Sounds of the Sacred 2023: A free Interfaith Concert
Music lovers! – you’re invited to a free, informal interfaith concert, 7pm, May 22nd, a Monday evening at the Fickling Centre in Three Kings, Mt Eden.
A number of interfaith music groups will share their music on stage in the Hillsborough Room, following the popularity and successes of our larger interfaith and cultural concerts in earlier years.
Some six different groups from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Hare Krishna and Jewish traditions are so far participating, with more expected.
The evening will provide an opportunity to experience the music of different cultures, forge new friendships and to reconnect with old friends after a couple of challenging years.
We’ll have a wide selection of vegetarian snacks and refreshments post-concert.
Admission is entirely free. Let us know if you’re coming by responding on the contact page below, so we can ensure adequate seating is available.

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Looking for Work in Caregiving, Childcare and Pet Sitting / Walking (Post on behalf of my tenant)
Hi, my name is Liubov, and I am a retired caregiver with New Zealand citizenship. I have years of experience working in hospitals and rest homes, as well as caring for children and my own grandchild.
I am a quiet yet sociable person who enjoys reading, gardening, knitting, and spending time with pets. I also love walking and being active.
I’m looking for a part-time or full-time position where I can assist with the care of the elderly, children or pets. Ideally, I’m seeking opportunities in areas accessible by public transport as I do not drive.
Relevant qualifications I have acquired over the years include:
- Basic first aid & adult CPR
- English language course
- Aged residential care clinical support
- Continence education
- Malnutrition and dietary management.
If you are in need of a caring and reliable individual, I would be happy to help. Please feel free to get in touch.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
