City, stop by.
