This is the last opportunity in Auckland for 2019 before she sets sail on many adventures over the summer.
This is the perfect opportunity to sail around the Auckland harbour; hoist the sails, helm the Ship or sit back, go for the ride and enjoy the view. You will also be treated to freshly baked treats for morning tea.
Spaces are limited. We look forward to having you on the ship.

Hi Neighbours, Auckland has 3 electric buses and Marrakesh had 15 - two years ago. Former PM Helen Clark thinks the city can be far more ambitious in meeting the UN's sustainable development goals. Do you think we could show the way? Read the story below.

So many nasties can be hidden in the products we put on our skin every day. Even those labeled 'natural' aren't always so natural...

And as we now know, what we put on our skin ends up in our body.
Chemicals that are commonly found in skin care products, like fragrance, phtalates and parabens can upset the delicate balance of hormones in our body and cause not so good things to happen.
So join me for a fun hands-on class Sunday 1 September 10am-12pm at my home in Mairangi Bay.
Learn about doTERRA essential oils and how easy it is to make your own super simple, natural skin care products for a fraction of the cost you would buy them at the store.
Cost is $30.
Go home with your own natural:
~face wash
~oil cleanser
~face polishing powder
~anti-aging moisturiser
Classes are small, so message or text me to book your seat ASAP.
And if you can't make it this time, message me and we can arrange another class time or gather a group of friends and I can come to you.
Learn how to live a more natural toxin-free life!

It's reincarnation as Campbells Bay Early Learning Centre is certainly striking and modern. It has been architecturally designed around the 1950s-built church, a heritage building, thus respecting its history and place in the community in a beautiful beachside location.
The philosophy of the centre draws on the practice of Emmi Pikler; respect and trust that the child can be the initiator and explorer of their own learning and Reggio Emilia; where children learn through their interests, social collaboration and investigation.
Daily meals are carefully planned with an onsite chef who caters to allergies and intolerances, and there is always a vegetarian alternative to their main meal.
Limited spaces available visit us at 220 Campbells Bay, or phone Alex and Hayley on 09 479 9090.
We'd love to show you around our exciting new learning centre!

Whether you are dealing with chronic stress, illness, issues stemming from imbalance in your life - or simply wanting to incorporate a great wellness practice in your day - one of the things that can really help is to include the "reset" offered by mindfulness meditation.
Mindfulness is a very potent way to support yourself and to give both body and mind a break from living in the "Red zone" of stress and overwhelm.
It's an antidote of sorts to anxiety, difficulty concentrating, poor health or performance and more.
There are now over 4000 published research articles attesting to the therapeutic benefits of meditation for a wide range of physical and psychological conditions and it's compatibility and synergy with most forms of medical treatment.
THE COURSE
This 4 week course offers a thorough introductory grounding in the WHAT, WHY and HOW of Mindfulness-based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), a type of mindfulness developed at the Gawler Cancer Foundation in Australia and recognised internationally by leaders in the field. (Part 2 goes further into emotions, awareness and finding stillness).
Each 2 hour class involves a mix of learning, discussion and practice. Each week builds on the previous ones, so that by the end of the course, you have a well- established and robust basis for a satisfying ongoing home practice.
COURSE DATES AND TIMES: 7.15 -9.15pm, every Friday from 15 November to 6 December, 2019
VENUE: Stoney Homestead Community Hub, 12 Galbraith Greens, Silverdale, Auckland
COURSE COST: $80 (plus any relevant online booking fees)
COURSE FACILITATOR: Liz Weatherly, Louise Hay Teacher and Coach, CMI, MBSM Certified Mindfulness Meditation Instructor through the Gawler Foundation.
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL! Book by emailing liz@beinspired.co.nz or through Eventbrite
Your booking will be confirmed upon receipt of your payment.
