Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

THE ART & SCIENCE of ASTROLOGY
How can you possibly understand the other people in your life when you hardly understand yourself?  This is a start-from-scratch introduction to Astrology for those who know nothing much as well as those who have some knowledge. We will explore how planetary positions and their cycles play out through the signs and houses of the horoscope.  Astrology can be used as a tool for personal growth and healing. You will discover the aspects in your own chart in a way that explains much about your personality, your strengths and weaknesses, and your response to events.  Join our tutor, Francis Evans, an experienced astrological counsellor and certified practitioner of NLP.  Attend the first night for FREE to see if this course is for you!
