Hi I'm Lauren McKee - I teach yoga down at Yoga Collective.

This Mothers Day, I'm running a special mini-retreat for Mums.

During this time, you'll enjoy 2-hours of pure bliss.

When you arrive, you're greeted by an inviting cozy room, with stunning views of the inlet, and the enlivening aroma created by a unique blend of essential oils - helping you fully get into the 'relaxation zone'.

Before we start, enjoy a nourishing cup of organic Runaway Rose Tea, by Libertine.

You'll be treated to a gentle yoga practice, tailored to help you find deep relaxation.

During this time, you'll learn some simple meditation and deep relaxation techniques, that you can practice anytime you need a couple of moments of calm.

You'll also receive a gift pack to nourish your soul. I don't know what's in it yet - we're still putting it together.

This is happening at the Boat Club, 110 Paremata Road, 4 to 6pm, Sunday the 13th of May, $35, limited to 30 people.

Plus, 100% donations will be given to 'Bellyful' - an amazing Charity who cooks and delivers meals to families with newborn babies and families with young children who are struggling with illness, where there is little or no family or social support.

Having a new baby or a sick family member can be tough! And, having someone pop around with a couple of cooked meals can go a long way toward easing the stress.

So, to make this Mothers Day a special one, come enjoy a relaxing treat, while supporting this worthy cause.

On the following page, you'll see a description about this event, along with a checkout form.

Please help by sharing this with your friends and family.

See you at the Mothers Day Mini Retreat:

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
