Resources

Organized Gazing resources:
Youtube video regarding in person gazing– Uttcheon Gazing System – Step-by-step instructions for organizing gazing pairs in person.

Online (Zoom) Gazing tips – PDF instructions for the organizer —

Instructions to participants (to be sent beforehand with the list of participants and first pairs):
  • Keep the numbered list of participants below nearby during the gazing. You can write it, print it or keep it in another window on your computer.
  • Note who your first gazing partner is, keeping in mind it might be yourself.
  • After you gaze with your first partner, you will gaze with the next person on the list (one number higher than your first partner).
  • After you gaze with the person at the end of the list, gaze with the person at #1. When you get to your own name, gaze with yourself.
  • Each time you gaze, you will "pin" your gazing partner.
    • Find the video square of your partner. 
    • Hover in the upper right corner of their picture and choose "pin", this will center them in a larger view on your screen. This may vary with different online meeting programs. It may not work the same on phones.
International Trillium Awakening Web Site:
  • trilliumawakening.org – includes a listing of all the Trillium Awakening teachers as well as their essays and videos. Plus Trillium events virtual and in-person, nationally and internationally.

Olympia Teachers' presentations at Red Lion Hotel, Olympia
Interning Trillium teachers Joanne Lee and Margit Bantowsky recently gave three one-hour talks at Olympia Red Lion Hotel's "Living Stage" on the topics of 
  • What is Consciousness?
  • Radical Embodiment
  • Explorations in Mutuality
What is Consciousness?
Radical Embodiment
Explorations in Mutuality
Trillium Awakening Consciousness Summit
​Trillium Awakening teacher, Cielle Backstrom, noticed that as a teacher she had relatively few readily available resources within the Trillium path that spoke to the important subject of consciousness clarification and identification and the variety of experiences and recognitions that hallmark this seminal transition. So Cielle decided to create her own “Consciousness Summit” by interviewing and recording a number of Trillium experts on the subject. Check it out here: Trillium Awakening Consciousness Summit
John Bottone - Beyond Psychotherapy
In a recent offering from Trillium Awakening teacher, John Bottone, helps us understand embodied awakening in the context of transpersonal dimensions of psychological growth. Check out his two excellent videos!

"Once true and total Being clearly gets the green light to realize and express itself fully, it begins to overhaul the whole organism, the whole circuitry and wiring of life-patterns."
