Death Conversation
2025-09-26 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, September 26, 4 -6 pm Pacific / 7- 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.

As we move through our many layers of awakening….our lived experience of our Self changes; in the same way that our relationship with consciousness and with other people changes.

Join me in an experiment of not knowing. Let’s tune in together: who is here today, in this moment? And the next moment?
Let’s sit together with curiosity and trust that Creation is emerging as YOU; evolving your continual, ever changing, ever Awakening Self.

Exploring the Cycles of Life in Times of Change and Loss
2025-09-06 09:00 - 2025-09-07 16:00
Online Core Teaching Event
Each day we are confronted with life handing us changes and losses in relationships, health, work, personal identities, living situations, climate, collective tragedies.…etc. Join Trillium Awakening teachers, Cielle Backstrom and June Konopka as we experientially explore this topic together.
Day One: The Art of Grounding in Presence/Awareness as a Resource in Times of Change and Loss in Life.
September 6: 9:00 – 11:30am PT / 12:00pm – 2:30pm ET and 1:00 – 4:00pm PT / 4:00 – 7:00pm ET
We’ll be creating a group field that will allow us to more deeply connect with the resource of our own awareness and presence. Grounded in our awareness, we’ll be given an opportunity to speak from, and radically embrace, these experiences of change and loss. Time will be made for acknowledging individual transformations and new understandings which give us renewed freedom to be or act.
—Ground yourself more deeply into your resource of awareness/presence, so you have a strong base to greenlight your reactions (of pain, fear, grief, helplessness, and/or resistance) arising during times of change and loss?
— Practice Inviting your reactions to losses (or anticipated losses) into your awareness to be acknowledged, given a voice, embodied, and naturally transformed by loving presence.
—Share individual transformations and insights from this process which have brought you more space or freedom.
Day Two: The Art of Embodying Into the Earth as a Resource in Times of Change and Loss in Life.
September 7: 9:00 – 11:30am PT / 12:00pm – 2:30pm ET and 1:00 – 4:00pm PT / 4:00 – 7:00pm ET

We”ll explore our bodies as deeply connected to the body of the Earth. The life within us is the same life within Nature. When we relax into this deeper embodiment, it brings us another resource for riding the changes that are innate within the cycles of life. And if the timing is right, we may even be shown what is being born out of our losses.
— Ground into the Earth as the body of the Earth.
— Relax into the cycles of life in the same way all of Nature does. Regain trust in being a creature of Earth and this creation.
— Find your place in the cycle of life.
This event will include group discussions and individual focused work with a teacher in small groups of 4-7 participants.
PREREQUISITES: Previous attendance at TA events and/or sessions with a TA teacher.

Navigating Your Initial Whole-Being Realization
2025-08-22 15:30 - 18:30
The Whole-Being Realization is a journey meant to be shared. Though it eventually brings us to the deepest, unfathomable essence of our elemental uniqueness, it also brings us into an intimacy with everyone and everything that is illuminated and enriched by every opportunity for togetherness.
The Navigating Your Initial Whole-Being Realization course is a place for whole-being realizers and whole-being pioneers to come together and learn from each other, with each other. Be inspired by each other. Be touched by each other. To cross-pollinate. A place to feel our common source and witness our infinite variety of manifestation. It’s a place to consder the archetypal encounters and passages of the post-iWBR experience that have crystalized into form through a long history of exactly this kind of mutual exploration.
The NiWBR course provides initiatory teachings to stimulate your further self-discovery and activate your self-recognition in the mirror of the mutual other. It provides whole-being wisdom teachings to enliven the group’s interactive and interconnected field, and to lubricate the journey of our whole-being integration.
