What is Trillium Awakening?
The Trillium AwakeningTM community is a global network of teachers, mentors and participants dedicated to your awakening within these three facets and their integration into daily life. All are committed to offering a path of embodied awakening to any who feel called.
The work is informed by principles derived from the Waking Down teachings of Saniel Bonder and continues to evolve through the collective experience of seasoned teachers and students who deeply explore the living paradox of being divine and human while relating consciously in mutuality.
Each teacher offers Trillium Awakening in their own style, and some also offer their unique awakening, healing, or transformational work. The result is an ever-increasing ability to live a skillful, divinely human life.
The Trillium Journey
Trillium Awakening work can help you awaken, transform your life, and find lasting wholeness. In this process, you stably realize your divinely human nature — not just conceptually, but as a lived experience.
As you recognize that you are both infinite and finite, you relax deeply into this paradox and find you’re no longer solely identified with your human self. You now know yourself as a finite embodiment of infinite Consciousness. This powerful transformation is known as whole-being realization, and represents a permanent quantum shift in your inherent sense of self and fundamentally changes your entire orientation to life. This realization “lands” you in yourself as never before and you recognize yourself, others, and everything to be intrinsic parts of the unified wholeness we call Being.
The Trillium Awakening path is not a shortcut to perfection, nor is perfection a prerequisite for awakening. In fact, your process actually quickens when you bring compassionate awareness to your human patterns and conditioning and relax your efforts to work on or “fix” yourself. You transcend on this path by including everything and excluding nothing.
Awakening in the Context of Conscious Relationship
Our awakening process includes mutuality, a style of conscious relating in which you honor both yourself and others as unique expressions of Being. Mutuality involves profound respect for others, deep empathetic listening, and the ability to consciously reflect others. It also means honoring and speaking your truth while making room for others to do the same – which can be quite challenging. Over time, mutuality builds inner trust with yourself, outer trust with others and creates deep healing and transformation in your life and relationships. To learn more about mutuality click here.
By getting support from our teachers and mentors for this awakening journey, receiving transmission (tacit communication of awakening), and engaging in mutuality, you will be taking the most direct path toward your own awakening.
This has been the experience of hundreds of ordinary people for many years. We welcome you to join us.
Awakening Leads to Deepening and Integration
Whole Being Realization “lands” you in yourself as never before.
This quantum shift in your identity can happen either gradually or suddenly, and fundamentally changes your entire orientation to life.
The initial Whole-Being Realization is not a static state but an ongoing evolution process, where you learn to truly inhabit your physical, emotional, and relational lives with increasing authenticity and wholeness. By embracing the entirety of your human experience – strengths, vulnerabilities, and unresolved patterns alike – you cultivate a grounded and honest connection to yourself.
Over time, the initial Whole-Being Realization evolves to help you live more fully as your authentic self because it integrates awakened consciousness with the specific details of your unique life. Challenges and experiences of your life are no longer seen as obstacles to awakening but as opportunities for growth and alignment. The field of intimate mutuality with others further supports this deepening process by providing a relational field where you can explore and express your evolving authenticity. Through this integration and further realizations, you become a living expression of authenticity, capable of engaging with life’s complexities with greater presence, compassion, and creativity.
The result is an ever-increasing ability to live a skillful, divinely human life.
