Would you like to know what 2025 has in store for you ? A new romance perhaps ? Moving house ? Different job ? Would you like to receive a message from a loved one who has passed ?
Interested ? Then come along to our next meeting this Wednesday, March 19th, 7:30pm start, in the Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa. There is a large car park next to the hall.
We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we charge only $5 each to cover costs, including hiring the hall. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are very often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Look us up on Facebook. Come along and check us out. And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗

Today we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you.
Andrew is here live on Wednesday from 9.30am for your questions.

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.
