Paul and Robin

Paul says he is grateful to join such a well-structured course and looks forward to meeting and working with the wider Taruna community.  Paul will be taking over from Dr. Robin Bacchus.

 Another exciting piece of news is the introduction of Friday night talks here at Taruna.   We invite anyone who has an interest in considering the big questions of life from a perspective that acknowledges a spiritual reality to join us. Alternating between talks of a more esoteric nature and talks for those who know nothing or little of anthroposophy.  There should be something for everyone!
