Nice story I didn't know about #TheBeattles George Harrison garden and forest. BRAVO🙏🌳🐦🕉️
Great to do it when we can.
We too plant trees and regenerate out little land we are grateful custodians of.
The reward is beauty, abundance and #Love of nurturing a garden.

Quality time #inthegarden with our vegetables, tidying up, aerating the soil, making space for the growing plants. I smiled all the way, absolutely merge in the Earth with love and #gratitude, I know nature will reward us ten folds. So abundant.

$500,000 to just Bill English to provide one bogus report on Kainga Ora so the Govt could reduce public housing.
$1m to countless marae in NZ providing food, shelter, clothing, reassurance, a bed, wraparound support and assistance and $200,000 to others & Luxon thinks he’s being generous. #nzpol

As the #energytransition is happening even without government support, it's interesting to read that 64% of people believe renewables are a better option.
The poll also shows people haven't connected yet with the current government damaging actions. #nzpol

This #NZgovernment agrees that #climate change is human induced!👏
But they:
- stopped all the previous government infrastructure progress when they arrived 2 years ago
- pushed away the climate commission recommendations
- cancelled or reduced climate goals
- can't afford repairing, nor help? #nzpol

#meditation 🕉️ is an important enabler of #change. By calming the mind, unfixing ideas, opening space for new, relaxing and regenerating bodies and energy, we operate differently. Letting go, in the flow. And it's easy and free. It changed my world and I believe it can change the world.
