Greetings and Gratitude

    Happy 2018 Wonderful Facilitators, Teachers, Group Leaders and Interested People. Welcome to my first eNews for the year and especially welcome to all who I met in India recently at IPC (International Permaculture Conference and Convergence).
     I've had a very busy year last year and am calling 2018 "The Year of the Books" as I have a very strong intention to have the first two mini books I'm working on out as hard copy and eBooks this year.
     There are articles in this eNews recounting my involvement in IPC India and also a focus on the courses I did in Switzerland in June. I've also written some information about the foundations of group culture and updated you with my course dates for 2018 and how Patreon is going as a wonderful platform to support me financially to get the books created and out to you.
     Thank you so much for being on this journey with me and supporting a better world through creative, dynamic, interactive and successful group work, education and learning.
     I trust you are already having a wonderful year.
                  Robin

Foundations of a Healthy Group Culture

                

A healthy, solid and nurturing foundation is important for any group to grow and achieve it’s vision and purpose. Beyond our groups, organisations, teams, businesses and workplaces, we  can also say the same thing for relationships of all kinds – with our partners, family members and most importantly, with ourselves.  Read more here...

Robin’s excited to offer her ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ Creative Teachers, Facilitators and Group Leaders course at her home community of Crystal Waters in South East Queensland early in the new year.

Spiral Labyrinths for Community and Personal Ceremony + Damanhur

                

Robin’s Sacred Union Labyrinth design is now know to many, having been created as an art and ceremony instillation at Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland these last five years. Robin woke up in a huge rainstorm one morning in January 2011 with the image in her mind. She attributes Labyrinth maker Mark Healy as being a spark of inspiration for her to conceive this design.  Read more here...

Patreon Support Growing to Meet First Goal




There are now 26 of you wonderful people, most of whom have done Robin’s ‘Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning’ training, who are supporting her through Patreon. THANK YOU. Together you are contributing $544 per month which is just $56 short of the first goal of $600 per month.
