Meet other musicians from central NJ who are interested in bringing their music to a more mindful fruition -- whether it be through new approaches to topics and lyrics, or simply through more attention to their music's content, arrangement, and changes.

Mindfulness is a term from Buddhist philosophy, but anyone can practice mindfulness. It means "paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally. This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity, and acceptance of present-moment reality.... If we are not present for many of those moments, we may not only miss what is most valuable in our lives but also fail to realize the richness and the depth of our possibilities for growth and transformation." [excerpted from "Wherever You Go There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn.]

Members will be welcome, but not obligated, to share their music in a supportive environment that encourages everyone's creative development.

      “Hi, I am a re-introduced songwriter and I am surrounding myself with nothing but. This looks like a very good choice as I believe in mindfulness and being centered. I also want to explore higher meaning to my lyrics.”
