ATERC 8th National Gathering
ALCHEMY - Transmuting into Essence

18 - 22 March 2009, St. Mary's Towers Retreat Centre, Douglas Park, NSW

38 participants shared the Alchemy over the last week and left having harvested the gold of the experience. From the opening Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony of the Dharawal Elders (special thanks to them; Fran Bodkin, Gavin Andrews and Uncle Ivan Wellington) through the wonderful presentations of our own members, including that of our third year presenter Barbara BriggsLivet, into some powerfull process with Ana Barner, through a Vision Q
uest in the wee hours of the morning in the bushland, to our closing rituals, the Alchemy continued to work deep in us for the world. A special highlight was the social night - Steve and Eileen's redition of an old classic was wonderful; Jonathan Anstock is so amazingly talented on guitar; Caresse's poetry recital; and Pat Quinn's story telling had some of us stuck to the walls. Well done everyone!!
To check out the papers and program or to view the Gathering Photo Album go the Member's Section. Not a member? Well you ought to see what your'e missing out on!

This form asks for the name of the supervisor, the period of supervision, the number of hours of supervision and the number of hours of related client contact.

Reconnecting - the Victorian TERC "Wellspring Gathering"
The Victorian Waterhole/Wellspring gathering of TERC was on Saturday, January 31st at Catherine’s place in Glen Waverley. There were only four of us there this time (Josephine, Corrie, Carol and Catherine) which seemed very small after our end-of-year gathering at Geelong of around 11 or so.
However, as always, this number felt exactly right and we had a gentle yet powerful introduction to the year in the personal work each of us was able to do.
Nourished by a delicious shared lunch and enjoying the space with Catherine’s delightful Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Coco, the day was a beautiful time of re-connecting with one another and with TERC.

Transpersonal Dialogue Early Bird and individual sessions with Ana Barner
     Hi, I wanted to invite you to the following seminar:
I am presenting a Voice Dialogue seminar on Sunday March 22. This one day Transpersonal Dialogue event is a new format where I combine Voice Dialogue and Big Mind Big Heart, a transformational group enquiry developed by Zen master Genpo Roshi, based on Voice Dialogue. http://www.bigmind.org I have done several programs and trainings with him and this exciting process is extending and deepening the work I have been doing around integrating personality and essence.
     Cost of the seminar is $175 for the day but if you enrol by this Friday
     you can take advantage of the Early Bird reduced price of $150.
     I also still have spaces for individual and couples sessions available on Saturday March 21 in the afternoon
     and Monday March 23 during the day.

Let me know if any of this interests you, if you need more information or want to enrol. anabarner@transpersonaldialogue.com
Warm regards Ana
