The Patreon Support Group, set up by Robin and Erin to assist in the art and design, editing and logistics for Robin’s next books is proving to be an exciting and beneficial adventure.
As well as benefiting Robin’s work it also provides many benefits for Patrons.

Monthly Sessions on Zoom
There have been some great monthly Zoom sessions with either a ‘Q&A’ topic to explore every second month for all Patrons plus a facilitated ‘Brainstorm and Sharing’ session every other month for $10 and above Patrons. The Q&A’s are a forum for people to ask questions about the selected topic which everyone can contribute to. They are run like a face to face circle and begin with a brief ‘Check In’. The Brainstorm Sessions encourage people to throw in their ideas about how to turn a nominated problem into a solution or solve the problem in some way.
Most previous sessions have been recorded with an audio link available through the Patreon Feed and Erin has keep great notes and published them on Patreon for those who’ve missed the Zoom sessions.
Past Q&A and Brainstorm Sessions have included topics like ‘Group Agreements’, ‘Working with Large Groups’, ‘Group Facilitation Processes for Earth Connection and Self Centring without it being too WooWoo’.
The Brainstorm session on ‘Timing and Lateness’ will be rescheduled for later in the year.

Consultancies are Great Support
The three $100 Consultancy places were taken up very quickly and are proving to be very productive, helpful and interesting sessions for both the Patron and Robin. The $50 Consultancies are also working well for the people involved. Some of the areas covered are – Permaculture Design Course Programming and Session Planning, Course Design and Facilitation, Handout Note Evaluation and Creative Suggestions, New Business Start Ups, New Book Planning, a Life Plan… Robin has found her ‘Vision Tree Planning and Design Process’ useful at times in guiding people’s journey and needs for their project, course or interest. It’s all very exciting and valuable. There are still $50 places available that offer a consultancy every 3 months.
Thanks again to all of you who support Robin via Patreon and in every other way.
