Magic happens in Dynamic Groups and Learning happens easily

The “Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning” method forms the basis of the course. It contains the knowledge of how magic unfolds in dynamic groups and how learning can happen effortlessly. You will be able to experience for yourself how this feels. At the same time, you will also gain experience in how to create and moderate this dynamic for others.

The course enables you to creatively design and lead your own “dynamic groups” by combining the important and often crucial elements for effective and successful learning and group work. It is a refreshing, heart-centered, and holistic learning method that is widely appreciated.

The interactive learning environment, the creative processes, and the underlying commitment to the unfolding and development of each participant and the group as a whole is what makes this course so unique. The course is based on permaculture principles and represents a sustainable form of education and learning.

You will learn how dynamic groups function successfully, how learning processes can be made easy and effective, and how you yourself can act as a confident and competent facilitator.
