Welcome to Trillium Olympia!
a vibrant spiritual community
Featuring Trillium Awakening™
educational offerings
supporting a three-fold path of
consciousness, embodiment, and mutuality
“The Trillium path is a fantastic means for awakening. It provides such a deep, holding, accepting container that it allows you to relax into ‘what is’ and awaken relatively quickly and make deep connections with others.”

Upcoming Events:
Virtual Trillium Sitting with Kirstin Eventyr
Sunday, November 1, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, PDT
Topic: Who Am I?
As an awakener we can feel the many aspects of Being that we are: Infinite consciousness, embodied human, leader, creative, child self, healer, parent, twitchy little pile of sadness. So who am I really? In this sitting we will explore the wide range of being available to us and how to have more ease within the vastness that is us. There will be time for gazing, discussion and personal shares.
We'll be using the online Zoom platform.

Presentation + Discussion with Kirstin Eventyr
Sunday, November 15, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm, PDT
Topic: Embodied Being-force: The Body as Oracle
Living in the awareness that we are simultaneously infinite and finite aspects of being can be a challenge. The good news is that the body itself offers up a constant stream of information to inform us along the way. This shows up through: sensation, dreams, energy, emotions, thoughts, etc. When we greenlight our experience of these aspects of Being, we are better able to listen to how they may be communicating with us.
In this presentation Kirstin will share her own process of learning to listen and help you find your own way of letting embodied Being-force guide your body.

"In response to the killing of George Floyd, and the recognition that he is just the latest of hundreds of years of lives sacrificed on the altar of white supremacy, racism and violence, Olympia's Trillium Awakening teachers stand with Black Lives Matter. Our three fold path holds within it the intrinsic recognition of:
Consciousness — Our True Nature is One with all beings regardless of skin color, economic status, ability, and other marginalized qualities.
Embodiment — Our embodied hearts break for the ongoing pain and suffering inflicted upon all people of color and for our role in causing this pain. We acknowledge action must be taken to change how oppression operates within in ourselves and within our society.
Mutuality — Our deeply held value of mutuality compels us to devote our energy to continually educate our selves, listen deeply to people of color (and to members of other marginalized groups), and take action to create change as we are each uniquely moved.
We dedicate our actions to our continued awakening and the awakening of humanity. This inevitably includes awakening to our own and society’s racism and other categories of embedded oppression."

Welcome to the Olympia Trillium Community!
The Trillium path honors and investigates not only the transcendent, but also the physical and the deep relatedness dimensions of the self.
This work offers simple yet potent practices through which we can lean into the spacious and 'divine' aspects of all that we are, even as we explore and embrace the difficult, estranged, and forgotten facets that tend to conceal our greatest gifts. In community, we "walk each other home."

In the company of a diverse and growing community of fellow practitioners from Olympia and the Northwest, and with the wider support and transmission from the international Trillium community, we engage with ourselves and one another through regular local gatherings in a context of mutual encouragement and exploration.
Our circles of practice help keep us focused on awakening to full recognition and acceptance of the challenging truth of being both divine and human—each as our own unique expression of Being. In this place of practice we can unfold in trust as we recognize with ever-expanding awareness the fullness of our authentic, embodied selves. As we become more established in that reality, we naturally become more completely available to ourselves and the world. We welcome your unique, divinely human expression!
"Your Being is one seamless event. To realize the depth of the boundless part, you must also permit the depth of the bounded, conditioned part."
