Anxiety is natural for all creatures, so don't beat yourself up for it!

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, you will have noticed that anxiety is natural for all creatures, and it is very important as a signal to help us navigate the world. But sometimes this signal can become like a smoke alarm that is stuck on.

How to turn the alarm button off? Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. The sessions develop the skill to meet our anxiety with care and compassion to loosen it up and find more courage in the face of our challenges.

Session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation. Meadowbank Community Centre on Tuesday 2 May 1 - 2.15pm. Bookings essential. Contact me.

First session free, then Koha welcome.
Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
