Mind Petals NYC Garden Gathers in Rainy Lower East Side
Two days ago, Feb. 26, Mind Petals NYC met for our seventh month here in the city. It was a rainy, rainy, day but a few brave souls still made it out. Seven of us gathered and had a great time. Without a doubt, it was one of the most powerful, thought-provoking, and inspiring Mind Petals gatherings I’ve ever attended.
We all sat in a circle and really opened up our hearts and minds. I kicked off the night with a discussion on society and my thoughts about how I feel that society has immense control over the minds of so many people, to the point that most people don’t even know it. Going through life, following orders, and living through other people’s plans.
I spoke about how people should realize that they are the center of the universe and how they are not marginalized in any way, but extremely powerful. This, of course, sparked all sorts of feedback and questions that flowed into topics such as:
- Spirituality
- Buddhism
- Zen
- Quantum Physics
- Film
- Religion
- Jesus
- Buddha
- The Games of Society
- Drugs
- Business
et al.
For the first time, a few High Schoolers actually attended — that was awesome. They asked more questions than I’ve ever seen at any Mind Petals. And for that, I was totally happy. I love talking with people who aren’t afraid to ask questions, no matter how unsure they are about something.
Great night, no doubt! Thank you all for coming and for your contributions!
Stay tuned for the video.
