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.

Poll: Do you think this is probably the reason?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Work changes, divorces and other life events are probably behind many of Waikato’s loss-making house sales, a realtor says.

Recent figures revealed more than 10% properties resold in Hamilton and Waikato District went for less than what the sellers had paid.

Do you think this is probably the reason? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
