Maura
Luxford has completed her epic ride from Kempsey to Melbourne to
raise awareness of melanoma and fund-raise for the Peter MacCallum
Cancer Centre.
Check
out Maus' wonderful blog and there's also quite a few media links

Also here's an article that appeared in the Herald Sun 28 November
2009 PDF
.
Carol Dyer and Wendy Bignell were delighted to be in Melbourne at
the Peter McCallum Institute to celebrate Maura's completion of
her Ride4acure marathon. A substantial crowd of family, friends
of Hannah and Institute staff were as excited as we were to be there.
Carol and I felt we were, in a small way, representative of ATERC
friends, all of us who have cried, laughed, supported and contributed
to such an amazing journey. Heartiest congratulations to Maura and
all involved for such a wonderful tribute to Hannah.'

TASMANIA
WATERHOLE
An enjoyable and productive weekend of
personal work and professional development was held at “Swanhaven”,
Mairin Campbell’s centre at Somerset Tasmania on the weekend
of Nov 14-15th. Vicki Nicholson provided stirring music from
her Grof repertoire for the breath sessions which were held on the
Saturday . Thanks to the professional and heartfelt response of
waterhole members who embraced the inclusion of one of Mairin’s
clients in crisis for a breath session. On Sunday Jan Edmitson
led us through a process developed by Parker J Palmer and invented
by the Quakers in the 1600s. It is called the “ Clearness
Committee” and the group help the person needing clarity
to find their decision by asking honest , open questions. We all
found it very interesting. Dates for the 2010 program for
Tassie practioners have been set and anyone visiting from interstate
would be welcome at our Tassie gathering.

to do personal work and reconnect into the support of "community"

for 2010!
Hello, Pat Quinn here. Our 2010 program is now available.
Please check our website for details www.portiunculacentre.com
Lots has happened here at the Port this past year – we had
our largest group ever of third year graduates leave us in June
and we are currently delivering training to 4 groups. This means
the place buzzes with activity on a very regular basis.
Those of you who have received our newsletters would know that I
am recovering from a hip replacement which went very well. I anticipate
bouncing back into my life and my work here with a new spring in
my step and renewed enthusiasm to get on with the job – the
job of making sure this centre delivers workshops and training programs
that continue to be relevant in today’s ever changing marketplace.
Members of our staff are constantly undergoing training themselves
to make sure they are delivering the latest up-to-date skills.
So please give me a quick call and I will see if what is going on
here at the Port can assist you to get much, much more out of life.
With kind regards, Pat Quinn, Director
P.S. Please do not hesitate to call after hours
or on the weekends: ph (07) 4633 1383
In a couple of weeks we have the last workshop for 2009 –

WHERE? The Inner Journey Centre, Ellenborough!
WHEN? 23rd p.m. to 27th p.m. September
COST? Share in the cost of food plus $10 p/p per
night (to cover electricity etc)
HISTORY: Lynette Fox travelled to Zurich and brought
back notes of a lecture by David Tacey. She took the notes of this
lecture to the ATERC National Gathering earlier this year. Janine
Taranto got a copy of these notes and was very excited about what
she read! She then emailed the paper to Wendy Bignell and Chris
Chaplin. They have a phone hookup and sharing about what they have
read and then Steve and Patricia are made aware of all this!
Patricia suggested a discussion about the paper at the next Mid
North Coast Waterhole Gathering. There was just not enough time
to do justice to all that is held within this experience and therefore
out of that comes this invitation to you! We hope you will gather
with us at Ellenborough to discuss and work to allow ourselves to
receive whatever the Transpersonal Energy wants of us in these Times.
Those who gather will decide on the program. Please bring:-
• bed linen plus the usual stuff-drawing material etc •
If you have any special food needs, please bring them!
Be assured of a Special Welcome and also be assured that we will
be Nourished and Delight in each other!

Portiuncula
- What's On?
Hello,
it’s Pat from the Port,
Our quarterly Holotropic Breathwork workshop is coming soon –
the weekend of the 5th & 6th September. If you haven’t
engaged in Breathwork at our centre before, you need to come on
the Friday evening, 4th Sep at 7:45pm.
In late June nine lovely people began the 6 month course “Expanding
your personal potential” and they are getting heaps out of
the experience, not only are they engaging in the range of modalities
on offer, they are also receiving an excellent understanding of
the principles involved and benefiting from the support of their
group.
At the end of July, twenty-five experienced counsellors participated
in the week of Sandplay training and they were supported by an excellent
team of 10 facilitators. The course was very well received (as well
as the great food!).
The Sandplay week happens just once a year so if you are interested
mark it on your calendar for next year – late July. Check
out our website at www.portiunculacentre.com
for more information. Or phone 07 4633 1383 anytime.
With every good wish, Pat Quinn.

Maintaining

At
the recent ATERC Management Committee meeting we spoke of the benefits
inherent in maintaining and strengthening our links with PACFA as
our umbrella organisation. Two upcoming events that the MC would
like to support your possible attendance at are
1. Thea is attending the PACFA AGM
at St kilda's College University of Melbourne Parkville Vic 22nd
and 23rd August. We feel it is important for another person to attend
with Thea. Is that person you? Air fare and accomodation will be
paid for. Contact Thea directly.
2. The ACA (Australian Counselling Association)
and PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia)
Conference ' Australia Dreaming: Coming Together' (see
website) looks very exciting and is to be held Fri 2nd and Sat 3rd
October 2009 at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra. Full registration fees
would be paid for the first two applicants. A request to post a
report of your experience on the website would be the only requirement.
You would remain responsible for your fares and accomodation. Are
you one of these two people? Email Wendy Bignell if you wish to
apply. The Conference is family friendly with childcare and programs
for families with and without children.
We await your response, Wendy Bignell

Changes
in ATERC Supervision Requirements
Minimum
10 hours of supervision for TERC, now needs to be from a Supervisor
trained in TERC. Since we joined PACFA some supervision has been
accepted form Supervisors outside TERC. This is still fine for membership
with PACFA but doesn't fulfill the TERC requirements.
The following statement from member of our National Body of Trainers
explains why:
"TERC is a specialised form of work, potentially dealing with
deep non ordinary states of consciousness. This brings in special
considerations ethically and practically and it is important that
the supervisor be able to think and respond to these specific issues-
even if the supervisee is not thinking about them. Modalities such
as sand play and body focused work and even voice dialogue are all
specialised areas, requiring a deep understanding of Junging principles-
otherwise the modality remains on the level of a technique rather
than deepening more and more into the underlining principles. Thinking
transpersonally and examining issues that may be presenting on that
level would seem out of the province of a non TERC trained supervisor.
I think that these issues are all relevant for all TERC members
and especially for members who are in their first few years of practice."
These new requirements will apply from the 09-10 year.
You will find a List of Supervisors at
http://www.aterc.com/members/aterc_supervision.htm
and an updated version of the Record of Supervision,
Personal and Professsional Development is available
there also.

some lectures given by David Tacy. David is a professor at Monash
University in Melbourne and lectures on Australian Spirituality

papers and been excited by them. We were going to have one as discussion
paper at our recent waterhole gathering but decided that we could
not do it justice. We have decided to come together for a few days
of stimulating conversation that will include how we see ourselves
in the current world situation and our vision for the future.

Dear
friends,
Recently we had a wonderful celebration here at the Port when 13
graduated from third year Counsellor training and 6 completed their
first year. I was sad to see the 13 leave but I am excited at the
prospect of their sharing their gifts and skills in the wider community.
They are a very lovely group of people.
On Sat week a new group commences the "Expanding your personal
potential program" which extends over 6 months. One has relocated
from Nth Qld and one from Adelaide as they are very keen to engage
in the course. The other members are within driving distance of
the Port.
If you are interested in this course and had forgotten the closing
date , you would need to phone me ASAP - 07 4633 1383
The last week of July is the week of Sandplay & Symbolwork.
Download information .pdf .
This course is particularly popular with those in the helping
professions. We still have a few vacancies if you want to come or
if you know of someone else who would like to attend. I am attaching
a flyer with details.
All the best,
Pat Quinn
Director

'JourneyLines'
Opening at Jiggi, NSW
A warm hearted congratulations goes to Martha Calhoun
and Dave West on the opening of their new TERC training centre,
at Jiggi on the NSW North Coast region, just outside of Lismore.
On Saturday June 6th about 20 fellow TERCies and friends and family
joined in the celebrations as Sharon Smith, Gumbayngir Woman, led
us in sacred ritual acknowledging the Bunjalung people and inviting
those gathered to call "Oi!" and proclaim who they are
and where they had come from. Sharon then shared the sacred story
of the Fig Tree, before calling us all to step into the purifying
smoke and cleansing ourselves with it.
Martha and Dave called us into the new beautiful work-room (built
by their own labour) where Patricia Nolan presented them with a
blue-glass oil lamp which had been handed on to Patricia by Ahrara
Carisbrooke when the former was leaving the Living Waters Centre,
Lawson, to take up the work of ERC with Mark Pearson. A wonderful
symbol of passing on the light. Martha and Dave also honoured Steve
and Patricia with a rice-paper scroll on which was inscribed in
Chinese caligraphy the word "love". This
was a thoughtful acknowledgement of the heritage of Dave and Martha's
own training.
The hosts invited all the guests to take a glass stone and to drop
it into a symbolic well in the centre of the room and to utter a
blessing upon the workspace, its builders, and all who will use
it. Sharings that touched the heart followed. Dave and Martha shared
a little about their experience of building the new Centre and offered
sincere gratitude to those who had helped support them to do so.
Special mention was made of the support the local neighbours had
given in labour and providing emotional support.
The ceremony closed with the proclamation by our hosts of the words
"We now declare this new Centre - Open !!"
A delicious repast continued the Feast in a most appropriate way
and when that was concluding the ring-master Wendy Bignell initiated
great hilarity with a game of toss the pigs! Well peels of laughter
rolled across the valley as Janine Taranto rounded the table imitating
an animal defying description. Not willing to let the embers of
joy die dim, Wendy led us in competition imitating chickens in various
states of life!
At the conclusion of a wonderful day, many departed for home, but
the TERC guests bunked for the night in caravans. One even survived
the cold in a tent.
Sunday, TERC practitioners gathered for their first north coast
waterhole in
the new room.
Thanks Dave and Martha for your hospitalilty and for keeping the
light burning!

Changes
to Applying for ATERC Full Practicing Membership
Dear
Members, this message really applies to those applying for Full
Practising Membership. There are a couple of changes that needed
to be made to the Record of Supervision /Professional and Personal
Development document sent out to you recently. I have attached the
amended document. .doc
The amendments are:-
• the dates which apply to the information we need are 1/7/08
- 30/6/09.
• the Management Committee voted, during the meeting held
on 19th March 2009 at our National Gathering, to increase the amount
of Professional Development required from 10 hours to 15 hours.
This brings us in line with the PACFA requirements, which many members
are now meeting anyway.
I apologise for any inconvenience and confusion! Please contact
me if you need clarification,
with all my best wishes, Marilyn Wadick
President, Association of Transpersonal & Emotional Release
Counsellors
