Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning Dynamic Courses, Books, Resources and Tours for Healthy Groups, People and Culture with Robin Clayfield
Have a look at this great document that Rumi put together after attending and supporting me with my ‘Permaculture 
Meets Creative Design’ Weekend back in August. Rumi (Rut Noemi Nicolau Ordinas) is from Spain and has been WHISPing (my version of WWOOFing – Willing Helpers in Special Places) with me since May. This is her recount of the workshop and it has great photos and active sequences of Sheet Mulch Gardening, Hot Composting, Small Garden Design with instructions so people can re-create these for themselves and a few other interesting bits of information.

ELFy Puppet to Illustrate Robin Clayfield’s ‘Dynamic Teaching and Facilitation’ Books
At this very moment, far away in South Australia, inspirational and highly skilled puppet maker, Rebecca Dostel is carving and creating a 30cm ELFy Puppet. If you haven’t met ELFy before, ELFy is a Jigsaw Puzzle, where each of the pieces represents an essential aspect which, when all the bits are combined, creates a successful, fun and dynamic group. ELFy stands for ‘Educator, Facilitator, Leader’ and is a colourful, elven like magician that embodies the ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ Methodology. There’s been two versions of ELFy previously, one created originally as a flat plan magician by Monica Marion from Spain. The second version is a wonderful illustration by Rob Clark which is on the back of both Robin’s more recent educational card games – ‘The NEW Permaculture Principles Card Game’ and ‘The Creative Process Wild Cards’. Now for this three dimensional puppet that will stand without strings and be able to be photographed in many different scenes and postures as the graphics for Robin’s upcoming book ‘Dynamic Teaching and Facilitation – The Foundations of Group Work’. Rebecca is carving ELFy out of Rosewood, first with a bandsaw then fine tuning it with chisels and sanding etc. She’s also wonderfully creative with fabric and ELFy will even have luscious leather magician shoes. There will definitely be a photo in the next newsletter because it’s still in process and under wraps for a bit longer yet…
