  Harri Aalto

  Artist, Group Leader

  Harri Aalto was born in Finland and moved to Toronto, Canada, at the age of five. During his teenage years, Harri attended an art high school and in 1968, graduated with honors from Ontario College of Art. 

  From 1968 through 1978, Harri established his reputation as a fine artist with a number of one-man shows. His more imaginative pieces depict a layered reality of experience that ranges from normal landscapes into a flowing continuum of many levels of subtle perception. 

  Since his mid-twenties, Harri has been practising Self-development techniques to enhance and clarify this inner experience that he has had all of his life. For the past ten years, drawing upon his extensive experiences, Harri has conducted hundreds of regular meetings for those of us who want to more fully understand the full value of their consciousness. These group discussions have been surprisingly effective for awakening the participants to finer, more expanded levels of their own personal realities.

  Sandra Glickman

  Embodied Awakener

  Sandra Glickman has lived in Fairfield, Iowa, since 2004 when she moved to associate with a new relationships and work with a newly formed spiritual/psychological group, Trillium Awakening, an embodied awakening organisation which split off from a former group called Waking Down in Mutuality of Marin County in California.  

  These groups work through the portal of the embodied self, tapping directly into the Oneness, the Wholeness of Being, the Paradox upon which the multiverse appears to be founded:  there is One Reality which appears from the point of view of an incarnated Awakened Witness of arising phenomenon as a Self taking note of the appearance of separate forms emerging from the undifferentiated matrix of Being. 

  Upon close examination this reveals the Mystery of One and Two—that is, the oscillating essence of Separate Identity and of Relationship in the Awakened Life now available to the incarnated and Awakened Seeker—the Union of Self and Other, of Selves and all Others.
