Hi Auckland,

What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?

Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.

Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.

Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used by Stuff.

On Tomorrow!
Harmony Circle – Guest Presenter Sunday 21st February
Jefferson Chapple - An array of skill sets

Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 Koha – Harmony Circle is non-profit.

Jefferson will give an overview of the four main life skill modalities he teaches.
Conscious Connected Breathing – How to restore your breathing to its natural and free condition.
Creative Process - the techniques and self-work involved in manifesting your desired results.
Higher Power Dialogue - This is about obstacle removal and the process of asking for and receiving help from the One Mind.
Belief Upgrades - Processes for deliberately overhauling negative beliefs, labels, programming, and scripting you have been running on so far.
Jefferson will also demonstrate, with a volunteer, one of the most useful processes of all for keeping your relationships as healthy, and as authentic, as possible. The process is called "Identification Checks". It’s used to undo and 'clean up' any and all projections that may be unconsciously infecting and distorting any of your relationships.
A detailed explanatory handout will be available.

Win a FREE Obstacle Removal Consultation with Jefferson in the evening draw!

Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!

Is it OK in these Covid times to de-mask for a beer or a coffee on a ferry?

Todd Niall Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi Neighbours, If mask-wearing is mandatory on all public transport, why are more people not getting pulled up for failing to do so. And does it make sense to allowed masks to drop for a beer, wine or coffee? Read the story below:
