Hui #3 Keynote Korero - Pause Breath Smile

Seen by 31
Have noticed a lot of energy around the idea of mindfulness/mental health education in schools lately, and think that our community would really love to have Grant/Tash Rix who have been stewarding the Pause Breathe Smile project come and speak to us. This thread is to discuss this possibility, and also an opporunity to suggest other keynotes - although we probably only need one keynote speaker per hui (a la Robin Youngson at Hui #1).

We confirm Grant or Tash Rix as the people to deliver the Keynote Korero for Hui #3 Closed Tue 21 Mar 2017 4:01AM
We have confirmed Grant and Tash to deliver the keynote korero! Have asked them what their needs are - will post in the comments of this thread :).
I have raised this idea on the #huiplanning Slack channel and there was enthusiasm for it, but want to use this Loomio as a chance to discuss this idea further, raise any potential considerations or objections or ideas to make it better.
Agree = Yeah definitely!
Abstain = Happy to go with the group.
Disagree = I would like something changed about the proposal.
Block = I think this would be harmful to our community and I veto it.

Hi Nick and others, I think Grant and/or Tash Rix will be great for the keynote korero. It seems to me that one speaker is sufficient. What they have to say may then have more impact as well. :smiley:

I keep hearing people talking about mindfulness in schools lately, so Grant and/or Trish would be perfect! Nice one :)

I'd love to hear Grant or Tash talk and mindful education is definitely a hot topic! I suggest we ask them to talk as much as possible from the heart as Robin did that at hui 1 and it was such a heart opening experience

Am also keen to have this be of top value to Grant and Tash as well - so if anyone has contacts/suggestions for how we could help them with what they're doing that you could offer either before, during, or after the hui, then this thread would be a good place to discuss them. Next time I talk to Grant I'll ask them what kind of needs Pause Breathe Smile has or is likely to have in the foreseeable future, so we can find ways to meet these.

We should totally support them in whatever ways we can. Keen to hear about their needs.

Context: I emailed Grant a week ago about the idea and then talked with him on the phone (Friday 17th March). He's discussed it with his wife Tash, they're keen on the idea but need to sort out things like childcare considerations. It seems likely that one or both will come and present - either would be very capable of presenting on PBS and their journey with it.
