Death Conversation
2025-05-23 16:00 - 18:00
In 2024 we launched the Trillium Death Café, not realizing that using the name Death Café would have required us to sign an agreement with the Death Café organization. After learning that the organization doesn’t make that agreement with spiritual organizations like ours, we naturally wanted to respect their boundaries, and that’s why we changed the name of these gatherings to Death Conversations.
Our meetings will still be based on the guidelines and format of the Death Café, which started in 2011 and is now a worldwide movement. Our Trillium meetings will simply have a different name.
Death Conversations offer a safe and caring place to talk about what’s on your mind and heart about the end of life–the end of your life, the end of your loved ones’ lives, or the end of the life of anyone who has impacted you.
A participant volunteers to speak briefly about what comes up for them when they think about the end of life. The next person might continue with the same topic, or might raise another. Group members express their thoughts, feelings, concerns, and questions about death. Meetings have no planned agendas or topics, and no expected outcomes.
Death Conversations will be held monthly on Fridays and Saturdays, with a limit of 10 participants.
To register for the Death Conversation that will take place Friday, May 23, 4 – 6 pm Pacific / 7 pm – 9 pm Eastern, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/RuHHSkmHEGV7QGiD8
Sara Perry will email you a confirmation and the Zoom link.

Rotating meeting facilitators will include End of Life Work Group members and Cielle Backstrom.

Facing Change with Trust in Being
2025-05-08 16:00 - 18:00
This is a core-teaching event
Trust in Being in Times of Transition
As we approach the first hundred days of the new administration, it may be difficult to remember to Trust in Being and also that everything we encounter is Consciousness arising as itself in and as THAT. Let’s come together in mutuality to share how we’re navigating change and how to face that change with trust in Being.
This sitting is an opportunity to come together and speak whatever you’re feeling about the changes we’re undergoing as a country. We’ll hold each other in mutuality and help to reframe worries into what ifs: What if it’s all beyond our control? (It is). What if what happens is beyond our knowing? (It is). How can we rest in this not knowing and Trust in Being to carry us through whatever may come? If we can find this Trust, then we can act as we’re called to act as the needs arise. Join us!

Free End-of-Life Educational Seminar: What We Might Expect During the Dying Process
2025-05-04 16:00 - 17:30
Maybe you’ve experienced being with someone as they were dying. Maybe you haven’t. It’s likely that you will at some point. Perhaps it will be a family member, a relative, or a friend.
This seminar is an opportunity to explore what’s likely to happen when someone is dying. The actual experience can be very different from how dying–and the moment of death–are typically portrayed in movies and on TV.
How do we interpret the changes we see in the dying person? What is “normal” and what might indicate that something is wrong? What is likely to happen as death approaches, and at the moment of death?
Knowing what we might expect during the dying process helps us understand and navigate the changes we see when someone is dying, and helps us know how we can best care for them. It can relieve the additional––and unnecessary––anxiety and alarm of believing that something has gone wrong.
Why wait to express to our loved ones The Four Things That Matter Most (according to Dr. Ira Byock): “I love you. I forgive you. Thank you. Please forgive me.” We might not have the opportunity to do so later on.
We invite you to attend the first of our free end-of-life educational seminars, to be held on Sunday May 4th, 4 – 5:30 pm Pacific / 5 – 6:30 pm Mountain / 6 – 7:30 pm Central / 7 – 8:30 pm Eastern
Please join us. No need to register.
