Hi,
AYP NYC has finally started!
We had our first meeting last night, just 3 of us including myself, at my offices by Grand Central Station (I'm at 42nd and Lexington). We're a small company and I run our NY office, so fortunately I'm able to freely commandeer the space 
Aiming to meet as often as possible at 6.30pm. This may well be several days a week.
If any NYC dwellers would like to join, please send me a private message and I'll give you the full details.

| Best wishes for your group. Wouldn't it be nice if every city had a similar meeting? |

 thx all. would be nice to see it grow.
Maybe NYC could be a good site for the first full-time AYP Yoga studio/meditation center! Someday perhaps
There is certainly a yoga studio practically on every block, but I feel that most people are there for the great exercise more than anything else. But despite that, there's a huge abundance of silent yoga retreats conducted by the studios, 3 eckhart tolle meet-up groups, kundalini yoga studios, a handful of non-duality meet-ups although these are small with a few people, the self-realization fellowship has an HQ here, and probably 15 or more vipassana, zen and other buddhist tradition meditation centers. Why not AYP. |

Hi Josh,
Happy to hear what is unfolding....and if there's a need for an AYP center, it will show up.
I quote Yogani quoting from a movie called "the Field of Dreams"--Build it, and they'll come."

UPDATE: The AYP weekly meeting time is set for 6.00pm, Every Tuesday, near Grand Central station (contact me for details). So far, we have something like 3 new AYP meditators in New York City, who have developed a regular meditation habit and are either friends of mine, or friends of friends, so lots of people are getting introduced (and getting very good results I hear). There are also some longer term practitioners in the City, who've been going for a few years who are joining in with the regular meetings.
At the moment, the meetup group is really only just coming together, sometimes there's a few of us, sometimes nobody, but the meetings are starting to regularize and I believe its going to grow and become established, as surely as a small seedling eventually becomes a tree. And in spite of this body-mind's extreme aversion to positions of responsibility and organization :-) I'm definitely the guy who prefers to turn up to something that somebody else organized, but life is giving me a new challenge, that I'd feel bad about not responding to efficiently. It's stillness in action.
Love,
Josh |
