Mike Walen is a self-taught professional photographer whose business success has been entirely driven by word-of-mouth endorsement.

Now KeyImagery, Mike’s Hamilton-based firm, has become a Momentum Waikato Partner business.

With a knack for the social side of snapping people, Mike really enjoys event photography.

“Three quarters of what I do is about being able to socialise with people, I’m not scared of approaching them to ask if I can take their photo,” says Mike.

“Nothing I love more than going along and mingling.”

Events are the “bread and butter” for KeyImagery, which takes Mike to civic, school and sports gatherings across the central North Island. He’s also been the photographer-of-record at international marathons overseas.

The opening of the Waikato Regional Theatre in downtown Hamilton next year will trigger a major evolutionary leap for the city’s nightlife.

That’s the prediction from Waikato Regional Theatre general manager Gus Sharp, who says he will be eagerly awaiting to see what changes will be spurred by the addition of the new 1300-seat theatre to Hamilton.

And Sharp has some personal experience of such changes, having been involved in the $42 million revamp of the revered Saint James Theatre in central Wellington.

As the designated first aider, Adrian needs to be ready for action at any point.

One night a tutor called, concerned for a student having an unexpected diabetic low. Adrian had managed to devour all the Minties in the office so they had to come up with a solution. Fate has it, the Cake Decorating class was running and they always have chocolate.

So Adrian explained the situation and was given a handful of emergency chocolate. We were delighted when it was reported that the chocolate did the trick and the student was able to continue with their class that evening.

Numerologist Michelle Buchanan is coming to The Crystal Point

Michelle from The Crystal Point

Our first workshop at The Crystal Point is with Michelle Buchanan on using Oracle Cards & Pendulums.

Saturday 5th August 10am to 4pm *Limited to first 5 people*If you'd like to learn how to use Oracle Cards and a Pendulum for extra guidance and insight to assist yourself and others, then this is the workshop for you. There are several tools we can use to enhance our intuition and increase our ability to receive Divine Guidance - and oracle cards and pendulums are a perfect example of this. However, there are certain' personal and spiritual practices and protocols' that must be adhered to for greater depth and accuracy. “The information you receive is only as accurate as the filter (YOU) it's coming through” The quality and accuracy of the information and guidance you receive through oracle cards and pendulums, is a direct reflection of the filter it's coming through ... which is "YOU". YOU are the filter. In fact, your "perception" of yourself, others and the world, as well as the daily spiritual and personal practices you partake in, all playa part in the content you receive. Therefore, using oracle cards and a pendulum CORRECTLY, is so much more than simply pulling a few random cards or swinging a crystal on a chain from side to side, hoping for accurate answers. In this workshop you will learn:🔮 The practices and protocols you need to receive accurate guidance🔮 How to increase your intuition🔮 How to use oracle cards🔮 How to use a pendulum🔮 A variety of ways oracle cards and pendulums can be used 🔮 How to give others readings by practicing with a partner and as a group🔮 How to give yourself accurate readings "Those who have previously attended my workshops know they are upbeat and fun, extremely informative and always include a fabulous group of likeminded souls on a similar journey." "I will provide the oracle cards and pendulums to use in class 😊 All you have to do is bring your lunch"

"If you would like to join me for this workshop, please know I only have a limited number of spots available - so please message me to book a space ASAP if you're keen" 😊Michelle Buchanan
Michelle@positivepower.co.nz 💜😊 Cost is $120

We have more workshops coming! Including Numerologist Michelle Buchanan, Spiritual Development with Janet Thomson and Tarot Teachings with Trevor Nelley.

Life in Addictive Eaters Anonymous provides me with the freedom to have great adventures

Before I came into the fellowship of Addictive Eaters Anonymous, I lived full of fear, resentment, self-pity, shame, and self-obsession. My eating was completely out of control and I could no longer stop eating even though I really wanted to and went to great lengths to try and stop. My world became a small and lonely existence where the only thing I looked forward to was hiding out with my food. There was no room for adventure in my life.
