Trillium Sitting (in person, Olympia)
with Margit Bantowsky
Sunday, September 25, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, PDT
Topic: Sound and Soul
Join us in an evening of juicy, playful exploration of our multi-dimensional nature! Whole-Being realization involves realizing our wholeness beyond just the local body-mind, and this wholeness is vast beyond measure. It ranges from the most subtle, quantum vibrational Field of Being to the density of matter we call our body and our world. In between the infinite Field of Being and our human body, however, we can experience our unique subtle essence which exists beyond time and space, and which holds deep memory and profound wisdom as well as key aspects of our identity. Because everything at the most fundamental level of existence is vibratory, sound can help us access and embody our wholeness, including our unique subtle essence, or what could be called soul, resulting in a more coherent and multi-dimensional sense of self. The sitting will include sacred sound, guided meditation, and some time for group sharing.
Suggested contribution: $20 - $40 (or what feels right to you)
If this is your first sitting, please contact Margit at margit.bantowsky@gmail.com to introduce yourself and learn a bit about our practices.

Celebrating our new Interning Teacher!
Kirstin Eventyr was "ordained" in June, 2019 through unanimous vote by the Trillium Awakening Teachers Circle, and we are so lucky to have even more of her brilliance and skill available to serve our collective awakening!
Kirstin, a long-time counselor, teacher, and energy healer, and one of the founding members of Trillium Olympia, brings exceptional depth and breadth to everything she does. She is skillful at holding space, supporting nuanced inquiry, and creating transformative learning environments. Her embodied, full-hearted, full-on, nature is grounded and real, yet fluid and responsive and balanced with a robust sense of humor and humility.
Kirstin is a fierce advocate for the tender, messy, dignified magnificence of being one's Self, and is a true gift to all who choose to work with her.

If this describes you, the leadership lab might be just the ticket!
- You find yourself being called into leadership roles, perhaps even reluctantly, or
- You have a special project or idea that won’t let go of you, or
- Life, your awakening process, or your sense of integrity insisting you step forward in a daring way, or
- You would love a small group of committed leaders to share support, inspiration, and accountability to help you grow into your vision and/or capacities, or
- You already in a leadership position and are being challenged to be more conscious, effective, and/or take it to the next level.

Virtual Trillium Sitting
with Joanne Lee
Sunday, December 13, from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, PDT
Topic: Radically Embracing the Unwanted
Radical Embrace is a practice of accepting what is. In our awakening journey we learn to apply the practice to emotions that arise in us — with ease for those that are familiar and welcome and with a bit more rigor with those we would rather dismiss, deny or discount. Turning Radical Embrace inward is a way to love parts of ourselves that may have been rejected or found unacceptable. That inner “yes” can ease long held tension and make room for wholeness. But what happens when we turn our awareness out to the world and radically embrace that which seems unacceptable, unwanted or intolerable? Can we radially embrace Covid-19, for instance? How would we radically embrace a pandemic and what would that mean?
Come explore how these questions land in our bodies and discover the gifts Radical Embrace can deliver.
