Harmony Circle Zoom Presentation 12th Oct
Kelly Townsend - Grief and Loss in the Time of Change
Tuesday 12th October at 1pm (see Zoom link below)
When we hear the word “grief” we often associate it with death. But grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of ANY kind. Grief is a cocktail of emotions; the conflicting feelings caused by the end or change in a familiar pattern of behaviour.
So, even though NZ’s approach is one of elimination to avoid deaths, there are many other types of loss occurring. Loss of freedom, connection, loss of health from other causes, security, jobs, businesses, relationships, holidays, loss of trust, loss of personal expression to name just a few.
Join me to learn more about society’s relationship with grief, the unhealthy coping mechanisms we adopt to deal with it, and how to hold space for yourself and others who are experiencing loss.
FREE DRAW - I would like to gift a copy of the The Grief Recovery Handbook, and 20% off a Healing Through Loss and Transition weekend retreat I'm running in November in a FREE draw eligible to those who attend.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
