Sometimes in teaching meditation we say, “Sit like a mountain. Sit with a sense of strength and dignity. Be steadfast, be majestic, be natural and at ease in awareness. No matter how many winds are blowing, no matter how many clouds are swirling, no matter how many lions are prowling, be intimate with everything and sit like a mountain.” This is an image of equanimity. We feel everything, without exception, and we relate to it through our own strength of awareness, not through habitual reactions. Practice sitting like a mountain sometime, allowing all images and feelings and sensations to come and go, as you reside in steadfastness, watching it all arise and pass away.

Te Awhina Community Hub is the overarching charity implementing Masterton's only homeless night refuge Kims Way. A place of compassion, dignity and empowerment. A space that embraces inclusivity, based around respect and support without judgement.

Last month, we celebrated a significant milestone: the first year anniversary of Kim's Way Night
