Jake and Helen - famous mindfulness attendees!
Hi Neighbours, Jake and Helen did a mindfulness course with me 18 months ago then wanted a regular "top up." I didn't expect them to be very committed but.....
I set up a regular relaxing mindfulness session at Meadowbank ... As you know, the last couple of years haven't been easy, with lockdowns, and illnesses and a few sessions went online. In all, I have done 16 sessions, often its just a very small group but Jake and Helen have come to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
So I thought it was time to celebrate it with a picture!
If you want to find out why they keep coming, contact me to get the details, and join us on Tuesday at 1pm at Meadowbank.
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing meditation for all levels. Meadowbank Community Centre- 1 - 2.15pm. Koha welcome (first session free). Social distancing, masked until seated. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.

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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
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?
-
81.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
