TONIGHT: Crystal Soundbowl Journey with Danielle, 6-7pm @ Cherish.

The lovely Danielle has been sharing her gifts with the Sound bowls on Thursdays for some time.

She has moved her lunchtime session to Thursday evenings, starting today!

The evening sessions will be fuller, with a visualisation and a longer block of sound bowl experience.
A small fee is asked for this longer session, $25-35.

Danielle is very understanding of high sensory needs, she keeps the room cosy with low lights and tones of the bowls lower, for those that are a little more sensitive.

Colorful people of Cherish....

Community is found in connection and we can always find things to connect us, to feel like we belong.

On these days, it was simply wearing the same colour!

"The strongest communities are built in ordinary moments".

You don’t have to come knowing anyone.

Many of our community began with a first visit. The smallest step into community can become the beginning of something meaningful.

We grow stronger when we gather, learn and share life together. Whether you’re joining a workshop, sharing a meal or dropping in for a conversation, we’d love to welcome you.

Here are some invitations to consider for this weekend -please see more details and timings via the link in bio and on our website www.cherishchristchurch.co.nz.

The past week or so we have shared Matariki in our community with gatherings, reflections, craft, meditation, Kai and laughter.

Mānawatia a Matariki. ✨

As the stars of Matariki rise, may we remember those who came before us, cherish the gifts we hold today, and welcome the hopes we carry into tomorrow.

May this new season fill your heart with gratitude, your home with love, and your spirit with hope. May you find joy in simple moments, strength in those beside you, and the courage to nurture the dreams beginning to grow.

From all of us at Cherish, we wish you and your whānau a joyful and meaningful Matariki.

Our meditation room will be set up with some gentle music, some creative supplies in the dining room, and tea and snacks in the lounge.

Join us tonight for a cosy boardgame of Volition. Easy to learn, hard to master!

Hosted by Dan

This is a game of strategising, calculating, misdirection, and collaboration. And it’s locally designed!

If you’ve never played before, you can be taught in 5 minutes on the night.

Easy, just turn up and make yourself at home with a hot cuppa and settle into the lounge with Dan and others to play this enticing game.
