Who We Are
South Alive is an urban rejuvenation project, led by the community, with the goal of identifying the best possible future for South Invercargill and ways to make it happen.
It was established in 2012 with a small steering group, which then held a public meeting in April 2012 to generate ideas and decide priorities. Action teams of volunteers formed around each of the priority areas, and have been working since then to develop and implement projects.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.It is Mental Health Awareness Week, and we are celebrating by sharing a new way each day to look after your mental wellbeing here at South Alive Invercargill and The Pantry Invercargill
rima_healing on Instagram saved my life. I had depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma, RA Diagnosis, flare-up, Fibromyalgia, pain, memory loss, agoraphobia fatigue, C-PTSD, panic attack bipolar disorder, mental health illness, OCD, insomnia, brain-fog, BDP, Trauma, stress 😬 addiction, anxiety, and cluster headache for 12 years been struggling and dying in pain. Until I started microdosing. Their products work magically and effective, They ship discreetly too🥰❤️🍄
It's Rāhoroi (Saturday) which means it's FREE Yoga at South Alive from 12pm - 1pm ☀️
Yoga mats provided, and you don't have to have any experience. Marianne & Matt do a wonderful job at guiding these classes. Come on down!
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori | Māori Language Week ✨️ This is a time for us to celebrate, empower and uplift te Reo Māori. So each day, we will be learning and sharing kupu (words) with you all
Protecting our planet from para (rubbish) and unnecessary waste is so important.
So today's Kupu o te Rā (word of the day) is three words that you can use in your conversations around being a tidy kiwi 🥝
Whakawhāiti ~ Reduce
Tukurua ~ Reuse
Hangarua ~ Recycle
