We used to believe the brain, that pink capped bit you see bobbing above the water out at The Point, was the seat of consciousness…
It now appears more true that what’s going on below the water counts for more… That consciousness originates in the body, and the brain is a merely a servant, responsible for adding a garnish of richness.
Our experience of self and the world emerges from body-brain interactions occurring in the brain stem, at the level of the water’s surface. Here our hopes, our fears, our losses and joys are expressed as ripples in space and time.
Next time you’re waiting at The Point, take a look at all the pink caps, consider how much more is going on below the surface and watch as the ripples expand out from each individual to intermingle in our shared ocean of reality.

Monthly Dinner – 9th October – With our own Radio Show Hostess..
The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 9th October at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant, and will feature a very different format than normal. Our guest on the night will be one of our swimmers, Karen Sander, who is the creator of the radio program Ageing Fearlessly. Karen will host a Parkinson style show where she will interview three guests. The identity of the guests is being kept under wraps and will only be revealed at the dinner. The one thing that she will let you know is the guests fall into the following categories:
- A household name
- A mystery guest
- A Bold and Beautiful Immortal
Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential: To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE.
