Trillium Sitting (in person, Olympia)
with Margit Bantowsky
Friday, July 8, 4:30 pm - 7:30 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)

"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."
