Hey neighbours,

If you're looking to secure a rental property, get ready for a competitive and expensive time.

New figures say the number of Trade Me inquiries on rentals is on the up, and with the number of available properties decreasing, significant price jumps are expected in the coming months.

Auckland's median weekly rent rose to $560 in July, while in Wellington the median weekly rent has risen 10 per cent year-on-year to $530.

Are you having a hard time finding and affording a rental property?

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!

ABOUT MINDFULNESS
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.

Please also use above email address for any enquiries.

Price: $80
