Harmony Circle – Guest Presenter Sunday 25th July
Rob Robertson – Emotional Fitness Coach

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.

Rob is an Emotional Fitness Coach driven to help others grow inner resilience, freedom and self esteem.

This is also his journey of growth which started more than 30 years when he discovered how positive thinking could cover up his anxiety, self doubt and low self esteem. Then 10 years later he got a huge surprise that he had unknowingly suppressed so much anger, doubt and an array of emotions. This started his fascination with Emotional Fitness to discover everything he could about emotions and how to get out of his head to follow his heart, to be fully present.

Rob will share part of this journey as well as practical techniques to integrate negative emotions to grow our emotional range, resilience and capacity to fully understand and sense who we are, leading to higher self esteem, inner freedom and high-performance ‘flow.’

Win a Free Emotional Fitness Coaching package in the evening draw!

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

Warkworth drop off point for I Got Your Back Pack

When people escape from unsafe situations, where domestic abuse threatens to harm children, women or men they often have little more than the clothing on their backs.
The Debtfix Crew often hears about the financial fallout for these vulnerable people and now, they are doing their bit, and calling on the community to support I Got Your Back Pack.
The charity collects essential items that are given to people to help them through the crisis, with a focus on giving a bit of normality and kindness during a moment of upheaval.

Back packs full of things such as, toiletries, healthy snacks, and toys or activity books for children are distributed nationwide to organisations supporting survivors of domestic violence.

Debtfix wants people to donate new items and drop them off at their Warkworth office.

“During August we are having a big push, asking our community to bring in new things like toothpaste, shampoo, children’s books, nappies, deodorant for men or women,” says Christine Liggins, co-founder of Debtfix.

“We will get everything to I Got Your Back Pack and they will make the day for those people who need some kindness and respect.”

People can find more ideas about items required at the charity’s website, but most importantly – items must be new and where appropriate, sealed.

Donations can be delivered during office hours to Debtfix, Unit F/11 Neville Street, Warkworth.

'Play gym' trap helps capture seven stoats at pest-free Shakespear Regional Park

Seven stoats have been captured during an outbreak at Shakespear Regional Park, however it is estimated there could be around four more.

A stoat was first spotted in the 500-hectare pest-free sanctuary at the end of 2020. It later gave birth, meaning there may be up to 11 stoats wreaking havoc among the park's wildlife.

Two female stoats have been trapped this month, and last week the cameras spotted a stoat checking out a stoat “play gym” – a pile of debris placed on a log bridge and with traps inside – where one of its “presumed siblings” was trapped on July 2.

“We treat this positively as it is knowledge to inform next steps and a head start on where to target this next animal,” senior ranger at the sanctuary Matt Maitland said.

“There is genuine excitement that we are making progress, tempered with healthy realism of the task still ahead of us.”

A retired customer has a hardly used smooth top oven for sale due to a recent kitchen modification. This has hardly been used (as you will see when you view it) and represents a GOOD buy!

It cost over $1,000 new (current prices range from $1,100 - $1,300 approx, depending where you buy it online) I saw one site where it was between $1100 and $1200.

Currently it is taking up space in their garage and they want it gone, so to sweeten the pie we are chucking in the range hood (also hardly used) including 2 extra new filters, for FREE if it sells this week.

Asking price is only $650 which is a steal! Wait until you see it, when I first saw it I thought it was brand new!

See pics and call or txt me if you have any questions on 027 973 2169

Suitable for your home, bach, sleepout, granny flat or rental!

Hi Everyone !
YOU ! could easily be one of the people picked out for a reading about your future - - perhaps a new job, a change of address, or other circumstance. OR, given a message from a loved one who has passed.
INTERESTED ? Then why not pop along and be part of our friendly audience ? Many people who have joined us at our meetings have been given detailed evidence from departed friends or family members, sometimes names.
We are a non profit team of volunteers who simply provide a service for those who are interested. There is a different medium each time. The next fortnightly meeting is this Wednesday, the 14th of July, at 7:30pm, at the Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa, and,

ALL ARE WELCOME

There is an off road carpark, just look for the flashing Christmas lights. We finish around 9pm and provide free coffee, tea and chocolate biscuits afterwards. And for all this we ask only $5 to cover costs ! ( We have to hire the hall.)
People have received some amazing, enlightening and very comforting readings, as well as good advice. Once you've experienced one yourself it will change your outlook in a really nice way. Forever. So why wait ?
