All Hearts on Deck with Margit Bantowsky
(a Virtual TA Related Teaching Event)
Saturday, February 11, 10:00 am - noon, PDT
Leverage the power of collective awakening to help us encounter life’s beauty and heartbreak, and to radiate our prayers of compassion into the fabric of life. Using an organic process of emergence, we’ll deepen our embodied consciousness as embedded in the Great Unfolding, sense into the “Prompts of Being,” and invite new evolutionary possibilities. Join like-hearted companions in an alchemical circle to transmute fear and grief, cultivate gratitude and celebration, and bring our sacred gifts into the Whole.
Suggested contribution: $20 - $30

Trillium Sitting (in person, Olympia)
with Margit Bantowsky
Sunday, March 12, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, PDT
Topic: Embodied Radiance
We are an infinitely luminous being of pure consciousness married to a fleshy, flawed, beautiful human body. In this sitting we will explore subtle dimensions of our infinite nature and how to bring them into increasing coherence with our local, material bodies. Margit will use sound as a tool for illumination and integration throughout the journey.
Suggested contribution: $20 - $40 (or what feels right to you)
Register with Margit. Also, if this is your first sitting, please contact Margit at margit.bantowsky@gmail.com to introduce yourself and learn a bit about our practices.

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!
