Mindfulness helps manage the inner critic
Hi Neighbours,
Did you know that Mindfulness helps us observe thoughts and stress reactions in a way which reduces their power. It allows you to become aware of your self-critical thoughts, acknowledge them, and let them pass, rather than getting swept away by them.
If you are interested, you might want to join our small group for a session of ease and peace once a month. The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
Third Monday of the month – Not December but restarting January 19th. Meadowbank Community Centre - 1.30 - 2.45pm.
First session free, then Koha welcome.

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 ⚖️
