A note on Inclusivity from Minette Riordan/Mindful Patterns
We strive to make a place for everyone who is kind and caring to all. Love is Love, and everyone has inherent value.
Our programs are created with midlife women in mind—and we warmly welcome all who feel called to this journey. We honor people of all races, identities, orientations, bodies, and backgrounds. This is a space of creativity, belonging, and wholehearted self-discovery.
Our thoughts on AI, especially in the Creative World
We use AI tools to help us do more, create more, and to find more inspiration.
Minette uses MidJourney to inspire her artwork, not to create the artwork itself.
Brad uses AI to do research for his novel, but never uses AI-generated words in the novel itself.
We use AI a lot for our marketing efforts - including our advertising - but try to make sure it's clear when our creative imagery is AI-generated. It is a crucial tool in growing our business.
FAQ
Here are some answers to questions we have received, especially in comments on our Facebook ads.
What about artists whose art was used - without payment - to train the AI you are using to generate images?

Why doesn't your ad show a diversity of women?
You can look at all of our ads on the Meta platform in the Facebook Ad Library (search for Mindful Patterns) to get wider picture of all the ads we try to run. Sometimes in the past we have missed the mark with showing a diversity of body types and skin tones, but it is something we actively work on. Also please note that with Meta's "Andromeda" change to their advertising platform, advertisers are encouraged to provide a wide variety of ads to be delivered based on an individuals preferences: that means we will have some ads that feature just one person but the overall campaign will have a diversity of images.
