Jake and Helen - famous mindfulness attendees!
Hi Neighbours, Jake and Helen did a mindfulness course with me 18 months ago then wanted a regular "top up." I didn't expect them to be very committed but.....
I set up a regular relaxing mindfulness session at Meadowbank ... As you know, the last couple of years haven't been easy, with lockdowns, and illnesses and a few sessions went online. In all, I have done 16 sessions, often its just a very small group but Jake and Helen have come to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
So I thought it was time to celebrate it with a picture!
If you want to find out why they keep coming, contact me to get the details, and join us on Tuesday at 1pm at Meadowbank.
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing meditation for all levels. Meadowbank Community Centre- 1 - 2.15pm. Koha welcome (first session free). Social distancing, masked until seated. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.

Some Choice News!
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!
