I must be crazy..
I must be crazy to do what I do. I suggest to people that they come to 8 sessions of mindfulness over 2 months, each of which is 2.5 hours long, and do home practices between the sessions, plus a whole day of mindfulness thrown in.
Why do I do it? Because I know from my and others’ experience that long-form mindfulness courses are transformative. They change people’s lives. The time and energy required is worth it.
I doubt I will still be doing this next year, I get enough work through organizations. And because people resist such a big, long, time-consuming course. They are too stressed (get it!?) But this is my passion, to teach these full courses of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
If you want to read someone's experience of doing it click ‘Read More’ - this article was published last year - it is a fun read!
The link will take you to my website if you want to find out more about the course too – I am taking bookings for one starting on 2 May. Get in while I still run them!!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
51.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
32.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Stolen Haro red mountain bike
My son’s red Haro mountain bike was stolen near Cornwall Park Avenue.
It was parked at our residence on 22nd January at around 8:00pm. We discovered it missing on 25th January at around 2:00pm.
If anyone living near Cornwall Park Avenue has CCTV footage between those dates and times, could you please check and let me know if you notice anything suspicious or see a red Haro mountain bike (photo attached)?
We would really appreciate any help. Please message me if you have any information.
Thank you so much.
