HIGH ATTENDANCE AT KĀPITI BEYOND THE PAGE EVENTS

Kāpiti kids experienced literature and story-telling like never before during the school holidays at this year’s Beyond the Page festival – NZ’s largest literary festival for kids.

“Over the last couple of weeks Kāpiti libraries were abuzz with literary workshops, live-performances, creative play and interactive story-telling,” says Council Library and Arts Manager, Ian Littleworth.

“It’s the second time Kāpiti has taken part in Beyond the Page, and it’s a great way of helping our kids connect with literature and develop a love of books and stories.

COPING WITH THE WINTER BLUES

Many of us find this time of year difficult to negotiate. Those who live in the Northern Hemisphere at least get Christmas and New Year to break the monotony of winter. In New Zealand we have no public holidays between Queens Birthday at the beginning of June and Labour Weekend at the end of October. Winter can feel endless and miserable.

It’s not uncommon to feel less energetic, irritable and down in the dumps over the winter months. Here are some suggestions to help manage your mood despite the short dark days, rain, wind and cold.

Ophelia

Are you always wanting to snack?

It is tiring needing food all the time for energy, mental clarity or to curb the hunger that gets created by too much insulin in your body - not to mention the cost! It is a vicious cycle and jumping off the cycle of hunger and cravings is the answer and surprisingly it does not take long with the right plan. Our clients are noticing within just a few weeks more freedom from constantly needing food. Do not blame your lack of will power. Your hormonal system is driving things but it can be settled down. If you would like a no-obligation consultation about making a change, message us to book a call with Kimba https://diabetesclinic.co.nz/

 Painting from Within - With Susan Knaap

Intuitive Painting Classes for Women

As women, we’re generally programmed to give of our precious time and energy to others – children, partners, parents – which doesn’t always leave a lot of time for us. This course is designed for women like you who need to carve out some ‘me time’ in amongst all the busy-ness. And, what better way to invest in yourself and your own care than to explore your inner creative self.

Are you ready to experience the complete freedom, joy and sense of well-being that making art has to offer? Are you ready to let go of your creative fears, grow in self-confidence and connect with like-minded others?
