Mental Health 101 by grow.org.nz Grow offers a school for living for better mental health, taught during weekly meetings. Overly negative thoughts, feelings and anxieties are too common a problem. The Grow Programme offers a structured way to connect with other people and learn together healthy ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. The Grow Programme is introduced in this ongoing weekly meeting at our new regular Thursday 6:30 weekly meeting time. “Learning to work with your feelings means learning to be confident even when you feel afraid or depressed. Feelings are like horses and you are like the rider. With training, you and your feelings become a single team.” “The spiritual dimension is at the core of Grow. The human person is nurtured through understanding, encouragement, acceptance and friendship, all of which reflect the spiritual. In Grow, spirituality is not tied to any particular religious belief or tradition.” Our new Thursday 6:30 Zoom weekly Grow meeting is starting. Feel free to attend any or all of the sessions. There is no cost to attend and no referral is needed. Time: Thursdays 6:30-8:30pm Duration: ongoing weekly meeting Session 1 - Feelings and Anxieties Session 2 - Friendship and Mental Health Session 3 - Developing our Personal Value Session 4 - The Three Basic Changes to Better Mental Health

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest!

According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages. **WHAT DOES IT COST?** We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town. **NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:** We post our events on various platforms.
