Titirangi Steiner School Cultivators

What culture are you cultivating?

Let's begin right where we are: on this land, with the community we are, for the benefit of the children, within this school, and reaching out to extended relational communities with a forward view to the future.

Up to now, there have been a small handful of volunteers, parents, and teachers who have spearheaded gardening, festivals, and building projects at the Titirangi Steiner School. The school was founded and built quite a long time ago (How long?) and during that time the foundational structures are beginning to fail. Rather than taking a short view, a proposal has been put forward to use the resources we already have in building heat-efficient natural buildings. How might there be a  reframe in the conversation toward, engagement and opportunities that the Covit-19 break has afforded us? What do we value? How do we want to support and energize ways of being that generate not only enthusiasm (which there is plenty of) with the curriculum and at the same time opening up possibilities of income streams with ongoing educational outreach within the resources available at the school and community at large? Who has what skills and is excited to share beyond a "working bee" scenario? Opportunity versus obligation. How might you want to contribute with care and in the true spirit of giving for its own sake versus giving to get? What do we get out of it? A whole new way of being. How exciting is that!
