Ikebana for Beginners starts Next Week!

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

🌸 Artistry of Flowers: Ikebana for Beginners
➡️ Starts Monday 26 July

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. It is seen as more than simply putting flowers in a container, but a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature.

Our five-week Ikebana course will introduce you to traditional and innovative Japanese flower arrangements of the Sogetsu School. Work with nature in an individual and imaginative form through colour, line and texture.

For more information and to enrol, visit our website at villagesquare.org.nz/enrol or contact Olivia at community@villagesquare.org.nz

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Feeling overwhelmed?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours - If you feel like you can easily get swamped or snowed under, that is something Mindfulness can help with. My clients report that practicing mindfulness helps them feel they can cope better with stressful situations, feeling less overwhelmed.
Mindfulness trains us to paying attention to the present moment, which creates space to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

I run sessions on the third Monday of each month at Meadowbank Community Centre, 1.30, 75 mins - Next one Monday 16th
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485
