Taruna was established in 1982 among tranquil gardens on the slopes of Te Mata Peak, Hawke’s Bay. The region boasts a vibrant culture of music, drama and visual arts, a mediterranean climate, and some of the best wine and food in New Zealand. Taruna is a place of inspiration, rich experiences and a range of learning opportunities.
Transform Yourself, Transform the World.
Provoking individual, community, and global freedom.
Taruna is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, who developed a path of spiritual development that he called the Wisdom of the Human Being or Anthroposophy. This path of knowledge sets out to guide the individual to a conscious understanding and experience of the spiritual foundations of life.
It involves a discovery of self, the world and what it means to be human. From this there has developed a holistic and creative approach to education, health, art and agriculture.
