PAT 8 Down Under – Coming March 2018

 

The idea of holding PAT 8 in Australia first surfaced at our Australian MSIA Conference in March 2016. We had a vision of holding the training in 2018 in one of Australia’s ancient and spiritual locations – either the Flinders Ranges in South Australia or at Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Central Australia. We envisaged the training as part of a Traveler Tour where we could all join John and the staff in touring part of our unique country. When this idea was floated at the Ministers Meeting in Sydney that year, there was great enthusiasm and energy and John Morton blessed and supported our intention.

Alas, after months of research, the logistics of holding PAT 8 in such remote locations proved to be impossible – (maybe one day!).  But the community enthusiasm for a PAT 8 in Australia was not daunted and at our 2017 Australian Conference, over 70 people placed a deposit to attend PAT 8 in Australia wherever it was held!

Not to be deterred, we set about finding another location that was more easily accessible. We eventually decided on a beautiful resort, Peppers Craigieburn in Bowral, just under two hour’s drive from Sydney.

100 years since it was first built, Peppers Craigieburn is on a country estate nestled in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales that is reminiscent of a gentrified period in time. It has beautiful gardens, tennis courts and a private golf course (that we thought John might enjoy!). Our basic selves will be well catered for with very comfortable accommodation and delicious food.

On the weekend following PAT 8, we will be holding events in Sydney – an open workshop and a Ministers & Initiates Meeting. For interstate and overseas participants, there will be opportunities to see some of Sydney’s sights, including, perhaps, a boat tour on the beautiful harbour to view the bridge and Opera House. Not quite Uluru – but icons nevertheless!

There are still places available in PAT 8 and we welcome all of our MSIA family around the world to come down-under and join us! We promise to throw another shrimp on the barbie!
