• An 8 week course that meets Fridays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 5 August 2022 (NZ Time).
• In-Person classes in Hamilton, New Zealand or live-streamed via Zoom anywhere!
• Time Zone equivalents for other locations can be found on our website.

This series of eight talks, from our Selected Topics in History series, explores, historically, the subject of death from the perspective of several different disciplines: religion (both traditional and contemporary), philosophy, art, literature, music and film.

DESCRIPTION:
Sex used to be the great taboo. Up until the modern era, open talk related to the subject of sexuality was actively frowned upon. The subject of death, however was freely canvased. This situation has now been reversed. Death has become for modern men and women the new taboo, spoken of in hushed terms, if at all, kept concealed behind closed doors and largely unacknowledged.

However, recently this trend has been challenged. More and more people are wanting to speak openly about the subject of death. Indeed so pressing has become the need, that within the last few years a new ‘strange’ global phenomena has occurred that has seen the emergence of what are called “Death Cafes.”

These “cafes” are simply pop-up meeting places where small groups of people gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss the topic of death. Death has at last come out of the closet.

Info on this course, and all of our other courses (art, environment. health & wellbeing, history, humanities, languages, world cinema, world literature, philosophy, and religious diversity) can be found on our web site at earthdiverse.org.nz...

Elderberries are such a good anti-viral and thus a fantastic support for the immune system. Recipe is as follows:
Elderberry syrup
• 1½ cup fresh berries
• 1 tsp cinnamon / one whole stick
• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 1 tsp cloves
• Dash of black pepper
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1 Tbsp. white sage
• 1 cup honey
Simmer berries, spices, and apple juice for 20-30 minutes, then strain and add honey. Adjust spices to taste (we're thinking to try and double the amount next time!)
Elderberry gummies
• 1½ cup elderberry syrup
• 4 Tbsp. gelatine
Mix the syrup and gelatine well until gelatine is dissolved, then beat together. Fill ice cube trays and store in the fridge. You can eat one a day.

OUR GO DRY JULY PROGRAM (2022) IS ALMOST DONE
The GO DRY JULY program is supported by people who accept the challenge of going without alcohol for the month of July, hence the name GO DRY JULY.
In recognition of their abstinence the participants solicit donations from family, friends, colleagues, business houses, and organisations in return for their commitment (and donations) to the fundraising program.

We are so close to the finish line for our GO DRY JULY, but there is still time to encourage more financial support.

Thanks to all of the very kind people that have supported us with their donations. If you are one of those people, you have our gratitude and respect.

Currently, we have raised $1200, but with further support we would like to reach the sum of $1800. The money is so vital for the work we undertake getting the message out to all the men of New Zealand on the subject of prostate cancer.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation relies on these funds along with sponsorship, business donations, bequests from estates, and any other funding opportunity we can sight.

Any donation amount is appreciated and will help make a difference to the lives of people affected by prostate cancer in practical and tangible ways.

All donations will be recognised and those over $5.00 will receive a receipt for tax purposes, just click one the links below, you choose.

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new Literature course entitled “Spies and Villains, Heroes and Heroines: Russian Characters in Spy Thrillers from 1880-2000" with Jillene Bydder.

This course is a survey of spy thriller fiction published between 1880 and 2000. It sets the books in their historical context and shows how their depiction of Russian/Soviet characters as heroes or as villains reflects the politics of the time in which the books were published. Spy thrillers also document our own social history and reveal many important and/or quirky issues for us to think about. For instance, why were so few thrillers with Russian settings or characters published during the world wars when Russia/the Soviet Union was our ally?

This course is offered in-person at the EarthDiverse Centre in Hamilton, New Zealand on Wednesdays from 11:00am-1:00pm (NZ time) beginning 3 August, or on-line (live-streamed) via Zoom from anywhere in the world. Some representative time zone equivalents are:

• Honolulu, Hawai’i: 1:00-3:00pm, Tue 2 Aug
• US Pacific: 4:00-6:00pm, Tue 2 Aug
• US Eastern: 7:00-9:00pm, Wed 3 Aug
• London, UK: 12:00-2:00am, Wed 3 Aug
• Bangkok, Thailand: 6:00-8:00am, Wed 3 Aug
• Singapore: 7:00-9:00am, Wed 3 Aug
• Sydney, Australia: 9:00-11:00am, Wed 3 Aug

This course is offered weekly for 8 consecutive weeks.
