Are you worried about a family member, a close friend or yourself? We all need some help at times.
Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Trauma, Illness and Stress or just feeling overwhelmed with life is affecting so many people of all ages these days and everyone seem to know someone else who is not well in one way or another. I have been facilitating 7-28 day live-in health retreats in New Zealand for 14 years and am open to discuss a non live-in option where you would receive the same program content more spread over several weeks. Initially we just would talk by phone or skype and see if what I can offer is something worth considering and we will take it from there. My retreats are based on a one on one basis and so will any program we would discuss so to stay focused on the goals of the one needing some support right now. For more information please phone me at 020 41741215. I can give you a website link then if you are interested where you can read more about my retreat work but also the therapies I offer to support people in crisis. Even if you decide not go ahead with what I am offering you still can contact me. I may be able to point you in the suitable direction to get the support you are looking for. All the very best, Peter
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
