SUMMER PARKLAND MEDITATIONS - Sundays in the Auckland Domain

Durba from Mount Eden

Whether you’re a newcomer to meditation or seeking the company of others and a group to practice with, you’re warmly invited to our drop-in, free weekend park meetings. We’re currently offering meditation courses in our peaceful Auckland parklands on Sunday mornings at 10am.

Informal and interesting, the sessions share a range of different meditation skills and guided exercises along with the ABC’s of meditation, helping you to establish your own ongoing practice. A popular aspect is the use of simple mantras along with harmonium accompaniment.

If you’re keen on joining in, call or text to: Jogyata 0221887432, or leave your details on our contact page below and we’ll be in touch to confirm each Sunday’s upcoming session.

Weather permitting, we meet at the Auckland Domain at 10:00am by the band rotunda off Domain Drive.

Bring a mat to sit on the grass, or a meditation stool. We usually have some refreshments afterwards. No charge, all welcome.
There’s a helpful online guide as well, taking you on a familiarization journey. Visit: nz.srichinmoycentre.org...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
