Kia ora everyone
We certainly are in the thick of winter now. I hope you have fared well with not much flooding and your roofs and trampolines are safely secured.
I know we all wish winter to hurry up and be over but I think winter is meant to help us STOP!
Winter is a season of recovery and preparation. There is a season for everything as we know too well in our lives. Winter is the season for rest, relaxation, and reflection. Nature takes time off to prepare itself for the busy spring and summer to come, so why shouldn’t we? Why not take advantage of the short days, the quiet weekends at home to rest our bodies and restore our minds. The last couple of years have certainly put an extra strain on all of us whether we are aware of it or not. Winter is a good time to lay down on the couch with comfortable clothes on, drink something hot and chill out. Watch movies, be with the family. It really is a great feeling.
I hope this coming month you take the opportunity to do just that; rest, relax and reflect. Do what you need to recover and prepare for the months ahead.

TRAINING
Sally Moffatt and Rob Surtees will be in Havelock North this month delivering our Foundations for Attachment Therapeutic Training, with the first session taking place on Thursday 4th August.
This training, which is comprised of one session a week for four weeks, helps caregivers to truly understand the inner lives of the children in their care who no longer trust that caring adults will keep them safe. We show them how to become engaged with the children and guide them into a world where good care can be received safely.
We still have a few spots available, be sure to register using the link below!
