Robin’s long awaited first book in the ‘Dynamic Teaching and Facilitation’ series has now gone to four proofreaders and three general readers for their review and feedback. 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.

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 be travelling up to join Charlie and the night promises to be a huge and joyous experience for celebrating Life, Permaculture Living, Earth Care, People Care and all that’s good in our world. There will be a few surprises for sure and definitely lots of dancing.
Come join in on Saturday 21st March at Crystal Waters Eco Village from 6pm for dinner, pizza, chai etc and music from 7pm. There will be a bar as a fundraiser for Crystal Waters Community Co-op. Bookings are here.
The Facebook event with more info, cost etc and to see more current additions and info is here.
Hello Wonderful Community and Heart Centred Practitioners.
Many of you know the core work Robin offers in the world. As well as Permaculture, her key focus and offering is the ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ courses, workshops, writings and educational resources.
She feels very strongly that to support our world, our communities and positive change in education, the environment, social and political challenges etc we need people who are well skilled and trained in facilitation and group work.
Groups form the basis of much positive action and community building. Education creates the backbone of new foundations and for learning a positive, peaceful and powerful way forward for our children, youth and also adults needing more tools, ideas and purpose.
If our groups are well facilitated and work easily together, they are more effective at meeting their purpose and everything works out better for everyone, including all the people who benefit from the group and also, our world, if the group has a People Care and/or Earth Care focus.
Many of us have great skills and wisdom to share.
The ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ 6 day training equips people with the skills, confidence, tools and processes to support all kinds of groups and educational situations in a creative, interactive and empowering way.
The annual Crystal Waters course is from 15th to 20th March and you’re invited to consider attending if you are involved or would like to be more involved in education, training, group work and facilitation.
If any of your family, friends or colleagues might be interested, you passing this info on would be much appreciated. Here’s the poster and thank you so much for your support.
