Courses that can change the course of your life.
September 2010


Spring Taruna Greetings!

Not much fun for the sneezers...but I just have to comment on the bright beautiful Yellow's that encircle Taruna's beautiful gardens these days..and against an unsure grey winters day, the sight is truly amazing!

I hope you have all managed to keep your good health with the change of season.  A sell out Natural Home Nursing short course here in August saw more parents and caregivers learning how to take on a more active role in supporting their families health naturally..it was great to see!

With the inspiration of spring, growth and transformation, we offer an article and focus on our young adults and teenagers.  Some of us may be raising them or teaching them!  You will also find a tutor and student profiles from those teaching in our upper schools in this e-newsletter....a view from the coal face so to speak!

A couple of interesting short courses coming up are the Rudolf Steiner Home Schooling Seminar  and also Transformative Speech.  One of the points in our e-newsletters article 'What we should be Teaching, but are probably not' makes comment on the gift we can give our youth to 'communicate well'!

If you have any further questions about any of our short courses or formal programmes, please feel free to contact the Taruna office on info@taruna.ac.nz

Enjoy!, Korina

What we should be Teaching,
but are probably not!

When the philosopher, Aristippus of Cyrene, was asked some 400 years BC, what boys should be taught, he replied:  "Those things which they will use when men".
Imbued with ancient wisdom, this response threatens to make a mockery of much which is taught in schools today.

Tragically, rather too many schools have lost sight of those things which will be used by our boys when they become men.  We have lost our focus on education in favour of a concentration on the esoteric, the political and the convenient...>>read more
