I must be crazy..

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

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: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Carpet inspection needed

Karen from Saint Johns

Hi
I've just had new carpet laid throughout my house. I'm not happy with the result, as pieces don't match where they should, and in a hallway there are 5 joins where should not have been more than two. The supplier says there's nothing wrong. I would like a professional carpet person to look at it for an independent assessment. Does anyone know of someone who could do this?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
