Core Teaching Event
Trillium Awakening East:
Splashing Moon Sittings
An online event every third Sunday of each month
With Trillium Awakening East Teachers
We chose the name Splashing Moon Sittings as a reflection of how consciousness meets lived experience. The moon has long symbolized awareness—clear, reflective, and ever-present. When it appears undisturbed, it shines perfectly on still water. But when the water is in motion, the moon seems to shimmer, break and scatter. In the same way, our lives are the “splashing”—the movements of emotion, thought, relationship and circumstance. These sittings are a space where we don’t try to still the water or fix the splashes, but instead recognize that consciousness is present within all of it. Even in the movement, the moon is never lost.
We will be exploring the living arc of transformation that unfolds along the path from the early movements of Pre-Awakening into the grounded clarity of Whole-Being Realization, where the recognition of our true nature begins to stabilize in the midst of ordinary life. From there, we open into Heart-Realization, where awakening is no longer simply known, but deeply felt, where the heart becomes a living organ of connection, sensitivity and love, and the boundaries between self and other begin to soften.
As this deepens, we move into Conscious Embodiment, where realization is no longer something we access, but something we live through the body as our sensations, emotions and actions becoming expressions of awakened presence. This matures into Luminous Presence, where awareness shines through the body-mind with a natural radiance, illuminating both our humanity and our divinity without separation.
Finally, we enter the domain of Mutuality, where awakening flowers in relationship. Here, realization is no longer an individual attainment, but a shared field of being which is alive between us. This culminates in Divine Relationship with Onlyness, where each person is recognized in their irreducible uniqueness, and at the same time, as an expression of the One. In this meeting, the Infinite and the Intimate are no longer two. Each encounter becomes a sacred expression of the whole, revealed through the uniqueness of each being.
Come and join us in the beautiful exploration of Being.
