Come along to the first Kintsugi Workshop at the magical Bali Garden at Point Wells. Learn the magical art of Kintsugi with Artist Ema Frost in this new Workshop. You can bring along a piece of your own pottery to restore in this beautiful style. (I'll also have a few as back up if you don't have your own piece, all Levels).
Ema Frost is a talented Kiwi Artist, whose illustrations and ceramic works sit in many of our countries best galleries, and whose products and merchandise sell in the most stylish design stores and gallery shops. Her style is enchanting - quirky, feminine and colourful, and clearly influenced by her travels throughout the world, usually off the beaten track. Ema is inspired by the mystery and magic found in Japanese and Maori Folklore, and this influence can be seen throughout her captivating and detailed images.
Kintsugi
It's called kintsugi (金継ぎ), or kintsukuroi (金繕い), literally golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). This traditional Japanese art uses a precious metal – liquid gold, liquid silver or lacquer dusted with powdered gold – to bring together the pieces of a broken pottery item and at the same time enhance the breaks.
You will take away your wonderful finished work, plus your knew skills which will enable you to further your own Kintsugi in your own time.
This class is not just for budding or accomplished artists. It is for everyone to enjoy a relaxing day of art and design with Ema.
What you will take away:
A finished artwork piece
A understanding of Kintsugi
Knowledge and History of this beautiful art form.

108 Sun Salutations Fundraiser

Growth
When: Sunday 29th October 2023
Time: 7am-9.30am
Where: The Palms
In July of this year, an impactful event unfolded at Basecamp Yoga in Grey Lynn, leaving a profound mark on all who participated. A united group of like-minded individuals came together to shed light on the issue of suicide, a deeply personal concern for many. Guided by Sandey Hoskin, Lisa Elliot, Niamh Ryan, and Wendy Douglas, they engaged in 108 Sun Salutations, a practice that resonated deeply with their shared intentions. Amidst tears and laughter, a beautiful tapestry of human connection and empathy emerged.
The number 108 carries profound symbolism in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing unity, spiritual completeness, and the path to enlightenment. Each Sun Salutation nurtured not only our bodies but also our minds and spirits. Collectively, they raised over $2000 for @Lifekeepersnz, an organisation committed to equipping individuals with the skills to recognise and support those at risk of suicide.
Inspired by the success of the Grey Lynn event, another opportunity to make a difference awaits on Sunday, October 29th, amid the Palms at the Bali Garden in Point Wells. Wendy Douglas, Sandey Hoskin, Hamish Barton and Alex Davids, will once again lead 108 Sun Salutations to raise funds for @LifeKeepers through your koha donations.
We extend a heartfelt invitation for you to support this vital cause, either by participating or contributing. With love, unity, and understanding, we can be the catalyst for the change our world so desperately needs.
Let's collaboratively create a safer, more compassionate environment for those in need.
Booking is essential. Reserve your spot https://momence.com/s/88990517
Please bring a towel to place under the mats.

Stillness Workshop with Dr. Luke Sniewski
When : Saturday 11th November 2023
9am - 4pm
Where: Mandala studio
The intention of this Stillness Workshop is to combine intellectual guidance with direct experience. Once you feel how somatic practices impact your body, you'll be able to use these experiences as a reference point for future practice. Rather than playing mind games and crossing tasks off of a checklist, you’ll discover how Stillness heals the body, connects us back to our intuitive senses and teaches a new way of being in the world.
The practices you choose to support the process of change with represents only the first step. This is because how you practice is more important than the specific practice chosen. When we infuse our practice - whether yoga, meditation, or thermal stress exposure - with the quality of Stillness, we access the practices’ transformational potential. You will leave with a deeper understanding of – and greater connection to – your body, as well as self-care practices that will support you in everyday life. Your body and mind will have received the gift of recovery while you learn tools and techniques to help your relationships deepen and thrive.
