Jake and Helen - famous mindfulness attendees!
Hi Neighbours, Jake and Helen did a mindfulness course with me 18 months ago then wanted a regular "top up." I didn't expect them to be very committed but.....
I set up a regular relaxing mindfulness session at Meadowbank ... As you know, the last couple of years haven't been easy, with lockdowns, and illnesses and a few sessions went online. In all, I have done 16 sessions, often its just a very small group but Jake and Helen have come to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
So I thought it was time to celebrate it with a picture!
If you want to find out why they keep coming, contact me to get the details, and join us on Tuesday at 1pm at Meadowbank.
The session includes gentle movement and relaxing meditation for all levels. Meadowbank Community Centre- 1 - 2.15pm. Koha welcome (first session free). Social distancing, masked until seated. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
