Overview of Programme

This Level 4 programme offers a lively and exciting extension of professional development to the following fields of work:

• Health, therapy, healing or medicine;
• Art or artistic career;
• Education – early childhood, schooling or adult learning.

Participants in the programme will:

• Explore and understand the biographical process of the human being;
• Explore the qualities inherent in colour and form;
• Explore techniques in painting, drawing and sculpture;
• Develop and practise observation skills;
• Find the relationships of the soul world to spirit and nature through art;
• Receive living pictures of Anthroposophical ideas;
• Discover individual learning through reflection.

This creative process will help participants bring new consciousness, ideas and skills into their work. Previous knowledge or ability in Art is not a pre-requisite.

The programme takes place at Taruna’s Homestead Campus in a peaceful setting of gardens and trees on the rural edge of the lower slopes of Te Mata Peak, in Havelock North.
