Nelson City’s Autobiography in Buildings with Christopher Vine
2024-06-09 14:00 - 16:00
Fairfield House warmly invites you to join us on:
Sunday 9 June 2024 2pm
Nelson City’s Autobiography in Buildings.
A virtual stroll around our City with Christopher Vine.. an illustrated talk.
To be followed by the unveiling of Christopher’s mural for Fairfield and afternoon tea.
“During the 60 years I have made Nelson my home, recording and writing about its buildings, the truth of Ruskin’s view that nations inadvertently write their own autobiography in their art and architecture has become evident. Even at the scale of one small city, I think it is possible to draw conclusions about society from early colonial times to present merely by looking around us. As a former conservation architect in England, I have written many illustrated articles about New Zealand since arriving in 1964, culminating in material for my book, Nelson Observed”.
Tickets here – $10. RSVP essential.
If the $10 entry fee is a barrier to you attending we still welcome you. Please get in touch with Catherine on 027 467 2127 to book your place.

Takadimi
2024-06-14 19:00
Takadimi, led by Manjit Singh, is a cross-cultural musical odyssey merging ancient classical Indian, jazz, and world music forms in the space of a single performance.
Collaborating with exceptional musicians from both New Zealand (Nathan Haines, Avantdale Bowling Club) and India (Taufiq Qureshi, Dilshad Khan) Takadimi’s compositions represent a fusion of cultures, bridging gaps between Eastern & Western genres.
Manjit Singh, recognized for his innovative arrangements, received high acclaim for his integration of Indian classical elements in a nominated song for the prestigious 2019 Silver Scrolls. Having studied under the tutelage of tabla maestro Fazal Qureshi from Mumbai and holding degrees in Musicology and Jazz, Manjit Singh is globally respected as a hybrid musician, bridging the worlds of Indian and mainstream music.
His passion for teaching Indian classical music led him to being a leader in the New Zealand Indian community and, more recently, as a faculty member at the University of Auckland.
Together, Manjit Singh and Daljeet Kaur form the soul of Takadimi, adding an extra layer of richness between calming and electric modals. One moment, the audience may be lulled into a trance by the ethereal Hindustani vocals and sitar playing of Daljeet; their souls carried away on waves of harmonic sound. And in the next instant, the room pulses with vibrant energy as Manjit takes the stage, his fingers dancing across the tabla, playing melodic rhythms faster than one can keep pace of, yet perfectly synchronized to the tight Jazz progressions of his fellow talented band-members.
With their distinctive sound and a shared vision of bringing Indian arts into the mainstream, Takadimi invites listeners on a musical journey that celebrates the power of cultural collaboration.
DOORS OPEN – 7PM
MUSIC – 7:30PM

2024-06-16 18:30 - 20:30

This session is about using your voice to drop into your body in a more blissful and expansive way, opening ourselves up to powerful and transformational vibrational shifts.
We will sit together, in ceremonial space, using the chants and songs as a way to activate;*a meditative state*free vocal expression*intention and prayer*reconnection to self and others*emotional release*fun and fullness

This August the international trio PANGAEA will again be touring NZ where they will showcase their blend of Indian and Western music in a series of concerts throughout the South Island and lower North Island.
It has been 4 years since the groups last NZ tour was unexpectedly cut short due to Covid19, forcing the trio to cancel its remaining shows and scramble for the last seats on the last flight out of the country back to India.
In the interim the trio has maintained a distant working relationship and there have been reunions in India for tabla player Saptak’s marriage and in 2023 for a successful tour of India.
This years NZ tour will be covering some of the ground left aside in the previously abandoned tour, letting the audiences there finally get the chance to hear the group perform live.
For those who are new to the group, this will be a chance to experience two of India’s top young Hindustani Classical musicians melding their ancient style together with Western Classical, Folk and modern Singer songwriter traditions.
Consisting of Saptak Sharma (2019 All India Tabla Comp. winner) on Tabla and percussion, Mayank Rainer on Bansuri (Flute) and Sitar, and Mike Hogan (NZ) on Guitar and Vocals, PANGAEA covers a wide range of styles in their shows.
From Indian Classical through to Irish, South American, Bollywood, Blues, Folk and more, the group showcases the diversity of its musicians and follows the ethos of PANGAEA, a universal musical continent where all genre of sounds can reside. Be ready to be taken away by the stunning speed and dexterity of India’s best and the beautiful form and harmony of the West.

2024-10-06 09:00 - 13:00
About the hosts for the event:

We are a group of Ren Xue/Qigong teachers from the Nelson area. We teach Yuan Gong in various locations both online and in-person. Yuan Gong is an innovative Qigong system to enhance all aspects of life: health, happiness, well-being and our ability to contribute to life in a way that is truly beneficial to all. It is ultimately designed to help people develop wisdom (self-realisation). Yuan Gong is a subsystem of the Ren Xue Wisdom teachings. For more information you can visit Ren Xue International’s website
About the movie:
“Any Given Moment” is the miraculous story of Norberto Rodrigues, a young Portuguese man who turned to ancient mind-body practices in a last-ditch effort to heal a totally debilitating back injury. We see how the Ren Xue Wisdom taught by Yuan Tze (a Chinese Qigong teacher living in New Zealand) and Norberto’s practice enabled him to heal himself. But his physical healing was just the beginning. Through his dedication and perseverance, Norberto not only healed his back injury, but he also found himself on an unexpected journey of inner growth, awakening to true freedom.

An intimate Cosmic Activation Immersion, Cacao Ceremony & Gong Sound Journey with a limited number of participants in Nelson. This will be preparing ourselves for the Galactic Center alignment from October 7-9th where we can expand our galactic connections.
Each cosmic activation evening is a unique series of guided energetics, constructed to harness the energies of the moment to orchestrate a recalibration, shift and lift on all levels of your being.
I channel through new information to work with every time I do one of these events, specifically for the group.

Sage cleanse on arrival
Intro to the current energies
Sacred ceremony ritual with burning oils and resin
Guided channeled message energy transmission
Multidimensional energy activation
Ceremonial cacao
Sound healing journey with a 40’ Atlantis Gong
Come with your personal intentions and a crystal to charge in the ceremony if you like

This is a layered energy evening where we come together in a small group limited to approx 20 total and cocreate in the cosmic energies what wants to come in from a multidimensional perspective. Often it’s about a level of consciousness outside of the perception of our human mind <3
These events are a unique frequency you will feel drawn to if they are for you!
***Please note – you need to bring a cushion, yoga mat and blanket to keep you cozy during the gong journey.***

Featuring award winning artists Basant Madhur (tablas), Tristan Carter (violin) and Jon Sanders (mandola), the trio have worked in various music projects over many years including most recently the Shades of Shakti concerts and Arts on Tour’s India meets Ireland shows.

“There is real joy in dipping into the well of musical tradition and then blending it with contemporary composition. It is at the very heart of music fusion”, explains Jon.
The three musicians have long been involved in music and film soundtrack composition, performance and community work in both halves of the world, but this represents a new combination of instruments for them. The three will weave together ragas and reels, Indian and Irish vocal cameos and self-penned anthems bringing a unique and mesmerising experience.

From the company behind acclaimed productions like Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Cocktales, The Barden Party’s Macbeth is set to sweep you off your feet this Christmas.
