Alt Wed notice for 3 April -

The Alt Wed Group is meeting at the cafe called "Saturdays" which is in New Brighton on Wednesday 3 April at 10am ish.

Alt Wed is a relatively new name ... but it is no more than a follow on from the Traditions of the original 7Up and the Flourishing Zoom meetings - we aim to have meaningful, ongoing conversations about issues of current concern to Seven Plus and its members. 

The conversations this week are likely to include ...
  • Several of us have found "ikigai" in areas that are not closely linked to Seven Plus - perhaps it is time we paid attention to these?  Might we support each other more around our pet projects? 
  • Networking for Wellbeing is working toward clarifying its "Purposes, Activities and Values"   
    • Really briefly - aren't they all about finding purpose through activities and conversations that are in line with our values - working for the social good?  For our own mental health, our collective wellbeing, and our support of social justice and the wellbeing of our Nation and the planet?
    • And aren't they the same for Seven Plus - it's just that 7+ has a focus on transitions and concerns around wellbeing as we age?   
    • And - question - is the success of MeetUps to do with the fact that the kinds of conversations we have are to do with social concerns
  • And other stuff ... just whatever comes up - pet projects - progress around Ian's transitions65 project? - support for the "Learning Christchurch event at WEA" on 18 May? - Flourishers supporting Flourishing?  - other threads?

You are all welcome to Alt Wed -
