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)

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
Merry Christmas
