The Design for the book series is well under way and Mini-Book I is in progress with formatting, proof reading and last additions. It is soon to be edited before the final layout and design is completed. A colour coding system has been designed to easily show readers all the activities. They will certainly stand out from the general text, having a distinct heading and delightful background colouring and design. The various Processes described in the book will have their own unique heading and design, as will the quotes and the visualisations which are sprinkled throughout. This image is an example of the Activity Coding, though it hasn’t had words typed over the background.

In it’s fourth draft and being ‘The Foundations’,  it’s taken awhile to get it right.  Beautiful Artwork by Brenna Quinlan and Meg Clark’s Design and Formatting Work will add Colour and Flare to Robin’s New Book Brenna was commissioned to create seven ‘Art Maps’ to grace the beginning of seven of the main chapters. They are ‘Mind Maps’ but with the words transformed into art. The delightful and soft pastel colours that Brenna is famous for has given designer and formatter Meg an additional theme to incorporate into the creative touches and elements of the book. The image shown is for the ‘Ethics, Principles, Values and Needs’ chapter and shows all the topic headings covered in the chapter. To find out more or …

It’s been a bit of a secret but now that it’s only 10 days away it’s probably OK to share that Charlie McGee is making his way over in his house truck from his home in WA to be part of Robin’s annual ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ 6 day Creative Facilitation and Teacher Training. Already a dynamic performer, teacher and professional public figure, Charlie’s involvement in the course will be a great addition to the group of wonderful people coming together for the course. Robin didn’t want to promote the course based on Charlie’s involvement as she wanted it to ‘sell it’self’ and attract the people who were really keen to be there anyway. The big bonus is that Robin will be organising a super big gig for Charlie and his full band the night after the course finishes at Crystal Waters. Mal Webb and Kylie Morrigan from Melbourne will …
