A message did go out from MeetUp announcing our group.  However our group is not ready to accept new members. But we hope to be ready for that i …

Welcome! We're in such magical times and I'm so excited about the possibilities and potential that awaits us, the earth, humanity! Now is the tijme to clear yourself of lower energies no longer serving you and "baggage" you may not even know you carry around.

I for one will not utilize my God-given, innate creative faculties (thoughts …

This is just for fun.  Our city is beautiful!  Let's descend upon some of it's loveliest parks, courtyards, over-grown alleyways and graffiti covered train yards.  Let's land like a flock of geese with our long legged easels and respectfully take over a public place for a progressive form of loitering.  We can stay a couple of hours, splash around some colors, soak up some sun,  and then move on to somewhere nearby for a drink and to appreciate each others' unique perspectives and talents.
