Awesome moon a good reminder to savour the good things!
Hi Neighbours - Wow did you see the moon last night – I stood outside and watched it come up and life was good. It pushed away all the thoughts of washing and dishes to be done!! I remembered neuroscientist Rick Hansen’s advice to really savour any pleasant experience. He says the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones – we remember negative things more easily than positive things.
He suggests that we ‘tilt towards the good’ in order to level the playing field. He says if we spend time savouring and enjoying a good experience, more neurons fire and thus wire together, actually changing our brains for the better. So to balance out the challenging times, see if you can "Take in the good" to even things out.
Mindfulness practice helps build up this way of being. Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace next week. Session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.
The next one is on Tue 5th of September 1 - 2.15pm. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
Advice on hedgehog please
Hi neighbours
We seem to have a hedgehog walking around our lawn for the last few days during the day. We thought it was just a one off when we first saw him/her and put some bread out soaked in milk ( have since learned that this isn’t good ) but he’s been seen a few other times since. When we tried to pick him up I noticed his eye was closed or crusty almost and he had a patch where the spikes were missing ( is this mange ?)
We don’t know what to do to get it help. Does anyone know if there’s a rescue type place that can help?
