Covid-19: Test, track, and trace

RONNIE SHORT AND JO RICHARDS

New Zealand enjoyed more than 100 days without any community transmission of Covid-19 but, Golden Bay, along with the rest of the country, has now been shaken out of its complacency about the need for continued vigilance.

With Auckland at Alert Level 3, and the rest of the country at Level 2, the Ministry of Health (MoH) is reminding everyone of the importance of tracking their movements and contacts so that potential cases can be quickly traced. It’s a key part of the Government’s “3Ts” strategy – test, track, and trace – which complements basic hygiene and physical distancing measures.

Although life within our borders effectively reverted to normal under Alert Level 1, the Government’s advice was still to keep track of movements and contacts, preferably by using the NZ Covid Tracer smartphone app,

heaphy track flights & shuttles

while businesses were encouraged to display a government issued NZ Covid Tracer QR code poster.

Tracer QR code poster A brief survey conducted by The GB Weekly in the week before the move to Alert Level 2, showed that many businesses were not displaying QR Code posters and customers were generally not signing in. Last Thursday, shortly after the Alert Level 2 announcement, around half of the shops in Takaka CBD clearly displayed the QR Code and also provided hand sanitiser and sign-in forms. At Level 2 all businesses must display an official QR code and by Tuesday this week premises up and down the main streets in both Collingwood and Takaka had posters in place.

Any organisation can obtain official QR code posters through the self-service webform, but a valid New Zealand driver licence is required for this online service.

Official QR codes are available from: https:// qrform.tracing.covid19.govt.nz/ It’s not only businesses that have to play by the rules; gatherings such as community sports are also affected, but can go ahead provided certain protocols are followed (see page 4 for details). Last Thursday, Golden Bay Netball played at the Rec Park Centre using managed sign-in and capped numbers at 100, while on Saturday, junior football and hockey used a combination of the tracer app and manual sign-in. Although Tasman Rugby Union cancelled all under-18 rugby, Collingwood played its Senior B fixture, albeit without spectators.

Tracer app The tracer app and the QR code poster are designed to work in tandem, to make recording movements and contacts as easy as possible for individuals and businesses.

Tracer app users can create a digital diary

of places they visit, which will help contact tracers to quickly identify and isolate anyone who may have been exposed to Covid-19 in case of a further outbreak. The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or from Google Play.

Once signed in using a secure password, the app can be used to record a visit by scanning the QR code poster, or by making a manual entry. By signing up for contact alerts, the app will let users know if they have checked into a location at the same time as a confirmed or probable case of Covid-19, so steps can be taken to protect friends and family.

Full instructions on how to use the app are provided on the MoH website but, essentially, to scan a QR code, the phone’s camera is simply pointed at the code so it fits within the target area on the screen. A manual entry can be made by tapping the “add manual entry”...

Consequently, Golden Bay Community Health recently increased its testing capacity. Although tests can be carried out at regular GP clinics, general manager Golden Bay Community Health Linzi Birmingham said a dedicated facility is available. “We are doing the drive-through testing clinics like in previous lockdown, but we need people to book in first so we can maintain this process. We are asking anyone who believes they require a swab to call the medical centre and speak to the doctor or nurse who will screen them for a test and book them in for the next clinic.”

While at Level 2, Linzi says GBCH will also be asking patients to consider virtual consultations. “We are also encouraging patients and clinicians to use either phone or video consults when appropriate.”

Anyone unsure of whether they should get a test, is advised to call Healthline for advice on 0800 358 5453.

Those requiring after-hours centre information for Golden Bay should go to: https://www.nmdhb.govt.nz/ health-services/after-hours-and-emergency-services/ Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) is currently publishing the previous day’s testing data on their website every day between 11am and 2pm. The data is stratified by territorial authority - Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, so there is no specific data for Golden Bay. For any confirmed or probable cases, NMH will confirm the basic information on its website, on both the homepage as a news story, and the main Covid-19 page. All case information will also be stratified by territorial authority.

CAS studio producing for FreshFM RONNIE SHORT

Students at Collingwood Area School can now produce their Fresh FM radio show in the school’s own studio.

A specially purposed room has been made available and kitted out with insulation panels, computers, microphones and a mixing desk.

Year 9 students Bianca Honey, Nora Becker and Grace Strange say their school principal, Hugh Gully, approached them about starting a radio station at CAS. They had experienced problems with transport into the Takaka studio, as it was quite demanding on busy parents.

“We had a lot of stuff-ups,” said Bianca.

Maureen Urwin, programme development co-ordinator from Fresh FM visited and liaised by phone with her technical crew to assess what equipment wo u l d b e n e e d e d. T h e sound insulation panels for the walls came first, then a new computer, two specialpurpose microphones and a small mixing desk.

CAS teacher Jonny Hanlon hooked everything up for the team so they can pre record their programmes. “The only problem is that we have no headphones,” said Bianca.

A change of computer may also be required, Nora added.

“I think we’re getting rid of the Mac – we would get the right version of Adobe Audition, which is the programme we use. So we are waiting for the right version of Windows.”

Despite these issues, their first show is scheduled to air on 19 August from 4pm to 5pm.

They call their group “The Radio Club”, and their aim is to train younger students to take over the role once the trio is confident with the new equipment.

“We basically just write out our songs and what we want to play,” said Grace.

“We talk about Covid-19 and stuff like that,”

added Bianca. They also intend to interview people wherever possible.

Hugh affirmed that the travel into Takaka had been problematic, and said that after lockdown he approached the girls about establishing a radio studio at the school.

“It’s not been expensive. We just put it all together ourselves. It’s taken a while but we’re ready now.”

Summing up the aim of The Radio Club, Hugh explained: “It’s a reflection of news and events from Collingwood, not the school. We really want to find out about the community and the people in Collingwood.”

NEWS IN BRIEF Club may sink without coaches

Restoring common sense

It is heartening to see that we still have sane people in the world and in this case, more especially, here in Golden Bay. Both Steve Penny’s (The ‘R’ word) and Alan Beardmore’s (Starving pigeons) letters were a dissertation in measured common sense. The words and actions of those who inspired these letters were, however, a very good example of the silliness and lack of common sense that collective conditioning always engenders. So thanks Steve and Alan for restoring my faith in society’s ability to even think.

Silence is complicity indeed. Starving pigeons due to global warming indeed.

Larry Petterson

A robust debate?

JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay Swimming Club is readying for the new season, but due to the uncertainties with Covid-19 and work priorities, it no longer has a sufficient number of coaches to run a full programme.

Club president Shelley Grell says the committee are trying to find a way to open and avoid skipping a year. “We are looking at a number of options, including fast tracking coach training and offering a reduced programme.”

Shelley points out that the club has a proud history of teaching the sport. “Our valued swimming club has been running in the Bay for as long as anyone can remember and offers the only affordable public learn to swim lessons and competitive training in the Bay.” She encourages the community to get involved with the club. “We have a strong team committed to ensuring the availability of learn to swim lessons for our Golden Bay kids and we welcome all who wish to contribute. You are also welcome to attend our AGM.” Anyone with coaching experience and/or is a strong swimmer who would like to help the club keep swimming alive in the Bay, should email gbswimming@gmail.com or phone Shelley on 021 747 355 before 31 August.

GB Swimming Club AGM is at 7pm on Wednesday 9 September at the Rec Park Centre, Golden Bay.

Community sport at Alert Level 2 SUBMITTED

At Covid-19 Alert Level 2, all gatherings are restricted to 100 people.

However, community sport is able to continue with some extra measures in place. Rec Park Centre, Golden Bay has the NZ Covid-19 Tracer app posted at the door and inside.

Everyone entering the facility, for meetings, indoor sports or even to access the water bottle station and the public toilets is required to sign in. The Rec Park Centre is divided into sectors, entrance, community room, clubrooms, squash corridor and gallery and NBS stadium. Each sector is restricted to 100 with manual sign-in. Paper records are retained for eight weeks.

Each sports code using the recreation park needs to restrict gatherings to 100 (in their area). The clubs playing are football, hockey, rugby and tennis and each one must have their own NZ Covid-19 Tracer app. Each club will need to request that the attendance of players, coaches and spectators is recorded on personal phones.

Everyone needs to be aware of physical distancing from adjoining clubs on the fields. The two-metre guideline is prudent and masks are considered optional unless travelling on public transport or shopping in crowded environments.

The date for submissions for a local board for Golden Bay has closed.

Mayor Tim King is reported to have said, “the Council hoped its submission was seen to contribute to a fuller discussion and help enable a robust debate in the benefits and appropriate costs of a local board for Golden Bay “. I would have thought their submission would have been in the TDC propaganda publication Newsline, which is distributed to every resident and ratepayer in the district. To tell everybody it is on their website is no good for the residents who are unable to go there.

I am sorry that I missed the “robust debate.”When and where was it held?

Think ahead when voting

Here’s an exercise for you; personify the planet as a parent who nurtures us in a myriad of different ways every day with its daily support thus enabling our lives. Because of this we wouldn’t want to have this enabling entity disrespected, ripped off, impoverished and therefore weakened.

Next, think ahead to the looming future of your children and grandchildren. Do we really care enough about their survival to put them ahead of our immediate gratifications and selfish interests? I’m going to assume that you’re generous people and will say yes to this.

Then look at the various political parties looking for our votes. How driven are they by personally enriching motivations and how much by a desire for the survival of life on this planet, as we know it to be at present?

Doing this certainly clarifies my voting choices.

terrorism.” - Wikipedia.

From his previous correspondence it is evidenced that Steve Penny is violent in his language use and from this I gather that he is deliberate in his anti-black attempts to cause harm.

I hope that The GB Weekly will seriously reconsider giving this violent man such a regular public platform for his attempts at oppression.

Emma Callaghan

Call for unity divisive

With respect Steve Penny, (GBW 24/7, 31/7, 7/8, 14/8) it is difficult to reconcile your continued call for “unity” as a means to counter racism when your correspondence on race issues has been consistently divisive; peppered with ill-thought-out metaphors, violent language, passive aggression, and topped off with accusations towards community folk.

While Mr Penny may not see the contradictions between what he says, how he says it, and to whom he directs it from week to week, white and Pākehā BIPOC allies do. After apologising on your behalf to our black, bi-racial and indigenous friends who are affected by your words, we ask - as pākehā - that you reflect on the vacillatory and inflammatory nature of your correspondence, and take time to listen, learn, and broaden your understanding of racism and white supremacy.

Perhaps keeping a personal journal to record your future pendulations, and reading educational texts such as Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad will support this process.

Meet the candidates meetings postponed

Golden Bay Grey Power and Golden Bay Rural Women NZ had organised two opportunities (Collingwood and Takaka) to meet the candidates for West Coast/Tasman on 5 September.

However with the new election date now 17 October that day is no longer suitable.

Parliament will now sit until Sunday 6 September and nominations are now open again, until 18 September, for further candidates to offer themselves for our electorate.

Additionally, with the Covid-19 level 2 restrictions on numbers at gatherings set at 100, this may also pose a problem.

Accordingly, we have decided to postpone this meeting until we have more clarity about the pandemic situation.

If possible we will attempt to find a suitable date after 18 September, and before advance voting opens on 3 October, but this will all be dependent on Covid-19 rules.

Poor choice of phrases

Did you notice that Steve Penny used 11 references to death or injury in his letter (GBW 14/8)? I am curious about his word choices and nervous about his intentions.

Amongst those phrases was the repetition of the horrific phrase that he was intending to apologise for because of the harm it caused black readers. He then used another word that I find particularly harmful.

After his apology for using poorly chosen language that caused harm he used the word lynch in his letter. Lynchings were infamously used before during and after the American civil war. “The purpose (of lynchings) was to enforce white supremacy and intimidate black people through racial

Cats disappearing in Collingwood

It’s a cat’s life SUBMITTED BY GOLDEN BAY ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY INC

RONNIE SHORT

Residents living in Collingwood are disturbed by the number of their beloved pets that have been disappearing from homes along Beach Road, Gibbs Road and most recently, Washington Street.

“At least 10 cats have gone missing,” said Ginny Hope.

None of the cats have been found, either alive or dead.

Ginny and husband Pete are distraught over the very recent disappearance of their cat Steve, the third cat they have lost over the past three years. Steve is a Maine Coon, a pedigree breed, specially bred as companion animals.

“They are very much like a dog,” explained Ginny. “They are loyal and have a real connection with their person, both physically and vocally.”

Two of the three pets they ’ve lost have been Maine Coons, but Steve was particularly special to Pete and his disappearance has been devastating. Pete and Ginny are offering a reward for any information leading to Steve’s whereabouts, or even his remains, so that they can have closure.

“I know some people think ‘it’s just a cat’,” acknowledged Ginny. “But it’s not – they are companions. How would it be if it was a dog? That’s what it’s like for us.”

They understand that Ginny Hope, left, with Sylvester and daughter Meg with Lewis.

Members of Golden Bay Animal Welfare (GBAW ) committee share over 100 years of cat-related experience.

One member, Carol Wells, has been involved with stray and sick cats and kittens for over 40 years.

A good place to start a discussion about Golden Bay’s cats is with a few definitions: Companion cat: A common domestic cat that lives with humans.

Stray cat: A companion cat that is lost or abandoned.

Feral cat: Is not a stray cat. It’s rare to see a feral cat unless your property backs on to native bush.

Why does this matter? Because of the law. Companion cats and stray cats are legally protected and it can be an offence to trap or kill them, leading to a possible fine and/ or imprisonment.

According to GBAW, there are currently three main issues with companion cats in Golden Bay: De-sexing: A single female cat will produce an average of 180 kittens in her lifetime, while a tom cat will mark his territory, and get involved in fights. Both male and female cats are much healthier, and tend to wander less, if they have been de-sexed. The optimum time to de-sex a cat is at five months of age. Anyone who adopted a kitten from GBAW in the past 12 months and needs help using their de-sexing voucher is advised to contact them.

Lost cats: Sadly, lost cats in the Bay are common. The story doesn’t always have a happy ending, but needn’t start at all. When moving house, ensure the cat is locked inside its new home for at least two weeks before letting it out.

When it is let it out for the first few times, ensure it is during daytime and keep an eye on it. If you have lost a cat, please contact GBAW as they keep a register of lost cats and they often are delivered to them as strays by the general public.

Identification: Most cats do not carry an ID card, which makes it very difficult to quickly reunite it with its owner.

If your cat is caught in a trap how will it be identified as a companion animal? For owners who do not want to microchip their cat, they should ensure it is wearing a quick release collar with a phone number clearly indicated.

GBAW assist people with trapping stray cats, and nurse them back to health before offering them for adoption along with a discount voucher for the de-sexing operation.

They also have kitten specialists who tame and socialise the kittens.

If you have any questions, or know of a stray cat needing rescuing, please contact Carol Wells on 525 9494.

Olive and Rosemary Cheese Scones are especially delicious when served with winter soups. Photo: Fiona Manson.

MOTUEKA

Winter food should be warm, comforting, and full of nutrients, but it’s sometimes lacking in FLAVOUR. Compared to vibrant summer fare, cooler-weather vegetables have a milder taste, and without the addition of herbs or spices can sometimes be rather bland.

So, ramp things up a bit and get creative with what most people do have access to, even in the simplest home garden.

The addition of parsley, sage, rosemary, or thyme can enhance many winter dishes, whether vegetables, fish, chicken or meat.

Simple mashed potato comes to life with taste and appearance when some finely chopped parsley or thyme and a spoonful of grainy mustard are stirred through before serving. Cheese scones embrace the addition of finely chopped rosemary, as does shortbread. A favourite pasta dish is to add a good lump of butter to a pan along with a swirl of olive oil.

Heat and add some crushed garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes.

Allow to sizzle without colouring before returning the freshly cooked spaghetti to the pan along with a small handful of chopped parsley. Turn to coat each strand and when they are all speckled with the buttery herbs serve immediately with plenty of ground pepper, salt, and grated parmesan cheese.

How can something so simple taste so good?

Fresh sage leaves, gently fried in sizzling butter until just crisp, can be added to cooked pasta along with the flavoured butter and grated parmesan cheese— and it tastes like a masterpiece! Cooked this way they are just as good spooned over eggs of any kind, in soup, risotto, mashed pumpkin, ravioli or gnocchi. Sage became known as “sage the saviour” in Medieval times, due to the life-extending properties of the plant. One such believer was a man called John Evelyn, who proclaimed in 1699 that “Tis a plant, indeed, with so many and wonderful properties as that the assiduous use of it is said to render men immortal”. Well…I guess thyme will tell.

Today it seems to be used mostly in stuffing for chicken, which is a shame. Try adding some sage leaves to a pot of simmering white beans, pumpkin soup, roast chicken, omelette, lamb burger patties or risotto. Sauté lamb chops

Tuck a few stalks of sage, rosemary or thyme alongside your next roast or roughly tear them over a pan of roasted root vegetables. Warm some olives in a pan with a small amount of very good olive oil, a sprig of thyme and some chili flakes. Leave to cool and infuse before eating. All will benefit.

This recipe is delicious served with soup. We enjoyed it with a pumpkin, leek and white bean soup accompanied by a few sage leaves.

Review: The King of Staten Island

Screening Schedule Fri 21 4.30

This Town (M) The King of Staten Island (R16) Matinee: The Personal History of David Copperfield (PG) (Final)

***Live Theatre*** DramaLAB presents ‘Ark-atypical’

ALISTAIR HUGHES

Producer/director and writer Judd Apatow’s films usually fall into the surreal and vulgar humour category, as titles like The 40 year Old Virgin and Knocked Up indicate.

The King of Staten Island is a move towards comedy with a more distinctly dramatic edge, and centres on 24-year-old attention-deficient Scott Carlin (Pete Davidson).

Since childhood, Scott has failed to cope with the death of his fireman father, and his arrested development sees him still living at home, unemployed and wasting his days with similarly aimless and constantly stoned friends. When Scott’s younger sister leaves for college, his mother Margie (brilliantly played by the ageless Marisa Tomei), finally decides to start living life for herself again. His own long-stagnant life now in turmoil, Scott immediately comes into conflict with his mother’s well-meaning new boyfriend Ray, who is, unfortunately, also a fireman. Unable to help himself, Scott destroys any last remaining goodwill towards him in a self-destructive overreaction.

If the humour seems difficult to find in that description, that is because it most often comes from character interactions rather than the potentially bleak and often cringeworthy situations Scott creates (intentionally or otherwise). Pete Davidson brings the energy of a very young Jeff Goldblum to this twitchy and challenging character, and his inability to ever say or do the right thing may test an audience’s patience. But this is balanced just in time by unexpectedly delightful scenes such as Scott being made to walk Ray’s kids to school, where he relates immediately with their child’s view of the world. Scott’s conversations with Ray’s acidic former wife are comedy gold, as they bond over their mutual dislike of the fireman.

Armed with biased information, Scott’s subsequent attempt to sabotage Ray’s relationship with his mother backfires badly when the two men’s resulting tussle ends in Margie throwing them both out. Ray returns to the firehouse and Scott quickly realises that he has no other option but to follow his bitter adversary there. What results gives this film its heart and soul and casts some of Scott’s earlier excesses in a more forgiving light.

The King of Staten Island has a tone that some have described as uneven, but uncertain might be a better description. Much like being in the company of someone like Scott, you are never entirely comfortable, and always anxiously braced for the unexpected and awkward. Unfortunately, a further parallel might be drawn in that time spent in Scott’s orbit seems to pass a little too slowly. This is a long film, but the emotional payoff at the end will make the journey a rewarding one.

In another director’s hands the story could easily tip into bleak and hopeless at certain junctures, but the brilliantly quirky characters peppered throughout always maintain levity and a twisted gleefulness even in the darkest situation.

Although the film is clearly a vehicle for upcoming comedian and actor Pete Davidson, it is the supporting cast who bring the most enjoyment.

The dialogue of Scott’s stoner friends is frequently hilarious, enhanced by perfect deadpan delivery. Their farcical pharmacy burglary attempt is a highlight of the film, made even more of a travesty by “lookout” Scott’s preoccupation with playing games and viewing Tinder on his phone while all hell breaks loose inside.

The tough love delivered by Scott’s mother and Ray makes you instantly warm to these finely drawn characters, and Steve Buscemi’s now-greying hair helps bring new gravitas and authority to his role as the crusty but kind old fire chief.

Even minor parts like Scott’s sister and Ray’s ex are imbued with a depth that suggests an entire unseen history for these background characters.

Ultimately The King of Staten Island brings an inspiring message of hope, and that is always welcome, particularly in these current times.

The Golden Bay Heritage Society AGM was held at the Takaka Fire Station recently. Plaques created this year and soon to be installed at various sites in town were on display: one each for the council chambers, Arnold Sparrow’s blacksmiths and the stock drovers. The plaque for Gran Wigzell’s Collingwood maternity home was installed earlier in the year.

Society chair Barry Cashman acknowledged not only the local families who gave helpful information but also the overall appreciation shown by the community for the work of the organisation.

The committee, minus Jane McDonald (who is standing down), will remain the same: chair Barry Cashman, secretary/ treasurer Sally Gaffney, Joanne Coleman, Les Clarke, Julie Reilly, Gerald Langford, Paul Sangster, Blue Horton and Wendy McLellan.

Barry thanked his “enthusiastic” and talented committee, particularly Sally for her tireless work assisted by Julie on research, Jane for her input and vast knowledge of Golden Bay history, and Les for many hours spent making and installing mounts assisted by right-hand man Blue.

The Heritage Trust has produced 35 plaques and a number of signs around the district, totalling around 50, with few now

left to complete in town. Seven road signs have returned place names back to original names; Cassidy’s Corner, the Long Cutting, Rogers Bank, Stott’s Corner, Manson’s Corner, the Burnt Section and McCartney’s Hill.

Discussions have taken place regarding putting a plaque at the old Takaka Hill Drummond house [Stardust ranch] that burnt down, and on the shared walkway to the hospital.

Application has been made for extra funding to re-erect the 100-year-old flagpole outside the museum that was once outside the postmaster’s residence. Funding is also needed to produce new copies of the plaques brochure for the museum’s summer exhibition, “Commercial Street”.

Penny Griffith congratulated the society for being one of the most effective voluntary groups in Golden Bay for providing useful public and historic information. She also praised Blenheim’s Riverside Railway for the valuable restoration work carried out on Donald the historic Puponga steam engine, again operational.

Finally, a former resident and supporter of Heritage Society, Paul Clements, in Takaka for the day, acknowledged the work of the organisation in keeping the history of Golden Bay alive.

The meeting wound up with entertainment by the “much loved trio”, Alan Swafford, Robin Manson and Geoff Rennison.

“The results were impressive. We want to thank MSS for this opportunity,” says arts coordinator Elvira van der Waay.

“Mohua Social Services would like to thank all the staff and young people involved in making this happen. The cards are beautiful and are a delight for us to give to members of the community to express our appreciation.

We are lucky to have many people to thank for helping us in so many different ways,” says MSS manager Premal Gauntlett.

A recent collaboration between the art department of Golden Bay High School (GBHS) and Mohua Social Services has produced a unique range of thank-you cards.

Mohua Social Services sends thank-you cards to people in the Golden Bay community who support and help them in several different ways.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

SUBMITTED

The region’s future leaders were brought together in the July school holidays (from across Nelson and Tasman) to attend an Inspiring Leaders Programme at Whenua Iti Outdoors.

Three students from Golden Bay High School– Ellie Hopkins, Mo Balfour and Zoe Carlton attended, as did Devon Morris-Brown from Collingwood Area School.

This was the first time the programme has been run, funded by Tasman District and Nelson City Councils.

The course focused on the development of key skills to enable students to feel confident and inspired to take up future leadership positions.

Students were introduced to a range of leadership styles, which gave them an insight to themselves as leaders as well as how to recognise the strengths of their team. Armed with this knowledge they then put it all into practice in teambased activities and challenges.

Guru Ji’s philosophy is “live life and not spend it”. Shed the old that is not serving you any good. Photo: Supplied.

Popularly known as “modern yogi in jeans”, yogi Aikam Aikoham Nath Ji left his successful business career in New Zealand to live deep in the Himalayan Mountains as he journeyed into his intense sadhana (clearing consciousness to be the infinity within) in Badrinathji and Kailash Manimahesh.

His philosophy is “live life and not spend it”. Shed the old that is not serving you any good and “rise from within”.

In Takaka, Guru Ji is offering satsang and healing. Satsang, a lively, ancient spiritual practice from India is derived from the sanskrit words, “sat” – the essence of reality and “sang” – community. Satsang refers to the meeting of people who gather and engage in a relaxed conversation about the nature of reality, self-realisation, spiritual life, and all aspect of human experience from the most ordinary to the most cosmic.
