Listening to our award winners speak at our National Excellence Awards in November, we were inspired by our young people and how they are open to new opportunities since going through our programmes.

Kaden developed a 'give-it-ago' attitude during his Wilderness Adventure when one of his friends introduced him to Chess. Having never played before, Kaden kept practicing with his new friend, decided to enter a tournament for fun and ended up winning! An awesome accomplishment.

You’re invited! A journey from introductory practices to deeper insights and secrets – an overview of meditation practices and the guidelines needed to successfully meditate.

Thursday, December 15, 7:30pm – 9pm
TOPIC: Discovering the path of mantras and music

Meditation requires an emptying or stilling of the mind’s incessant chatter – no easy task for most practitioners! Another way is quite the opposite, filling the mind, inspiring the mind with mantras/sacred chants that leave no room for distracting thoughts. These can be as chants or as simple songs, aligning the mind with the spiritual energies of the heart.

Mantras are a simple, powerful way of meditating - this evening we’ll introduce several mantras to help awaken the inner life, and to share an effective, helpful new understanding of meditation.

Thursday, December 22, 7:30pm – 9pm
TOPIC: Finding your own path
We are travelers at the end of long, unremembered journeys – no need to look back or remember, but rather to understand where our individual journeys are intended to take us.

These Thursday sessions offer periods of both guided and silent meditation, cover a wide canvas of meditation techniques to help you find your own unique path, and look at lifestyle positives that will support your journey of discovery.

Venue: 93 Dominion Road, Mt Eden. (adjacent to the Target furniture building, entry at no. 93 on the corner of Dominion Rd/Tawari Street)

A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.
