Feast of Trillium Sittings --May 24-27, 2024
In 2024 our 15th annual Feast will take place online.
You 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 Feast of Sittings and Day-long Events including retreat-style small groups May 24-27, 2024. This is the fifteenth time we've offered a Spring Feast. Lots of fun and deep transformation. We hope you'll join us.
Once again, we will hold our Feast online. Our previous online Feast of Sittings have resulted in an intimate connection arising from the mutual commitment to deep transformation on four consecutive days. We met 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.
Our Spring Feast includes two day-long events with retreat-style small groups on Saturday and Sunday afternoons as well as sittings on Friday evening and Monday morning.
Because we want to create as much intimacy as possible, we will only accept registrants who will attend the entire Feast. This allows trust and connection to grow over the 4 days of the Feast
