"You’ll be seated in the theatre as part of the audience, reacting to the action happening on stage during filming. Because this is a production shoot, there will be breaks between takes. You’re welcome to bring something quiet to do during downtime, such as a book or knitting. Snacks and drinks will be available."
Please message me so we can add you under our MindBodySoul.Me registered charitable trust attendees.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this event 🙏
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
