What is "The Art of Active Networking" and why do we do it? There was a recent article suggesting this staggering statistic: “Given the opportunity, over 70 percent of ALL people are not happy with their job, career or with what they are doing…and given the opportunity would change it!” Seems like a whole lot of people who do not love what they do when they wake up in the morning.

My name is Leah Joy and I started this Meetup as a way to get the word out to the masses about moving meditation. Why you ask?

This Meetup is to serve as a public forum for sharing and planning events related to bluegrass musi …

Perhaps we will find out where they play in advance and help build a fan base, or maybe we will find a venue and …
