Our previous participants have loved it - here are some of their thoughts:
“This was my first time doing the program and after 8 weeks and after the second test I have no depression and anxiety. I am amazed at how well this programme has worked and the difference it has made in my life.”
“I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety and was finding it very difficult to cope. I found coming to the sessions each week very helpful and the readings in the books were great. I noticed when I started doing the daily diary and taking linseed everyday I could feel the difference start to occur. I am amazed at how well this program has worked and the difference it has made in my life - thank you to everyone... you are amazing.”

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below

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?
