People from all walks of life attended and a highlight was having a few people participate who had been wanting to do the course for several years and had finally made the time to come.

Western Australia was alive with it’s amazingly colourful and diverse wild flowers when Robin was there visiting for three weeks in October to attend the APC 13 (Australasian Permaculture Convergence) and present a five day Advanced Permaculture Teachers course. Robin was invited by Ross Mars, the convener of APC 13 and post APC courses, and was hosted very well by Ross, Charles Otway and other PermaWest members. The convergence was held in the Swan Valley and the weather was atrocious. Flying from warm spring days in Queensland to really cold blistery days for the whole 1st week in WA, the attendees were, like Robin, mostly unprepared and very cold. The spirits of all gathered were really high though and the great connections, time with old friends, valuable networking and interesting presentations and workshops made it all worthwhile. Robin enjoyed being a Key Presenter at the big public day preceding the …

Great feedback was received from participants in Robin’s two day Intro to ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ course at Northey Street City Farm recently. Organised by the Education Coordinator of the farm, Emma Brindle, the course attracted people from as far away as Hong Kong while also catering to employees and teachers at the inner city Brisbane farm.  “In two days I feel I have gained a more comprehensive framework and set of tools than in my teaching degree.” Ken “As dense, tasty and wholesome as a slice of sourdough TOAST.” “The two day intro has opened up a world of possibilities when facilitating groups learning. A must for educators.” Gavin N.S.C.F. “This course gave me a toolbox of practical processes so I can facilitate exciting, effective learning experiences.” Ronnie Martin
