Yip, y’all have seen me flag/spam about an upcoming retreat - The Big Chill.

I just wanna say IF you had considered or entertained the idea of getting away for a hot little minute, mayhaps this might make it a little more “entertaining ...? 😉😂

Due to the current situ, the cost has been brought right down! 😄 Sooooo if you want to come join please do!

Please note that regardless of whether you have experienced anything like this before and practiced yoga or not, does NOT matter!! ALL levels are embraced and modifications to accommodate wherever you are at in your journey. Absolute beginners we love you!! ❤

Please don’t be “scared” or whatever. This is not a retreat where you’ll find yourself talking in tongues or doing any “wierd and whacky” shit. C’mon, it’s ME that’s your hostess and I promise to make it the mostess chilled and lovely experience for you.

Practices favour “restorative”, as opposed to “action Betty” styles. It’s a chance to get the frick away, reconnect, rejuvenate, refresh, release and just rest.

I’d love to hold space for y’all beautiful peoples and enable some reprieve, from the grind.

Anyhoo, that’s where I’m at, or WILL be at next weekend. @manaretreat in the Coromandel, I would loooove you to join me. It will be just a cool, intimate getaway. No strings, no ties, just cool peeps and chill vibes 🦋😎

Here’s a link to event to find out more about the eventut - but remember the #micdrop 🎤 there’s the #pricedrop 💥 so hit me up. Re any questions etc and to say yay or shanaynay - but hopefully it’s a yayay 😁

Be good to know sooner rather than laters of course. #nopressure 😂

Love you lots. And please of course, if you know anyone else you think be keen - pleeeeaaase share the dets . My number is 0274580355

That’s not fair, when a child’s dreams can be so simple. Aiden just dreams of joining the big kids at school, with the proper uniform. With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes. These children are also likely to miss out on important opportunities such as camp or swimming lessons.

I contacted Plant Research last year to try and get a treatment program .I diligently followed their advice to no avail . Crops are severely infested. I've heard of damage to limes ,Plums and even Macadamia. If this pest gets into Commercial Crop areas it will wreck havoc .Something needs to be done. We need a seasonal treatment program that works .I can't even give bags of fruit away for fear of internal infestation.
