What's On: three part free meditation course with international guest speaker
Don’t miss these three evenings! Popular Brazilian teacher Ashirvad is here in late March on his first NZ visit to share with you his knowledge, his own love of meditation and his decades of personal experience in this structured 3-part course.
His Auckland visit offers a most special opportunity to learn from an inspirational speaker, one who has taught meditation globally for over two decades. Ashirvad learnt meditation from the late Indian spiritual master Sri Chinmoy, and his free courses combine a wealth of practical exercises with many personal insights and experiences.
A marathoner, writer, longtime meditation practitioner and traveller, he has the gift of making meditation accessible and simple, while highlighting the deeper understanding that through meditation we are responding to a deeper, spiritual awakening in our lives. Admission is free throughout.
When: March 21, 23, 24, 7.00pm – 8:30pm
Where: the Fickling Convention Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Mt Eden

37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
