Looking forward to starting off my weekend with a breath of fresh connection at our community class Saturday 9-11am @ Innermost Gardens.
We'll have a mix of veterans and people new to relational mindfulness, and I love the possibilities that creates!
One time it led to a spontaneous improvised ritual giving thanks to...a stack of apples wearing jewelry. I don't even remember how we got there 🙂

Want to shake up the routine and try something new, brave, and possibly profound tonight?
Get a gentle introduction to the rich, enlivening possibilities for interacting with others that open up through relational mindfulness at the first session of our fundamentals course tonight. Drop in, try it out, see if it's for you.
Tonight Wed 1 Nov 6-8pm @ Toi Poneke Arts Centre (in Studio 30)
Reach out if you want to join.
And don't worry, if it ends up not being your cup of tea, we'll have carrot Jenga setup 😜

Did you know that our bodies talk to each another?
Experts say over half (some even say up to 93%!) of communication is nonverbal.
Sometimes we place so much emphasis on words that we miss much of what's important, what's really being "said" through the body.
Come explore this hidden language with us this Sunday and discover the wisdom it can bring to our everyday life.

The next session of our 4-week "Fundamentals of Relational Mindfulness" Course starts next Wednesday in Wellington.
Bringing tools from mindfulness into interactions with others, we'll explore more genuine and enriching ways to relate, listening past our differences to discover our common humanity, and find greater strength in moments of uncertainty.
It's a great chance to have meaningful interactions with new folks to boost your mood through the end of the year.

For fun, here's a silly image AI made for us when we were daydreaming about the lives we want and mixing them together randomly.
Put an end to "just getting on with it" and take control of your life - it's the only on you've got (so far as I know 🙂).
Interpersonal mindfulness equips you to cut through your internal noise and uncover what's truly important, so you can create the life you want with greater ease.
Give it a go this week. Discover the new adventures waiting for you to simply recognize they are already there.

I don't think most people understand what I mean when I talk about genuine connection.
It's like trying to describe the feeling of the warm kiss of the sun on your skin on the perfect day to someone who has lived underground their whole life and has no suitable reference for it.
You offer them the chance to sample it, but they have things to do. And besides, they know the warmth of a heater, presume "it's probably not much different, and besides I have a lot to do", and carry about their day.
I sometimes wonder if everyone on the planet was given the opportunity to feel safe enough to allow themselves to experience genuine connection - would everything change?
What do you think?

Being present with someone WHO IS ALSO BEING PRESENT…wow how good that feels! So simple, yet so elusive.
Come explore the richness of “just being together” with me and like-minded folks at our koha class AWHI Yoga & Wellbeing this morning:
