Mindful Creators Group

Mindful Creators Group

Dear Mindful Writers and Friends,

I’m delighted to report that the Mindful Creators Group that I started at Ashby Ponds, Virginia where my husband Manoj and I live, is thriving. Wondering why I replaced the word “Writers” with “Creators?” The reason is that all of us in the group are not writers. Some of us are but many others are artists, photographers, potters, weavers or create in other ways.

A vibrant community of 2,200+ caring and vibrant individuals ages 65+, Ashby Ponds is located in the quiet town of Ashburn. Dotted with five ponds with cascading fountains, the surroundings are rich with seasonal flowering bushes, wild grasses, climbers and lush trees that attract birds, butterflies and bees.

I thought you might enjoy the photo of the Mindful Creatives Group we shot recently on my birthday. Not all the members are in this picture. Some were absent and a few others joined us a bit later. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to share with you a photo of the whole group.

I wish one day some of you, if not all of you, would join us at your convenience. We meet every Thursday from 10:30 to 12:00 at Shenandoah/Middleburg Room, Blue Ridge Club House, Ashby Ponds. We practice two sessions of guided meditation, two sessions of journaling and end the meeting with a short discussion on one of the topics relevant to the Meditation Practice.

Hope your Writing Meditation Practice is going well and the Mindful Retreats, productive and calm producing as always, are running smoothly.

With love,
Madhu
