BEING A FRIEND TO YOURSELF
A Self-Kindness Workshop for Dealing with Negative Self-Talk

“You can search the entire universe and not find a single being more worthy of love and compassion than yourself.” - Inspired by the Buddha, Udana 5.1
“Our healing begins when we offer loving-kindness to the parts of ourselves, we have abandoned.” - Adapted from teachings by Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach and Kristin Neff
“One who loves themselves will never harm another.” - Attributed to the Buddha in the Attention Revolution, B. Alan Wallace

While this workshop is designed with a focus on supporting those of us who experience negative or critical self-talk, it recognises that not everyone may relate to that language or be in that space right now. Even so, you may still find something here that speaks to you – whether it is a new perspective, a gentle reminder, or simply the comfort of being a reflective and supportive space with others.

Wherever you are on your journey you are welcome.
Facilitato: Rhonda Shuker
When: Friday 24 October 2025
Time: 6pm to 8pm
Where: Queen Street Community Hall Yeppoon
29 Queen Street Yeppoon
Cost: Free
To register and an opportunity to connect with the facilitator ahead of time call Rhonda on 0429 940 472.

If you’re heading to Sunset Sessions at Great Keppel Island with your vessel this weekend, please be mindful a No Anchorage Zone on Fisherman Beach will be in place from:

📅 12pm – 12am, Saturday 24 May
📅12pm – 12am, Saturday 31 May

This helps keep the waterway safe, ensures ferries can operate smoothly, and reduces risks on the night.

Before you set off, remember:
🍻 Don’t drink or take drugs and drive – this is just as dangerous in a boat as in a car.
🚤 Keep to safe and legal speeds.
👭 Always wear a life jacket.
🌊 Keep a proper lookout for hazards.
☀ Plan your boat trip.

Bit by bit. We’ll make our community third space available to everyone.

A new Disabled Car Park on James St. outside The Station! It is the first rear-vehicle loading bay in Livingstone! Thank you Livingstone Shire Council for listening to CAEG’s advocacy for improved accessibility in our Shire.

Share with all your friends. Council is so concerned about human rights, so we'd better get all the info we can about the human rights issues right here in our own backyard.

May 13th, 10am. Get on down for a snag!

Pulled out because of reputational damage to the area. Not to the installer.
National publicity, 'no charging stations', means the company's charger won't get used enough to make the high electricity price worth installing.
The Shire would need to promise a large national PR campaign for other companies to come to the table.

Community backlash has driven a Queensland council to install electric vehicle chargers, after its mayor put plans on hold because of human rights concerns aired in a TV show.

Tens of thousands of dollars spent on promoting everywhere else. It’s time Livingstone Shire Council stops funding this organisation!
Our tourism businesses pay thousands in rates and fees yet aren’t promoted because they don’t have a Cap Enterprise membership.
Businesses outside our electorate pay a pitance membership and receive main stage promo.
Time to wrap it up and start fresh. LSC money should be funding and supporting all of our local tourism operators.
