WHAT"S ON: Learn meditation - Special Topic, Two Thurs, Free admission
You’re invited! A journey from introductory practices to deeper insights and secrets – an overview of meditation practices and the guidelines needed to successfully meditate.
Thursday, December 15, 7:30pm – 9pm
TOPIC: Discovering the path of mantras and music
Meditation requires an emptying or stilling of the mind’s incessant chatter – no easy task for most practitioners! Another way is quite the opposite, filling the mind, inspiring the mind with mantras/sacred chants that leave no room for distracting thoughts. These can be as chants or as simple songs, aligning the mind with the spiritual energies of the heart.
Mantras are a simple, powerful way of meditating - this evening we’ll introduce several mantras to help awaken the inner life, and to share an effective, helpful new understanding of meditation.
Thursday, December 22, 7:30pm – 9pm
TOPIC: Finding your own path
We are travelers at the end of long, unremembered journeys – no need to look back or remember, but rather to understand where our individual journeys are intended to take us.
These Thursday sessions offer periods of both guided and silent meditation, cover a wide canvas of meditation techniques to help you find your own unique path, and look at lifestyle positives that will support your journey of discovery.
Venue: 93 Dominion Road, Mt Eden. (adjacent to the Target furniture building, entry at no. 93 on the corner of Dominion Rd/Tawari Street)

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
