Hey Kath, I'm receiving emails saying my payment has declined and I need to update my card. My card is fine and my bank account shows that money is still being withdrawn for Skool. Any idea what's going wrong?

Hey everyone, one of my children is about to start an evening guitar lesson in Yass from 7 to 730. (Starting from tonight). It's a half hour drive home so I won't be reliable to make an 8 pm cuppa. We can change it to 8:15 pm or we could make it earlier from 7 to 730, which will give me something to do while I wait for the lesson to finish, And then people can keep chatting while I drive home. Is there any preference in the group? I don't mind. @Robyn Diamond @Jaki F @Jules Baker @Nicola Vavasour Since you are the most common participants, do any of you have a preference? **UPDATE - I've decided to make it 7pm, as some people find 8 a bit late. I will send this in my weekly email today. So hopefully this is all good!

I'm a little late with Monday's update, but it's the first morning that I have been able to take a breath...phew! I have been drumming in the Botanic Gardens for Mental Health Week, drumming at the MindBodySpirit Festival in Sydney, and drumming back in Canberra for a beautiful session for Women With A Disability ACT, which was a gorgeous afternoon under the trees in Lyneham! *IN-PERSON EVENT UPCOMING* Weekend gathering near Yass - this is now a one-day event on Sunday 30 November, no campout due to my child's school inconveniently deciding to have the Year 10 Formal on the 29th 😆 The day will run from 10am to 3pm at Sue's block near Yass (details will be sent to those who RSVP). A day of sharing food and skills and knowledge. If you would like to attend have a think about what knowledge, skills or teachings you might share (totally optional! You can come and just soak it up) RSVP in the comments on this post or text me 0472 699 920. *THE PAST WEEK ON MOOD BOOST* We followed the sensations in the body during a relaxing Sunday Sanctuary here: Body awareness - Weekly mindfulness session · Mood Boost And solved the world's education issues over a virtual cuppa on Monday morning. *COMING UP THIS WEEK* Wednesday evening cuppa, today at 7pm (NEW TIME): https://www.skool.com/live/x3Kl4zN8cgX New guided meditation will be recorded this week... Fun Friday mindfulness session, 8am: https://www.skool.com/live/YNwzbwb4fCm *A NOTE ON EMAILS AND THE APP* Having looked at what @Kahli Weir was receiving, we figured out that if you don't have the Skool app, then you might be getting a lot of annoying emails. Install the app to receive notifications instead, if the emails bug you. They are sent automatically by the system. You can also unsubscribe from the notifications, or decide how many you want to receive, by clicking on the button at the bottom of every email from Skool.

What are you up to this weekend? Tomorrow I am heading up to Sydney to the Mind Body Spirit Festival, where I'm running an interactive drumming and percussion session on the main stage - it will be an interesting experience! Last month I did a similar thing at a HR conference, at the same venue (the ICC in the city). I was scheduled at the same time as the afternoon mixer, so I had a bit of competition from the free bar. But around 20 people came over to the stage and had lots of fun drumming for 20 minutes. It's a long drive to Sydney and back for a 20 minute session 😆. This time we are staying overnight with a friend in Surry Hills, as I am going to be on the stage both Friday and Saturday late afternoons. Apparently the festival gets around 100,000 visitors over 4 days. I'm anticipating a quite different crowd to the HR staff! I'll be back in time to run our Sunday Sanctuary session at 3pm - we are going to do a breathing body awareness meditation. (I thin I'll need it!) You can find it in the Calendar or via https://www.skool.com/live/yDy8zMR2BFJ Let us know in the comments how you plan to boost your mood this weekend!

Listening to a drum beat is a great way to meditate, as the regular beats slow your brain waves into a meditative state without you having to do anything! Enjoy - let me know how you find it. #4 Drum meditation - Guided meditations · Mood Boost
