New Year, new courses
Happy 2019 everyone.
If you would like to start the year off with something fun and a bit different we have no fewer than five courses starting in February!
That's Otaki, Feilding, and Palmerston North on the 12th, Levin on the 21st, and Dannevirke on the 27th. Check out the course calendar on our webpage for more details.
We are also very excited to be running a course specific for Diabetes starting in March and a Chronic Pain one starting in May. This is the first time these have been offered in our region. See our webpage or email us for more info, and remember, all courses are free and family/support people are very welcome.
Hope to see you soon.
Stay safe out there while you have a great summer!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
