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.

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!
