After a few years of music sharing, we've decided it's time to play some more shows and bring music out into the city more proactively. We love to share music in various community settings: retirement communities, schools, hospitals, gardens, markets, public places, churches, concert halls, house concerts, etc...\n\nThe more, the merrier!\nPlease feel free to join us if you are an experienced ukulele player and/or singer and would like to take part in this mission of spreading joy through music, far and wide. We are an international, friendly and growing group. We're also on the lookout for percussionists or other keen instrumentalists to add more spice and flavour to our group sound. We do already have a bass player, a banjo player and some baritone and island uke players :)\n\nWe rehearse weekly on Sundays at the Nix on Nixon Street in Grey Lynn, thanks to the generous hospitality of the Ockham Collective. There is a fee of $25 per session to cover Sonia's costs and time spent arranging music, teaching parts, etc... Money earned by the group at paid performances will be used to cover expenses where relevant and occasionally to sponsor lessons or instruments (ukes) for students who cannot afford to pay for them, at Sonia's discretion. We also aim to support collaborative music projects aimed at supporting charity, raising awareness around social issues, promoting diversity and accessibility in music, ecology and sustainable living, community building, etc.\n\nPayment of $25/person/class can be made in cash on the day or directly to the following account. Bulk purchase discounts are available as follows: $120 for 5 sessions ($5 discount) or $230 for ten sessions ($20 discount). The sessions bought in bulk do not need to be consecutive, but please keep track of your own attendance diligently as it would be complicated for me to do so instead. Thanks!\n\nPlease be sure to check this page the day before attending and make sure you have RSVP'd as well. Thanks :)\n\nI'm excited to be with you all again after my extensive travels and to rehearse a repertoire of songs with layered parts and harmonies & bring them out into the city and community, to spread some much-needed joy and laughter through music in these complex times.\n\nI will be hosting weekly 12.15 to 1.30pm Sunday sessions at the Nix on Nixon Street in Grey Lynn and hope to see you there. I look forward to touching base and building some beautiful music up together.\n\nCould those of you who have not done so yet please fill in the survey form I have created, below?

It was founded by **Morgan** and **Lera** of **eartH2Ocean** and has been running for a few years now. We’re fortunate to have an amazing bunch of regulars of all levels who started their climbing passion with us! So whether you are new or a seasoned legend, please don't hesitate to come along and join us!\n\n**Newcomers**\nIf it’s your first time, aim to arrive just before 6pm as they start the belay lessons on the hour, every hour (belaying is part of the climbing experience, so you’ll need to be signed off before you can belay another climber). Once you are signed off though, you won’t need to do it again! To speed up the process, please head to Extreme Edge’s website below and sign the waiver before coming in. Just look for the blue ‘Sign our waiver’ tab at the bottom right corner. Alternatively, you can sign the waiver when you first arrive (just leave five minutes or so to finish that and get your gear before the lesson).\n\n[http://www.extremeedge.co.nz/](http://www.extremeedge.co.nz/)\n\n**Getting Started**\nWhile we list a start time of 6pm, the Meetup is really an opportunity for regulars to meet and find small groups to climb with (normally in twos or threes). **So we don’t really have a dedicated starting time or a regular place to meet.** So when you arrive, just look out for the hosts **Chris** and **Rob** or any other regulars or members who have signed up for the event. If it’s early, they’ll probably be warming up on the walls near to where the belay lessons are held. Please don’t be shy, just introduce yourselves and we’ll help out in any way we can!\n\nIf you have any questions, just post them in the comment’s section and we’ll do our best to answer. If we can, we’ll arrange to meet you otherwise, I’m sure you’ll bump into us on the wall! Quite a few of our regulars also just show up and don’t put their name down, so on most nights you’re almost guaranteed to find someone to climb with.\n\n**Why Rock Climbing?**\nRock climbing is one of the best activities you can do if you love to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. It is a great way to workout while having fun and making friends. So please come along and try something new!!!\n\n**Date & Time**\nWe aim to host at Extreme Edge every week on a **Wednesday night**. People normally **arrive between 6pm and 7pm** and climb through to **around 8:30pm**. If you arrive a bit late to join in belay lesson, don’t worry, you can climb with any of the other regulars who are signed off (you just can’t belay yourself) or you can warm up on the bouldering wall or brave one of the auto-belays! (these are automated devices that allow you to climb on your own).\n\n**Location**\n**Extreme Edge Rock Climbing, 32 Morrin Road, Saint Johns, Panmure** at the end of a long driveway. Parking is limited, so come before 6pm if you want a spot near the building, otherwise you might need to park along the street and walk a short distance.\n\n**What to Bring**\n\nHarnesses are included as part of the entry fee and you can hire shoes at reception if you don’t have your own (shoes are highly recommended). If you have your own harness, climbing shoes or a chalk bag, bring them along. Otherwise just wear comfortable clothes to move in and a water bottle.\n\n**Cost**\n\n* Adult (16yrs or over) + harness = $30.\n* \\*Adults (16yrs or over) with their own harness get a $5 discount.\n* \\*Adults with valid students ID’s, AURAC club members, Alpine club members and people from NZ Defence Force receive a 10% discount.\n* Climbing shoes are an extra to hire, just ask at the desk.\n\n**Food & Drinks**\nLimited snacks and drinks are available for purchase at Extreme Edge.\n\n**RSVP**\nIf it’s your first time, please RSVP so we can look out for you. Otherwise, just turn up and join in!\n\n**Photos**\nPlease be aware that during events we may be taking photos that these may be used to share the groups activities and possibly for marketing purposes. By participating in the events, you give permission for us to use images for such purposes.\n\n***Disclaimer***\n*We are not a tour company business.

It is strictly only 2 members from one family at a time.\n\nTraining given for both road and mountain bikes and probably just about any bicycle in between.\n\nThis won't be an event that has an auckland cycling group host present, it is simply set up to help bring a bunch of our members together for the night so you don't feel like you are going it alone... so jumpon the RSVP list and maybe even drag a friend along with you and make it a fun evening learning a new skill.\n\nNote: this workshop is the old style of mechanic workshop so it would be best to wear old clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of grease and oil on etc as you won't find any german inspired crisp white floors at this place... its a real working workshop where you get your hands dirty.\n\n**COST is $18 per session** (pay on the night - cash and eftpos available).\nNote: they also offer a \"Parent + 1 child free\" arrangment for the one $18 price to encourage family participation. It is strictly only 2 members from one family at a time.\n\n**LOCATION:** Adventure Cycles (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=9%20Premier%20Ave%2C%20Auckland) - 9 Premier Ave, Western Springs, Auckland\n\n**WHAT TO BRING:** Your bike, money and your agenda of what you want to learn for the evening.

We will occasionally venture into the realm of playful group improvisations.\n\nOne of the main challenges of playing ukulele and singing is the art of putting those two together, so we will spend time getting to know the phrasing of various songs and developing your ability to synchronise your singing and playing so you can build up the skill and confidence to eventually perform in front of an audience, if you ever wish to do so.\n\nAs I am experienced in choir singing, we will also look at some harmony singing on some of the songs.\n\n• What to bring\nA ukulele! Many of my students also find it helpful to have a strap on their ukulele.\n\nPlease tune your ukulele before the start of the lesson using an electric clip-on ukulele tuner, a tuner app on your smartphone or your ear (for those feeling very confident).

My intention is to create a \"safe zone\" for musical play and growth in good company.\n\nThanks for being part of this group and hope to see you soon!\n\nxoxo Sonia","price":"NZ$25","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1765267300000","seoName":"uke-and-singing-lesson-total-beginners-newcomers-sunday-at-4pm","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://nz.ok.com/en/city-waitakere/cate-artists-musicians/uke-and-singing-lesson-total-beginners-newcomers-sunday-at-4pm-6467421451673711/","localIds":"18","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"9bcd3b7b-80c9-43ca-b3d0-82dcf0fc4a29","sid":"9f0fc3da-8206-448d-bd40-589e87d8db8b"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1765267300912,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"artists-musicians","kycTag":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6703,6704","location":"Mt Roskill Community Library Building, 546 Mount Albert Road, Three Kings, Auckland 1042, New Zealand","infoId":"6467421441958611","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/1/e/b/highres_531689163.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Feng Shui & Bazi: Welcoming the New Year","content":"## **Feng Shui & Bazi: Welcoming the New Year**\n\n**📅 Saturday, 20 December 2025**\n**🕥 10:30am – 11:30am**\n**📍 Fickling Convention Centre**\n**🌐 English session \\| Free community event**\n\nJoin us for a light, beginner-friendly introduction to **Feng Shui** and **Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny)** — with practical tips especially adapted for life in New Zealand.\nWe’ll explore:\n\n* How to create better energy flow in Kiwi homes and apartments\n* Simple Feng Shui ideas to refresh your space for the new year\n* An easy overview of Bazi and how your personal elements influence wellbeing\n* What you can do during the “farewell the old, welcome the new” season\n* New year reminders and things to pay attention to in 2026\n\nThis session focuses on clarity, balance, and practical wisdom that anyone can use.\nAll welcome.
