Velentis Presents – First Mastermind Meet up!
Yesterday, Novemeber 1, @ 4pm SLT (Pst) we kicked off the very first
Velentis Presents Challenge!
The meet started with a getting-to-know-you/getting-to-know info session followed by the reveal of the “It’s A Wonderful Life” Challenge theme!( challenge details & printable sheets coming later this week.)
Next up we had a fun-filled brainstorming session to answer the question “What does It’s a Wonderful Life mean to you?”
The crowd was filled with ideas. Kizmut talked about the gadgets and doodads of the 1940’s, Jeran, Ashuri, Panudrum, Selina, & Wynd joined in too! Other members of our audience talked about the joys of Christmas & there was even chatter about faires! I totally forgot about the angel fairy part of this tale; did you too? With the crisp winter winds this morning, maybe it’s a good day to snuggle up with a cocoa in hand & rewatch this film & relive the memories again.
It’s fun to take these nostalgic walks into the films of the past and learn the subtleties that bring emotions ranging from the sorrows of the Great Depression to joyous memories of our families, piled in the living room with cocoa & cookies on Christmas Eve.
Lastly, we wrapped up the night with Q & A!
We passed out VP group invites, giving exclusive use rights to our private build box, & everyone got Gifts sponsored by Wynd Ling of Wyndaveres.
Wouldn’t you like to become a Mastermind? Join us & let’s see what goes on inside your creative mind!

Mastermind Meetup #3 Dreamscaping
Mastermind Meetup #2 recap & Mastermind #3
Another successful meetup! Thank you all for coming.
At Sunday’s, July 1st Mastermind Meetup we delve deep into the psychology of the artistic, entrepreneurial mind, by asking one Question.
What drives you?
We defined the Differences of Mattering,Belonging & Safety driven action & inaction. Each Mastermind told us what drives them so that the rest of the group can make sure they are responding in a way that is helpful and encouraging to You.
When you receive the type of support you need your mind stays open,receptive and totally creative!
We also asked…
What’s your dream? What’s your obstacle?
Each Mastermind presented their dream and the obstacles keeping them from achieving that dream. Some dreamed of designing video games, while others to build museums, each having unique obstacles: confidence, procrastination, time, skills. Not surprisingly, most obstacles are those that live in our minds.
Imagine you are sitting there and you think “OMG I have the best idea!”
We’ve all been there, in the excitement and the thrills of a creative breakthrough, the moment when the little hairs on the back of your neck stand on end as the fabulous idea seems to suddenly appear out of nowhere in your Eureka Moment.
Personally, I think this is what Heaven is.
Unfortunately, moments later, your critter brain chimes in as self doubt sets in.
“Who do you think you are?” “You don’t have time for this.” Or my personal recording “ Great Idea! yeah… for someone else.” The initial thoughts are followed by ALL reasons why you can’t do it.
You can thank your primal brain for this as it does not care what you dream to do, it’s job is to protect you and safety lives in the comfort zone, not in the creative realm of change. But we can’t place all the blame on your brain, you can also thank adults who poisoned your childlike mind with those negative recordings. Think about it, why on earth would you in your right mind speak to yourself in such a way? Someone must have put those doubts there in the first place.
Take aways:
- Support your fellow Masterminds on their terms meeting their needs, but you must first know what those terms are. What’s your driver? Is it Safety, Belonging or Mattering?
- Realise your brain will trick you into doing nothing, it’s job is to protect you so you’ll have to fight again it if you want to succeed.
For next Sunday’s Mastermind Meetup July 8th, please complete your Dream Planner worksheet
Name your dream, describe emotional reactions you’ll get to achieving that dream, List a few role models who have done Exactly or nearly exactly what you dream to do, and lastly name the tangible target when do you know you have achieved your dream?
Can’t wait to see you all there, Dream big friends!

What is a Mastermind Meetup?
Mastermind Meetups are discussion based workshops where the participants (Masterminds) work together to give each other the support we need to achieve our goals and dreams.
We all started as big thinkers, dreamers, genius’ but somewhere along our walk in “reality” an adult in our lives, perhaps a teacher or parent, friend or lover thought they would “save” us and tell us directly or indirectly, “give it up kid!” Unfortunately, we believed these adults in our lives (assuming they knew better) & without questioning their reasoning we gave up. “You’re right Joe, I don’t know what I was thinking!? I should go give up this fantasy and go find a real job.”
If you’ve never had the support you need to succeed I invite you to come make a New Family with the Masterminds.
These workshops not only designed to give you support but also a safe place for you to dream big with plenty of cheers and praise along the way to reaching your milestones, and the energy of a group where You belong.
Lastly, and quite important, you’ll learn tools to help you succeed.
- Rewire your brain through neuroplasticity. you’ll learn how to get past the bad days using psychology to dispel limiting beliefs, create new habits & build confidence.
- Plan your dreams and make them real through tailored lessons in dream planning with useful worksheets & idea generating sessions(brainstorming.)
- Learn to work smarter…not harder. by making connections that will save you time. No one ever succeeded at ANYTHING alone so don’t think you will either! You’ll need contacts, knowledge, and the mind-power of the many to succeed.
Mastermind Meetups are held every Sunday 7am SLT (PST) & 5pm SLT (PST) @ CafeMake with other venues coming soon! Once attending you’ll also be given an invite to join us on our Discord Channel giving you one more way to stay in touch with fellow Masterminds.
If you’re ready to take real action & go for your dreams I invite you to join us this Sunday at the “Mastermind Meetup” in Secondlife.
Be in the know!

Masterminds Welcome!
Wyndavere City Proudly welcomes “Mastermind meetup.”
@ Cafe’ Make, Wyndavere City !
The Bravest thing you can do is follow your dreams, and reaching them is dependent on a strong support system.
Some of us are blessed to have great support from friends and family. Sadly, this is usually not the case.
Do your friends tug at your arm to go out with them when you mention working towards your dream? Is your family nagging you to “get your head out the clouds and get a Real Job?” I know I know, we’ve all been there, we love them for who they are and cherish their company but let’s admit it, they’re not the best crowd when we are trying to reach our dreams.
We all need someone to believe in us.
Why not let me be that someone to you while you be that someone to me? I need you to pick me up when I fall and I promise to push you onward when you want to stop.
That’s exactly what the MasterMind meetups are for! To help you get the support you need to go after your goals. We want to help you be courageous, We want you to be courageous, tackle the big dreams,the ones that keep you up at night….You know, the ones even YOU thinks are to nuts to to go after!
Mastermind Meetups will be held twice on Sundays, once in the morning once in the evening ensuring everyone is full of positive energy and ready to crush it Monday morning.
Get ready to take on your goals!
Our first official meetup will be:
June 24th,2018
6am-7am SLT and 6pm-7pm SLT
@ Cafe’Make
Bldg 2 , 2nd Floor
Wyndavere City
This will be a meet and greet where we’ll all introduce ourselves and review (with your input) the goals of the Mastermind Meetups.
This is NOT a Second Life builders club, anyone with a dream is welcome and encouraged to join. These discussions are lead by Wynd Ling, and totally FREE (donations are always welcome!)

Wynds tips #4 SEO Search Engine Optimization
Wynd’s Tips #4 SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) it’s for SecondLife too!
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for you! If you Optimize it they will come!
Second Life is a search Engine no different from Google.
Grab your customers & the Second Life Search engine’s attention by giving your products User-friendly/Search Engine friendly names, descriptions, & don’t forget to check off the “Show in Search” option on every new creation!
Be Seen & Heard!
If you don’t know what Search Engine Optimization is, think of it as the thesis statement to sum up a story. , At a quick glance, you want the search engine and your customers to know exactly what it is you have to sell.
Pick the most important words for both people and the Second Life search to know what it is you are selling and why they should buy it.
Algorithm priority is typically given to Username, Store Name, Creator Name, first 60 characters of the object title, first 160 characters to the object’s description. Make use of all of these fields to maximize your exposure through keyword rich copy.
Look for a Full 2 part series for both in-world products and SecondLife Marketplace listings in the coming weeks and then the second part 2 weeks from then.
OOooorr you can even contact me in world for a one on one chat over a cup of coffee at Wyndavere’s in SecondLife.

Improve your walk!
Hold “ALT” and click on the back your avatar’s head. While holding your Left mouse button down, use “WASD” keys and walk normally. By doing so you’ll be able to turn on a dime & you’ll never fall off the balcony or stumble down a flight of stairs again!

We’ve got numerous additions to the galley at Cafe’Make where for the first time, you can view and purchase photography by me, Wynd Ling.
These photos are a collection of over 11 years touring the Second Life grid where I’ve captured some of the most beautiful landscapes residents have created.
Taking photos in Second Life is one of my all-time favorite pastimes, if you should ever wish to grab your camera and head out to explore with me, please join Wyndavere City Second Life Group to be informed about future photo expeditions.
Click to Teleport Also coming this week is another First for Wyndavere’s. I’ve been creating in Second Life for as long as I have been a part of this wonderful community. In that time so much has changed as prims gave way to sculpt later to be replaced by full fledged CGI mesh models and rigging.
In efforts to make room for newer creations, Wyndavere’s is proud to have our first ever discount store! Located on the second Level Of Wyndavere’s & packed full of “Circa Noobie” vintage works. This section serves both as a museum of progress and a great place to pick up some “oldies but goodies” creations at extremely discounted rates.

Kicking off the new series “Wynd’s Tips.” Every other Wednesday I will be posting a new tip to help you not only live an easier Second Life but first life too. We humans can really over complicate things can’t we?
So, check back often for new exciting additions to Wyndavere’s on the web. Occasionally when I find new , beautiful places, I invite members of the Wyndavere City group to join me on photography outings, join the Wyndavere City group if you would like to shoot with me! The coffee is good and the company is not to bad either 🙂
*claps my hands together* now lets get into the tip already!
Tip #1
Improve your Snapshot quality by using the “Snapshot to Disk” option!
Not only will you have a copy stored to your hard drive but it will be of superior quality compared to ones you Snapshot to your inventory, and who doesn’t want to hold on to those moments forever?!
