The process of meditation is to connect you more with your essential self, to bring your spirit into this physical space. The idea of practicing meditation is to bring greater alignment to what we feel, think, say and do – to harmonize all the different parts of ourselves. Join Trillium teacher Allan Morelock as we locate our consciousness and bring it into this physical moment with us – and use this wholeness to direct our attention outwards to all with grace, benevolence, and love.

Opening the Three Brains: Head, Heart, and Hara with Bill Epperly
In this meditation, guided by Interning Trillium Teacher Bill Epperly, you will learn to access and open your three wisdom centers, or brains: the head, heart and hara (or gut). These three centers are locations in the body where significant numbers of neurons are found. Centers that process information in unique ways. In our natural state, all three are open and in communication with each other. As we move through the day, they can become congested or closed. They can begin operating independently, rather than in an integrated fashion. In this meditation, you will practice opening them, getting a feel for each, before integrating them into a seamless experience of spacious, embodied presence.

Join Trillium teacher June Konopka as she guides us through the core Trillium teaching of letting go of the need to fix ourselves.
Embodied Consciousness Meditation with Sanji Hills
We invite you to join Trillium Teacher Sanji Hills in a meditative exploration of embodied experience as a route to consciousness.

When noticing the effortless movement of attention, one can start to become fully embodied just as we are.
Gravity Meditation with Steve Boggs
Gravity is an attractive force present throughout the universe drawing everything into closer communion. Embodied awakening is an apprenticeship to love–we fall into it.

Radical Embrace Meditation with Cielle Backstrom

Nurturing Our Capacity to Hold Meditation with Denise Gallagher
These unusual times are calling each of us to deepen our capacity to “hold” ourselves, others and current events. In the Trillium dharma, holding is defined as being in Presence with something or someone with heartfelt support for the other as they are.

In this meditation, Trillium Awakening Interning Teacher Denise Gallagher explores the multiple dimensions of holding.
