Festivals - Events - Creative Workshops
Hello everyone,
This time of year often feels like a gentle shift as we move towards winter, although we are still enjoying some warm days, which really help lift the mood.
I will be part of a few wellness events, retreats, and community programmes over the coming weeks, all focused on slowing down a little, feeling more balanced, and bringing simple habits into everyday life. Often, it is the small things we do each day that can really support how we feel.
I also believe we learn so much from each other through everyday life, and the way we look after ourselves can naturally have an effect on the people around us. For me, wellness is really about keeping things simple, staying connected, and supporting each other in small, meaningful ways.
On the other hand, if you would like me to join your group at a time and place that suits you, I am very happy to come along and share a simple wellness talk. It does not need to be formal or part of an event space. I can come to your group and keep it relaxed and easy, with gentle conversations around everyday wellbeing, food, and small habits that support balance and calm in daily life.
There are many events coming up through our auckland in warm community spaces. Most are free or have a small contribution. You are welcome to take a look through the links below to get to know more, or email me if you would like to connect or have a chat.
With warmth and gratitude,
Anju

Learn about the ancient board game Chopat.
Chopat is a traditional team-based game enjoyed across generations, designed to bring people together through simple and joyful play. Easy to learn and suitable for all ages, it creates moments of laughter, connection, and relaxed interaction.
Our mind processes thousands of thoughts daily—many looping, unresolved, and quietly weighing you down. Journaling is a gentle, healing practice.
Let your journal become a space for peace and self-discovery.
Which butter is best to use every day?
Butter in moderation can be part of a balanced diet. It has vitamins like A, D, E, and K, and choosing unsalted varieties can be better for heart health and cholesterol.
The key is balance, and choosing what makes sense for your body.
