Flourishing Group 2024 - email 05/04/2024

 

Hi everyone

This is an update on the Flourishing arrangements.  June and I (Elaine) have talked everything over and all seems to be falling into place.  I am tidying up some stuff and want to talk with you each separately about it - but meantime here are some facts. 

(1) We have a Zoom meeting with Viv McAlister and Bernie White from the Third Age Foundation in Wellington at 9.30 am on Monday 15 April. 
  • The purpose of this meeting is for you and the organisers in Wellington (Viv and Bernie) to meet each other.  This is an opportunity to hear a little more about the programme as a whole and the research that is linked with it.  They are keen to meet you, and to answer your questions.  
  • Some of you are unable to attend the Zoom meeting.  I am keen to sort out how a buddy system might work so you and someone who cannot attend can have a catch up and a chat. 
  • Please talk with me (or someone else) if you would like help with Zoom. 
(2) Our first face-to-face meeting is at St Nicholas Church on the corner of Barrington and Frankleigh St (parking off Frankleigh St).  We have the lounge booked from 2 - 3.30pm
  • This meeting will be a relaxed session in which we get to know each other and chat about the six main threads of the Flourishing programme.  We will also talk about our ground rules so that we can be sure about things like confidentiality and respect for different points of view etc.
  • Our group that did this programme in 2022 figured out that this cartoon fitted us.  We were embarking on a shared journey! 
Ngā Mihi - let's talk soon about my tiny list of trivial questions
