Solstice Gathering
In person, Olympia with Joanne Lee and Margit Bantowsky
Thursday, December 21, from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm, PDT
Collaborative Sound Bath Ritual 3:00 - 6:00 pm
Potluck 6:15 - 7:15 pm
Dance 7:30 - 9:00 pm
Sound Bath Ritual
Come to a magical space and distill your year into precious pearls. Step through a portal and invoke intention and blessings for the year to come. Soak in the transmission of sound, song, poem, and scent (and maybe even a gentle procession to a sacred grove of cedars).
Each participant will state their new-year intention, and the kind of sound and optional touch they would like. Then the others will collectively, spontaneously tone, hum, chime, etc. to create a delicious, harmonic, nurturing sound bath for that recipient.
Potluck
Break bread, nourish one another generously, and raise cheer in shared conviviality.
Dance
Move through the darkest night into light, with a specially curated dance journey (includes community-suggested songs), by medicine-jockey Margit.
Pick your part(s)!

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 growing community of fellow practitioners from Olympia and the Northwest, and with the wider support and transmission from the international Trillium Awakening 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!
