Rev Partick Cameron, Spiritual Leader

Patrick Cameron is a sought after International speaker with a varied background in both business and the arts. He began working at an early age in his father’s general store, managed his own business in master carpentry and then worked in Hollywood for over a decade. His credits include roles in a number of successful movies and television series including Lethal Weapon 1 & 2, The Goonies, Falcon Crest, Hunter and the A-Team.

Like many others in Hollywood, Patrick moved closer and closer to success and farther from meaning. Then he took a leap from acting and carpentry to preaching and teaching at a small “new thought” community in Fillmore California.

In 2002 he accepted the position of Spiritual Director of the Centre for Spiritual Living here in Edmonton. Patrick’s training and experience as a professional actor assisted him in his delivery and sharing of what he sees as the “perennial truth” in a clear, simple and inspiring manner. In a decade he built the Edmonton Centre for Spiritual Living into the largest and fastest growing New Thought community in the country.

In his soon to be released book Hollywood to Heaven – stairway to an inspired life, Patrick describes his life pursuing success and glory in Hollywood, followed by a search for personal value behind the pulpit. Then the realization that it is not necessary to choose success in business over meaning in life; you can have both.

According to a member of Patrick’s Board of trustees “Patrick is not a preacher of dogma, but a gifted learned teacher of inspired living. Like other Avatars, his wisdom and energy have the capacity to change lives and he does so daily.”
