PhD: walking and street environments

I am a transport planner doing research on walking and the street environments. Right now I am interviewing Aucklanders to better understand how they choose to walk (or not), what matters, and what might cause barriers.

I would like to interview people who experience difficulties seeing / hearing / walking or concentrating. Interviews take about 45 min, at a place and time that works for the interviewees, and I have $30 koha vouchers. The results will help make Auckland easier to get around.

If you are interested, get in touch, and don't hesitate to ask any question you might have!

Do you own or work in a Holistic Business, a business that uplifts the planet?
Would you like to meet up with like-minded women?
Would you like to share in a whole new feminine model of business networking that involves fun, playful sharing and powerful business results?

After attending many different types of business networking groups, I was left uninspired by all the aggressive pitching, selling and pressure.

I have felt called to create a new type of Holistic Networking for women, where we come together at the full moon, to really connect and share, our businesses, our lives and our hearts.

In addition to amazing women, there will be tea and refreshments, a full moon ritual and crystal grid will be offered on the night. Plus this is an opportunity to come and check out Rose Cottage Wellness Centre........a new wellness space in Point Chevalier.

Please invite as many women as you know who may be interested, let's get this off the ground and start creating some magic!

Please bring something to share and something warm as we may be outside.

Koha between $10-$20 appreciated.
