SATORI Retreat Saturday 13th to Saturday 20th January Fully Residential Eight Day Retreat WHAT IS SATORI? The Ultimate Radical Zen Retreat An intense process, which promises to challenge your concepts of your moods, dramas, problems and most importantly your IDENTITY. It will expand your experience of what joy, peace and meditation are all about. You will experience what ‘being present in the moment’ really means and how it can be a valuable resource in daily life. This is a perfect opportunity to cul- tivate presence and to become familiar with the art of letting yourself go into ‘holes’ and slip into your ESSENCE, your true BEING. The process is highly structured with a deÀ nite focus on you getting to know you. It will reveal how you abandon yourself with each person you are with – how your authentic self is compro- mised as you adapt to get love, approval, recognition, your own way – to be desired, wanted, needed, liked etc. There is no other process that illuminates so vividly the ‘games’ we continu- ally play that keep us perpetually locked in Ego Pain and Suffering. Meditation Retreat means you are taking space to explore and come to know your Being. If you want to À nd inner peace and are interested in developing your spiritual awareness of yourself and the world you live in, then these eight days in Satori Retreat offer you a radical meditation technique and process that will take you on an amazing journey of self discovery. You may come to know for the À rst time in your life & with absolute certainty who you are & why you are here.

Vol 21 #29 January 2, 2007

The new epidemic The birth of the Baby Boomers has more consequences than the rise and rise of the teenager, rock music, and conspicuous consumption. Now the buggers are getting old and will be putting increasing demand on health services. Byron Shire is particularly in the fi ring line with an already large aged population. Among the more insidious problems which come with age is dementia. Australia only has between fi ve and ten years to put systems in place to deal with dementia in rural and regional Australia or it will be swamped by an epidemic of unprecedented proportions, claims dementia expert Dr Mark Yates. Dementia is an illness causing memory loss and progressive decline in thinking and memory, which mostly occurs as people get older. It is one of the most disabling of all chronic diseases, and its incidence and impact is increasing rapidly as the population ages. About 200,000 Australians aged 65 years and over have dementia but that number is expected to triple in the next few decades as more Australians live longer. Australia is already in the grip of a dementia epidemic and within Look out, it’s a serious debate! the next few decades a quarter of the entire Australian population will be 60 years and over and at risk. tart the new year the have spoken, and we’d really debate, not one based on cynics rechristened it) is con- According to Dr Yates, a geriatrician and Clinical way you plan to con- be very foolish to ignore objective scientific assess- cerned.

John Campbell‘s

movie rollicking chase through Central Park in the snow and all ends well. Silly but diverting, it made me (and the thirteen-year old reviews 7 whom I took) want to visit that museum. John Campbell THE PRESTIGE HAPPY FEET The Prestige directed by Christopher Nolan is mesmerizing. Cuteness is the environment’s last defence against the ruin A sleight-of-hand thriller set in Britain’s Victorian era where of global shakedown. George Miller uses it unstintingly in the magic was mysterious and performing it precarious, the fi lm is "ELOWTHECINEMAS a dark and aggressive emotional roller coaster that challenges story of Mumble, a penguin different from the mob. He alone *ONSON3TREET "YRON"AY dances rather than sings. His inability to fi t in ultimately has the imagination. Nolan fl ash jumps between time periods, but him come face to face with the apocalypse that threatens all of the story never falters. Angier (Jackman) and Borden (Bale) are PHONE nature – us. The animatronics are truly incredible, the chore- two young magicians who perform their acts as partners; the ography snappy if repetitive, voices fi nely pitched (the true former is a showman trickster, while Borden is more of an illu- blue Australian elephant seals are marvellous) and the themes sionist lacking fl air. During a particular act, Angier’s wife (Piper 7EAREOPENEVERYDAYOVER provocative and genuinely moving, particularly when Mumble Perabo) drowns and the blame is put on Borden. This leads to THEHOLIDAYSFORALLYOURMOVIE fi nds himself in a soul destroying zoo. There are a number a violent, life-long rivalry, especially after Borden marries and of subliminal messages being promoted, the most acutely has a child, thrusting Angier into an irrational jealousy. The men GAMEANDEQUIPMENTNEEDS contradictory being about celebrating differentness. It’s a good perform tricks that are more and more elaborate, often in thea- idea, but mass media has annihilated individuality and you tres across the street from each other. And as they attempt to 3URF SUN SANDANDAGREAT only need look at the box offi ce takings for this or the passing uncover and outmanoeuvre each other’s secrets, the procee- parade of Jonson Street to grasp the tunnel vision of popular dings turn more and more dangerous. The murky atmospherics MOVIE culture. Visually seductive, but with a real lot of music that add to the sinister mood, which thrusts the audience into a might not appeal strongly to an older crowd, being stuck mostly continuous state of suspense, making us wonder more than in the groove of hip hop/Idol, (my heart soared only during the once how they did it. aquatic routine featuring the Beach Boys’ ‘Do It Again’), but the teenager with me thought it cool. As a member of the target audience, it might be best to allow her the last word: ‘I liked it, but it was heaps long.’ John Campbell NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM Ben Stiller plays a divorcee who is on his uppers. In order to maintain a relationship with his ten year-old son, he accepts a job as night-watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History. It’s a grand old institution that has held fi rm against drab modernity’s discrediting of the idea that curiosity and imagination can be stirred by tableaux and stuffed fi gures. Sluggish at fi rst, the movie dawdles in getting to the crux of the story after the anticipated but overextended coming to life of the exhibits who are prevented by a Dorian Gray type embargo from being struck by daylight – if they are they will turn to dust.
