Fairfield's Fall Retreat -- October 22-25, 2021

Our 16th annual Fall Retreat

In 2021 our Fall Retreat will take place online.

picture 3You know what it's like to attend a Trillium Awakening (TA) sitting where you soak up transmission during the gazing meditation and cherish your time of sharing who you are ─ your current recognitions, challenges, and blessings ─ in a safe environment of encouragement and mutual honoring. Now imagine a retreat including gazing, presentations, large and small group discussions as well as retreat-style small groups, Yes, this will take place, October 22-25, 2021. This is the sixteenth time we've offered our Fall retreat. Heartfelt connections, deep transformation, lots of fun. We hope you'll join us.

 

We will hold our Fall Retreat online, each of us participating from the comfort of our own homes. Our previous online events have created an intimate connection arising from the mutual commitment to deep transformation over four consecutive days. We'll meet via Zoom, a popular online meeting platform.

Zoom is easy to use. You can connect via a computer or tablet.

 

Since the Spring of 2020 Trillium teachers and participants have found that meeting online for gazing and sharing is very intimate and allows us to connect with our Trillium friends with ease.
