A three-evening free course on creating a peaceful life….

With special New York-based guest presenter and teacher Boijayanti, sharing her meditation skills and insights during her short NZ visit.

For most people the mind has become the master, not the servant it should be – how do we regain control, cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind, a stillness in the body and the breath?

These informal and informative evenings will help with answers, covering the simple but often overlooked essentials of meditation and sharing a toolkit of techniques you can practice and explore. Our guest presenter Boijayanti is a longtime practitioner of meditation and was fortunate to have the guidance of the late Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy (www.srichinmoy.org) – she shares these inspirational teachings with humor and simplicity.

Usher in the New Year with positive new life skills, clarity of purpose and a peaceful mind and heart – you only need the sincerity to make a start.

When: Tuesdays / Thursdays, February 11, 13, 18: 7:30pm – 9pm nightly

Venue: The Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings, Mt Eden.

Free admission, however registration is required to accommodate numbers attending. Please register by confirming your details to Jogyata on Whatsapp to: 0221887432

Uncertainty surrounds the fate of a controversial 60-home Kāinga Ora development for Flagstaff’s Endeavour Avenue after Housing Minister Chris Bishop’s announcement of a “turnaround plan” for the agency.

Bishop said the turnaround plan would see the agency refocus on “its core mission of building and managing government-owned social housing in a financially sustainable way”.

Janet and her husband both enjoy tending to their garden and shared this about their garden:
"We are both in our eighties and have lived in the Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village for three and a half years. Our passion for gardening spans many years. We change our display every six months to cover Spring and Summer.
The residents in the village regularly bring their visitors to see our display and take plenty of photographs. When you hear comments such as “It lifts my spirits when I get to this corner” you realise how much it means to everyone. We will continue to create a beautiful garden for as long as we are able."
