What Am I Voting On? An Invitation to participate in Community Referendum Sharing Circles
The referendum issues in the upcoming election present complex ethical challenges for us all.
YOU ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN A COMMUNITY SHARING CIRCLE at
Mapua Community Hall on Sunday 6th September at 10.00am

Transforming our emotions – a Doorway to Relating Compassionately in the World
with Mark Schrader and Kath Mitchell Friday 11th – Sunday 13th September At The Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre |
|
Is it possible to harness the intelligence of our emotions so we can connect, relate and live more fully? Emotions can create both difficulty and beauty in our communication – leading to ill feeling and confusion; harmony and mutual understanding. Is it possible to meet all of our emotions, with kindness and interest so as to reveal the wisdom aspect of the emotion to guide us – to bring forward healing and an openness in our communication in new and wholesome ways.

Coming Down to Earth - At Home in the Body, At Home in the World with Chani Grieve
October 15th - 21st At The Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre Our journey to freedom starts with the body. It offers a down-to-earth yet immediate way to connect with ourselves and align with what is real. A light in the dark, our bodies show us exactly where we are, and also the next step we need to take along our path. They are also the most direct line of communication to the wisdom and life of the earth – expressions of a living planet. By listening to our human body we learn to attune to the rhythms and intelligence of the earth body and all life. |
