Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:
DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

As Lynette, a resident at Edmund Hilary village, says “A lot of people still believe that you're going to a rest home. They don't know the concept of a retirement village. You go there, it's beautiful. You've got facilities. You've got activities. And you don't stop living.”
Retirement is a chapter of life that’s filled with possibility. Choose the lifestyle you want to live and proudly embrace every opportunity. It’s what Ryman residents do.

Tuesday 12th October at 1pm (see Zoom link below)
When we hear the word “grief” we often associate it with death. But grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of ANY kind. Grief is a cocktail of emotions; the conflicting feelings caused by the end or change in a familiar pattern of behaviour.
So, even though NZ’s approach is one of elimination to avoid deaths, there are many other types of loss occurring. Loss of freedom, connection, loss of health from other causes, security, jobs, businesses, relationships, holidays, loss of trust, loss of personal expression to name just a few.
Join me to learn more about society’s relationship with grief, the unhealthy coping mechanisms we adopt to deal with it, and how to hold space for yourself and others who are experiencing loss.
FREE DRAW - I would like to gift a copy of the The Grief Recovery Handbook, and 20% off a Healing Through Loss and Transition weekend retreat I'm running in November in a FREE draw eligible to those who attend.
