The write stuff
ROBIN has recently started writing regularly for Breathing Space, the Totnes-based mind, body and spirit magazine.

In fact, his contributions to magazines stretch back even longer than his career in financial advice.

His regular column in Connect, the most established of the region’s alternative magazines, has appeared since its very early days 10 years ago.

Of the other publications to feature his writings over the years, some were mainstream, some so very niche and some no longer around. See how many you know, or remember: Caduceus, Juno, New Money, Pure, Wave, Vitality Matters, Dartmouth Lifestyle, New Vision, Paths of Wisdom, Resource, Financial Services, Barchester Chronicle, Green Guide, the Evening Standard and even Cosmopolitan, when it was still using the F-word – feminism!

Friends across the Channel
THE good citizens of Paris will soon be Making Friends With Money.

Robin is very excited that he will be running his first workshop there (on Rue Notre Dame, De Champs), sometime in November.

The French connection came about after someone read one of Robin’s articles in Resource magazine and asked him if he would interested in running a workshop there.

The answer was: “Find 20 people who want to do it, and a venue, and I’ll be over”. Which is, incidentally, Robin’s response to anyone who wants a workshop in their area.

So far, these ‘hosted’ workshops have run in: St Albans, various venues in London, Brighton, Newcastle, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Newton Abbot, Jersey, Axminster and Exmouth.

If you’re interested, get in touch – you’ll get a free workshop place, or two, and all the credit for bringing the workshop you your home town.

Guilty as charged
MOST of us have money issues at some time in our lives - and some have them throughout their lives. So it’s not surprising that Making Friends With Money attracts all types of people.

It might be surprising to some that it has attracted at least one multi-millionaire.

The women in question had inherited her wealth and devoted her life to charitable works in an attempt to off-set her feelings of guilt – how could she have so much money when she had not worked for it?

After completing the workshop, she told Robin that it was the first time she had “felt safe around money”.

The charity work continued, but for the right reason – and she enjoyed it a good deal more.

Sold on the workshop
PERHAPS the most dramatic response to the Making Friends With Money Workshop came from a couple who, soon after completing it, decided to sell their home and move abroad.

The workshop allowed to see that their lifestyle was not in any sense sustainable and that they were not being true to themselves.

What they really wanted to do, they realised, was work with the poor overseas – and their regular emails to Robin say they’re still the happiest they’ve ever been.

Calculator-free zone
AS soon as you mention workshops on the subject of money, some people think financial advice, budgeting and calculators.

“Nothing could be further form the truth,” says Robin. “in fact, I would just loathe to run a workshop on that!”
