Robin Clayfield is a Permaculture pioneer, acknowledged elder, educator, facilitator and best-selling author who is passionate about healthy groups, organisations and communities, their structures and governance and most importantly, their facilitation and group dynamics. She presents and consults around the world to support global health, group and personal well-being and whole systems change through using Permaculture, Social Permaculture, Deep Ecology and her 'Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning' methodology. Robin loves Ritual and Ceremony and supporting people to have their own deep experience of nature, cycles and patterns, rites of passage, transformation and celebration. She’s also a Permaculture educator and trainer of teachers and facilitators while finding time to nurture a 1 acre Permaculture Garden at Crystal Waters Ecovillage where she's lived happily for over 37 years. She is a Mother, Grandmother and Aunty to many.
Robin's brings well over three decades of experience in group facilitation, project design, and transformational learning. She is celebrated for her inclusive, heart-centered approach to education and group work. Her methods are playful yet practical, drawing from her background in social permaculture, community education, and regenerative systems thinking and are relevant far beyond those fields.
