Being Seen, Being Met, Being Loved – An In-Person retreat in Perth, Western Australia

April 6, 2023 - April 10, 2023

Being Seen, Being Met, Being Loved are three beings at the heart of the relational spirituality embodied in Trillium Awakening.

These Three Beings of “Withness” give rise to deep greenlighting in the Trillium work:

  • Being Seen as we are, not needing to be more than that
  • Being Met as we are, not needing to be other than that
  • Being Loved as we are, not needing to be better than that.

All together, they express mutuality as Unconditional Relatedness. They provide the sun, soil and rain that brings each of us into full bloom. They are three bright beacons of soul-welcome.

After the initial realization of our whole being nature, the Journey of Deepening continues in inward, outward and mutual Being Seen, Being Met, Being Loved—all the way to soul fruition.

Nourished in the heart by these three beings, in time we come to discover that our very own self—warts, wounds, contractions, density and all—is a moment-to-moment, living-breathing and undeniable truth of existence.

And it turns out we have always been cherished as that by Life itself. We are all Life’s chosen one.

This 4-day bodies-in-the-room Trillium Awakening retreat at Easter time (April 6-10, 2023) is in Perth, Western Australia. It will include teacher presentations, emergent group conversations, and experiential self-and-other discovery processes in pairs, triads, small groups. As whole being soul companions on a journey of co-realization, we softly sing each other forward, enjoying the emergence of what’s next for each one to confidently own as the truth of their sovereign nature.

Facilitator(s)

  • Ralf Humphries (interning teacher)

    Ralf Humphries enjoyed a distinguished academic career in the 1990’s, before turning sharply inward in 2003 and spending five years as a Buddhist recluse. Following a dramatic fall-to-earth at the end of his monastic life, Ralf entered a period of reconfiguration, and arrived at the doorstep of Trillium Awakening in 2011. It was with the “Being Seen, Being Met, Being Loved” support of this community that he realized his whole-being nature in May, 2013. In the last ten years, Ralf has worked as a psychotherapy educator and a senior mental health clinician. He currently has a private practice as a therapist, is a teacher with Trillium Awakening, and a guide for the Whole Being Evolution Path. Ralf lives with his beloved life partner in Melbourne, Australia.    

  • Debbie Amos (mentor)

    Debbie Amos has been actively involved with Trillium Awakening since 2009. Listening to the audiobook of Saniel Bonder’s Waking Down around that time, she immediately recognised an approach that was in alignment with her own felt sense—one that valued the whole person, held space for the transformation that can come with investigation of self and other as well as consciousness, and which recognises them as part of the same whole. Her path with Trillium Awakening lead to a spiritual awakening—but also a personal awakening into a rich fullness of self. Debbie has a Bachelor of Psychology, teaches meditation, mindfulness, and Qigong, and is a Transformational coach. She lives in Melbourne, Australia.

  • Cory Coops (mentor)

    Cory Coops has been enthusiastically engaged in Trillium Awakening since 2016. In 2017 he dropped into his initial whole being awakening. This culminated in the recognition that his essential nature is the paradox of infinite consciousness and the complexity of ever evolving human life. As a participant, the deep acceptance, unconditional love and authenticity that is embodied by the Trillium support team inspired him to become a mentor. This has allowed him the joyous (and catalytic) opportunity to support people in their own unique process of self discovery. Cory has over a decade experience of working as a mental health support worker, a bachelor of psychology and is trained in Hakomi; a mindfulness based somatic therapy.
