This Is The Debut of The Mint Mind and Mingling Community

The Debut

by Zen Gardener John

There needs to be a time and space where people who prefer to come to a peaceful place through yoga, gardening or simply mingling with likewise positive people.  Unlike living in the bustling New York City, where I grew up, I now live in the more spaced-out, quiet suburbs of Eastern Long Island.

Living in the suburbs or rural areas, there are fewer opportunities for people to simply gather around and talk and socialize.  After three years of living on Eastern Long Island, and surviving a pandemic, I have discovered that there are some very talented Long Islanders living here.  Yet we do not have many peaceful and productive platforms to get together to develop, organize, and even monetize our skills for our immediate community.  That is why I created this online community to bring us to a real-time end goal.  So I will start organizing small gatherings for like-minded people from my area to do just that.  We can now share our affinity for the arts, craftwork, culinary, book reading, horticulture, and interior and exterior home designs.

I respectfully will add that this space is not a platform for political exposition.  This community's purpose is solely focused on turning professional (and non-professional) energy into positive structures for the greater Long Island community, and similar communities around our nation.  Mint, Mind, and Mingle is a place for healing and to encourage entrepreneurial endeavors to enhance lives.  There is no left or right, no rich or poor, or north shore vs south shore.  There's only one shore, one land, and the entire community of Long Island.  This is about all of us.  The tent has been pitched.  Let us all stand under it and work together.
