I must be crazy..

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

I must be crazy to do what I do. I suggest to people that they come to 8 sessions of mindfulness over 2 months, each of which is 2.5 hours long, and do home practices between the sessions, plus a whole day of mindfulness thrown in.

Why do I do it? Because I know from my and others’ experience that long-form mindfulness courses are transformative. They change people’s lives. The time and energy required is worth it.

I doubt I will still be doing this next year, I get enough work through organizations. And because people resist such a big, long, time-consuming course. They are too stressed (get it!?) But this is my passion, to teach these full courses of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

If you want to read someone's experience of doing it click ‘Read More’ - this article was published last year - it is a fun read!

The link will take you to my website if you want to find out more about the course too – I am taking bookings for one starting on 2 May. Get in while I still run them!!

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!
