EARTHCARE EDUCATION 
COURSES and WORKSHOPS

Earthcare Education has been evolving since 1990 and in that time the diversity and depth of our presentations has also developed.
As well as still offering two week Permaculture Courses and one week Creative Facilitation Courses (now called 'Dynamic Groups') Robin Clayfield is now presenting and facilitating a variety of Earth Healing and Empowerment experiences as well as key note presentations and workshops at conferences, Festivals and by invitation.

All her work utilizes and models Creative Facilitation Techniques, Interactive Learning Methods, Empowerment Tools, Dynamic Group Energy and Fun. 

Courses and workshops offered by Earthcare Education include:

'DYNAMIC GROUPS' - (A 7 day creative facilitation intensive). This is a useful, powerful and exciting learning experience where the content is 'Process'. It is designed for and will benifit teachers, group leaders, Permaculture educators, activists and any one interested in working with groups in a creative, interactive and needs based way. Robin has taught this course in 8 diverse countries and occasionally leads a 3 day compressed version by invitation when there are time constraints. (Origionally conceived with Skye, this course forms the basis of their 'Manual For Teaching Permaculture Creatively' which has found it's way to over 35 countries around the world.) 

'PERMACULTURE, DEEP ECOLOGY and EARTHCARE DESIGN' - (A 2 week residential experience). This course has been designed by Robin specially for Japanese groups who are wanting to connect deeply with nature and also to cover a similar cirriculum to the standard Permaculture Design Certificate Course. These courses were designed specifically for 'Vital Living International', a Gold Coast based business which hosts groups of Japanese people for 3 months of training in several healing modalities and Permaculture. Robin is also happy to conduct them by invitation in Australia or overseas.

'WILD WOMEN'S WISDOM WEEKENDS' - Zjamal Xanitha and Robin Clayfield combine two lifetimes of experience in group facilitation, Ritual, Deep Ecology and yummy women's work to offer this full and profound experience. Mostly these weekend journeys are conducted on the Sunshine Coast in South East Queensland and are also available in other areas upon invitation.

'GIFTS FOR WILD WOMEN DAYS' - This is a one day experience which brings the theme of Robin's new book, 'Gifts For Wild Women', alive. The day is designed to support women to give themselves many gifts of nurturing, self growth, connection with nature, healing, fun, passion and relaxation. Robin occasionally runs these at her home community of Crystal Waters and will also offer them in other areas if invited and hosted.

'RECHARGE' - your project or business venture.' (a one day workshop designed specifically for the group after a briefing session with the client group/leader). This experience can support a group to move through blocks to full functionallity in areas of team work, group bonding, creative problem solving, visioning and prosperity. Robin will travel to the group or it can be arranged for the day to take place in an appropriate venue that supports the theme of the experience. (i.e. a lush retreat for a Teambuilding and Nurturing Day.) 

'EARTH HEALING THROUGH PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT' -  (A 1 1/2 hour session). This workshop is ideal for conferences, seminars and festivals that have an environmental, Earth healing or personal development focus. Participants are guided through a series or interactive and empowering processes which nurture and support both the self and the planet.

'GIFTS FOR WILD WOMEN (and REAL MEN') - (A 1 to 2 hour process which can be run for women or for a mixed group). This is a deep and nurturing session which is also ideal for seminars, conferences and festivals. A diversity of nurturing, fun and empowering processes are woven together to create a full, juicy and healing experience

'AWAKEN YOUR DREAM' - (A 2 1/2 hour session). This is also a process which fits well in a conference or seminar situation and can also be run as a half day experience where participants share lunch or an evening meal as well. Several gentle processes are woven together to support atendees to fully step forward into their passion and dreams.

CONFERENCE and SEMINAR PRESENTATIONS - (Robin loves the challenge and excitement of creating a session designed to suit the conference theme or current needs of a group). Some examples of past presentations are 'Hearing the Other, Working Together' (2 x 1 1/2 hour sessions during a Heart Politics Conference), 'Deep Change, Creative Pathways into the Future' (1 x 1 1/2 session + 1 x 2 hour session over the duration of another Heart Politics Conference, 'Visioning Session' (for members of a Community Credit Union), 'Trust Games and Building the group Energy' (at Communities Conference and other events), 'Creative Facilitation and Dynamic Groups' sessions for Permaculture Conferences.
