Meditation: Toolkit For Calm
Inner peace, simplicity and happiness have always been there inside us, qualities of our heart and soul that are often hidden and lost beneath the busy
complexities of our mind. This free six-evening course covers the essential techniques in learning and mastering meditation, rediscovering the inner life and restoring clarity and calm.
Our presenter is Jogyata Dallas, who has taught workshops on meditation in many countries and authored several books about the subject and his own personal experiences.
Each evening introduces new material and meditation exercises that encourage stillness in the mind, body and breath, mantras and chants, the principle branches of yoga and examines the seven essential steps in developing a more spiritual lifestyle. It is recommended that you start on the first or second evening rather than joining after this.
Admission is free, registration is encouraged to ensure seating.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
