How are you all going with bringing the 5 Ways to Wellbeing – Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give – into your daily life? Here at Cityscape we are beginning to feel the effects of following this kaupapa, or set of principles, that we have adopted for the new year and new decade. This issue is chocker with ideas that will help you take up the 5 Ways challenge. Far from being an imposition, they can be a lot of fun – wellbeing is a joyful state, after all.
On a sombre note, though, the events of last March left a deep scar on Christchurch and its Muslim community. There can be no better way to mark the tragedy than by finding ways to Connect with those affected, and to Give any support and aroha you can.
To Be Active, try getting off Netflix and going to a show. We are spoilt for choice, with The Court Theatre, Showbiz Christchurch, NZ Opera and the Royal New Zealand Ballet bringing some banging productions to our stages. And you’ll find it hard to sit still during Tina Turner tribute show TINA: Simply the Best.
Curiosity is the key to Taking Notice and also to Keep Learning. We have plenty of options for both, including April’s Body Mind Spirit – HEALTH EXPO, which will feature workshops on mindfulness meditation, yoga, detox for health, astrology, holistic pulsing and mediumship, among others.
And to Give, get along to disability support group Hohepa Canterbury’s fundraising art exhibition and sale in May. It’s art with heart.
