Religious Abuse and Conversion Therapy

Jim from Northcote Point

I'm presenting a seminar on Tue 16th Feb as part of Auckland Pride Festival.

It's designed for anyone interested in this controversial practice - gay or straight, religious or atheist. All welcome!

This seminar looks at the nature of religious abuse and conversion therapy, especially in the context of Christian based religions.
We’ll be looking at:
• The subtle, and not so subtle, methods of trying to make us “straight”.
• The use and abuse of doctrines and the bible
• The mental health issues faced by victims
• Ways of addressing the issues and finding a way forward
• Untangling our beliefs from reality
Silent Gays provides ways to understand the depth of the issues and resources to build a new life founded on freedom, peace and unconditional love.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)
