SUMMARY:Crystal Sound Bath and Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony

SUMMARY:Wine and Crime Murder Mystery Night
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our first Wine and Crime Murder Mystery Night at Fairfield House! \nThe theme is: A Dickensian Christmas “Murder at the Mistletoe Ball”.\nAn Original Immersive Theatre Experience at Historic Fairfield House. \nCreated by the award-winning team behind The Barden Party and proudly produced by Fairfield House\, this brand new immersive murder mystery is a festive night of secrets\, scandal\, live music\, and Victorian intrigue. \nIt’s 1874\, and the newly widowed Lady Rose Blackthorne has invited a curious collection of guests to Fairfield House for a midwinter Christmas ball—the first since the untimely death of her husband\, Lord Blackthorne. The occasion? A celebration of the Christmas season… and the reading of his final will. And you are invited.  \nBut as long-lost heirs return\, fortunes are contested\, and old family tensions reignite\, something darker simmers beneath the tinsel and wassail. Strange happenings unsettle the night\, and when a murder occurs\, every guest becomes both suspect and sleuth. \nInspired by A Christmas Carol\, Agatha Christie\, Cluedo\, and Knives Out\, this murder mystery experience blends sharp wit\, historical flair\, and interactive sleuthing in a candlelit Victorian setting. \nExpect 2 hours of mystery\, midwinter Christmas charm\, and live music woven through a richly theatrical evening.  \nCostumes requested. Ticket holders will receive character invitations with backstories\, costume suggestions\, and arrival instructions after booking – names and email addresses of EACH participant must be entered so characters can be sent individually. Participants will be able to interact as much or as little as their comfort levels allow. Tickets are limited to 50 participants only so get in quick. \nVenue: Fairfield House\, Nelson\nDuration: 2 hours \nPrice: $65 per person – includes a drink on arrival and festive nibbles.\nLimited tickets – bookings essential. Book now.\nPeriod music\, suspicious guests\, and yuletide secrets await… \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Zen Public Talk: Meeting Adversity Honestly
DESCRIPTION:With Zen Buddhist Teacher Shugen Roshi. Everyone experiences difficult people\, circumstances\, times and lives. In this evening discussion\, we’ll explore how our meditation practice – mindfulness\, compassion and clear seeing – help us develop our natural capacity to meet adversity with patience and equanimity\, kindness and compassion. Yet\, although these are important virtues in Buddhist practice\, if not practiced honestly\, they can be used as “blankets” that we cast over our thoughts and emotions in another attempt to avoid what is painful. Therefore\, dharma practice must be sincere and courageous if we are to truly free ourselves and bring benefit into our world. \nEntry to this by public talk is by koha.
