Local groups in west Auckland are “bitterly disappointed” after resource consent was granted in relation to the replacement of a water treatment plant. They claim Auckland Council ignored expert advice on the risks for the project to spread kauri dieback disease.

Watercare had applied for resource consent to carry out earthworks and vegetation removal for the upcoming replacement of the Huia Water Treatment Plant.

Titirangi Protection Group’s (TPG) spokeswoman Belynda Groot said “it’s totally wrong” for consent to be given after abundant evidence from kauri dieback and ecology experts at the resource consent hearing in April this year advised against the build.

Harmony Circle – Guest Presenter Sunday 11th July
Paula Robinson – Qigong for Health & Healing

Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 Koha – Harmony Circle is non-profit.

When I say I teach Qigong (Chee-gong) the most common response is “What’s Qigong?”. My easy reply to that is… “It’s an incredible and accessible practise where you can learn to heal yourself, easily, simply and quickly.”
How awesome would that be if you were to find a method of healing your own self that fits into your lifestyle, that resonates with you, and that produces positive results!
I practise and teach Spring Forest Qigong. It’s a practise that anyone, of any age and ability can do.
This particular Qigong has been simplified to be both easy and effective. It can be done standing, sitting or lying down.
I’ll explain how this works and how it may help you, along with some information around the 5 Element Healing Moves, Yin & Yang and Qi (Energy).

Win a healing session or a one-on-one qigong lesson in the evening draw!

Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!
