Kawai Purapura Retreat Centre

COME AND JOIN US to The Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala - Tibetan Spiritual Craft.

The opening ceremony is next Monday 18th February at 10.00 am.

At the opening the monks will do prayers to request permission of the local spirits to construct the mandala at this particular site. Once this has been achieved - the monks will begin construction of the mandala from the centre and over the next 6 days slowly build the mandala until completion on Sunday the 24th. During this time motivational prayers will begin at 9.00 am each day and dedication prayers will begin at 4.00 pm. These prayer go for about half an hour each time and everyone is invited to participate.

Everyone is most welcome to join in and participate in the most auspicious wonderful event.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
