Whether a learner or seeking the company of a like-minded group to practice with, you’re warmly invited to our drop-in, free weekend park meetings. We’re currently offering meditation courses in our Auckland parklands on Sunday mornings at 10am. These share a range of different meditation skills and guided exercises and introduce the ABC’s in helping you with your own developing practice. A popular aspect is the use of simple mantras along with harmonium accompaniment.
If you’re keen on joining in, contact us (see below) and we’ll be in touch with times and venue details. Sunday’s next session, December 5th will be at the Auckland Domain, meeting at 10:00am by the band rotunda off Domain Drive. Bring a mat to sit on the grass, or a meditation stool. Weather permitting, our coming Sunday will offer a one hour session covering a wide canvas of exercises along with q & a opportunities and some refreshments afterwards. No charge, all welcome.

I am a third-year medical student home from Otago for the summer holidays. Due to covid, my after-school care job could not start, and was wondering if anyone needed any child-minding, specifically prior to Christmas. I have previous work in child-minding and thoroughly enjoy spending time with kids as this has encouraged my interest in hopefully being a pediatrician.
I am fully available until Christmas, have access to my own car, full driver's license, first aid certificate, and am fully vaccinated.
Kind Regards,
Shani

While there is nothing wrong with conditions or covenants being imposed by a lender, borrowers need to be comfortable that they can comply with these and that there are no adverse implications on the business or any party involved.

The weather is warming up and summer is almost upon us. It’s time to change over your winter clothes for summer ones, rearrange the garage for summer belonging access, tidy up the outdoors for summer gatherings and a lot more!
One way to really accent the summer season in your home is to pick out a summer rug. Certain aspects of different rugs help capture the summer feel we all love.
