EARTHDIVERSE TERM 1 COURSES BEGIN WEEK OF 15 FEBRUARY

Todd Nachowitz from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its 2021 Term 1 Courses!

We offer the following Introductory language programmes in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Swahili and Urdu, with classes at Introductory and Intermediate levels.

We also teach courses on Religious Diversity: this Term we're offering "Understanding Judaism" in our World Religions series, and we've a course devoted to "Contemporary Beliefs and Practices" that looks at a different topic each session and discusses how the various faith traditions view that topic. Examining religious practice in this way allows us to see the similarities between the various faith traditions rather than the traditional approach which dwells on differences.

We're also offering this Term a new Philosophical Cafe of sorts—a discussion group focused around Life's "Big Questions": What is the meaning of life? Is our universe real? What does it mean to be human? How to live the good life? Is there Truth, and if so, what is it? Does God exist? Explore these questions and others with us in our lounge classroom and be a part of the discussion!

Our other newest course this Term is in our Art & Architecture series, entitled "The Spiritual in Modern Art." This series of eight talks examines how the dimension of the spiritual exhibits itself in the secular art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

OUR TERM 1 COURSES ALL BEGIN THE WEEK OF MON 15 FEB.

‘Huge potential’ for Te Rapa Racecourse site if sale goes ahead

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

If the races gallop off to Tamahere, “exciting things” could happen with the sizeable city site they leave behind, property experts say.

On Tuesday, the Waikato Times revealed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) plans to buy 150ha of farmland south of Hamilton to house the region’s three racing clubs at a new purpose-built racecourse and event centre.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
