Last week Tuesday, October 30th, we had our 4th Mind Petals NYC Gathering at the Gramstand Cafe. It was a rockin’ gathering with an excellent turnout of creative and inspiring people who had a lot to share with the community.

This gathering was special, because it was the first time we had a list of presenters to come up and speak about their ideas, that lasted anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes. In former meetings, ideas were shared, but usually among regular conversations throughout mini groups that formed.
