An introduction to Insight Meditation -- six-week class series

Catherine Bright from Auckland Insight Meditation

Six-week course, Wed 24th July 2024 to Wed 28th August 2024
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
Grey Lynn Community Centre, 510 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland

Discover the transformative power of insight meditation in this comprehensive six-week course, led by two highly-experienced meditation teachers, Jill Shepherd and Sue Dykes.

Insight meditation uses mindfulness to develop more steadiness and calm, so that we can see some common thought-patterns that create stress and distress, and learn how to help those patterns release. As a result of that deeper self-understanding, we can live with more ease, happiness and peace.

Over six consecutive Wednesday evening meetings, we will explore some of the key techniques of insight meditation. Topics covered will include:

- Mindfulness of the body, including sitting postures and walking meditation

- Mindfulness of thoughts and emotions, including methods to reduce afflictive thought patterns and strengthen beneficial ones

- Mindfulness in daily life, including mindful speaking and listening

- Practices for cultivating kindness, compassion and self-compassion.

Cost for all six sessions: $60 plus donation,* or for people experiencing financial stress, $30 plus donation.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
