EARTHCARE EDUCATION
A community focused business
Sowing seeds for personal and global transformation
Since the late eighties Earthcare Education have been developing and creating Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning, a methodology for education and group work which weaves together
- Empowered and Holistic Learning
- Creative, Fun, Interactive Learning Methods
- Multi-Sensory Learning
- Motivational and Needs Based Learning
- Caring for People, Earth, Spirit and Sharing Deeply and Generously (The 4 Ethics of Permaculture)
Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning is a facilitation practice and course for teachers, facilitators, trainers, activists, community workers, healers and group leaders. Courses and workshops vary from an introductory day to a 6 day residential with a 4 day ‘bones’ version for special interest groups and a 3 hour conference appetizer or personal Consultations.
Courses have been conducted with hundreds of people in over 10 countries and all Australian States with virtually every participant walking out ‘with a smile on their face’. The Manual For Teaching Permaculture Creatively, written by Robin Clayfield and Skye in 1994, is used and enjoyed in more than 40 diverse countries.

To see a Utube clip of a Pecha Kucha presentation by Robin for ‘Green Love’ put on by Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance in August 2011 and entitled “The 20 things I love most about my life that are Green and Creative” click this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7CYYAl3lpE Pecha Kucha is a presentation process which give 20 seconds for each of 20 slides so that each presenter only gets 6 minutes and 40 seconds to present. This was filmed by Luis Gonzales Medina from Chile while he was WWOOFing (Willing Workers On Organic Farms) with Robin
