This week, our update is short and sweet.
All of our attention is focused on catching up with our business community at NOPA2015 in Wan Chai over the next 3 days.
Judging by the inbox, we have officially arrived in the last week of summer. News, updates and events from the heartbeat network have begun arriving in a steady stream as everyone returns to the office refreshed after some essential rest and relaxation.
Clean Air Network has launched a save the trams petition after consultants suggested closing part of the route and it might be time to take another look at this pedestrian zone proposal from last year.
Events this week cover everything from personal development to global sustainability. Live Your Full Potential at Balance Health, Brainstorm Your Business and Career, Tap into Gratitude, Explore the Origins of Stars with The Royal Geographical Society HK, review China’s Environmental Plans and the World, attend a One Day Retreat hosted by HK Insight Meditation Society, meet innovators at the Hong Kong Urban Thinkers Campus, Balance your Chakras at Red Doors, take a Peng Chau Ecotour or look at the power of Women’s Education and Empowerment at Asia Society. Sandra Gonalez returns to Hong Kong with Unanswered Questions Answered at The Sanctuary Hong Kong.
I predict a full September with plenty of opportunities to pick up where we left off before the holidays. You can keep up with the stream of information in our Facebook group or on your favorite social media channel.
