CHANTING WORKSHOP | SAT 13 MAY | GREY LYNN

Kara from Yoga Ground, Grey Lynn

Join Dani Affleck for an afternoon of chanting and relaxing Yoga Nidra. First we will explore the meaning and history of AUM, with an enlivening discussion, then we will experience its potency with a session of chanting accompanied by the unique instrument- a Shruti Box.

Sound vibration has been used across many cultures and traditions as a healing practice, a way to shift our state of mind and shake off any "gunk" from our energetic body.

The workshop will then conclude with a relaxing Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) to help you to really absorb the benefits.

Everyone is welcome to join this session.

No experience of chanting or Yoga Nidra required. Yoga Nidra is a practice that simply requires you to lie, or sit, for a period of time and listen to the teacher's voice.

If you are a first-time chanter or feel apprehensive about making the sounds then you are very welcome to join and experience the benefits of the vibrations as made by others. This is a great way to dip your toe in to this healing practice.

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!
