LAST CALL for EarthDiverse's newest course beginning tomorrow (Wed 11:00am)!
EarthDiverse is pleased to present Peter Dornauf's newest course entitled "Loss" available as both an in-person class in Hamilton, New Zealand and on-line via Zoom from anywhere in the world with a good internet connection!
LOSS:
• Schopenhauer once said that life was a series of losses. Like all philosophical claims, it is three quarters true. A good deal of western literature, starting with the story of Adam and Eve losing their Eden home, is replete with narratives that deal with the subject. Today there is talk of losing our own garden home – the planet. This series of 3 consecutive weekly talks will traverse the theme of loss—that “dark underpinning of our lives”—looking at everything from the loss of hopes and dreams, to the loss of love, innocence and life itself.
• Lecture 1. Loss of innocence, (coming of age): Wed 28 Aug 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 2: Loss of life, (death).: Wednesday 4 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 3: Loss of Possessions, (theft): Wednesday 11 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
