Living the Legacy: Honoring the Life & Teachings of Atum O’Kane
With Margie Gillis, Kairn Mahon Carrington, Oriane Lee Johnston and Steven Flynn
July 11 - 16, 2025
Led by a group of Atum O’Kane’s students and soul friends, journey deeper into the practices shared by Atum and be held in sacred community.
We know from experience there is exponential power in doing these practices as a collective, in sacred space. Now is the time, as his son Emmanuel reminds us, “to put the teachings we have received into practice for the remainder of our days…to continue to gather as a community and to continue his work.”
Based on conversations with Atum following the 2023 Spiritual Guidance gathering at Hollyhock, this retreat is designed to weave these streams together, led by Margie Gillis, Kairn Carrington, Steven Flynn and Oriane Lee Johnston:
- Specially-selected audio recordings of Atum leading us in the practices.
- Movement practices with Margie to embody the states evoked by the practices and sustain them after we each return home.
- Kairn offers the collaborative work she and Atum had begun together, “Holding the Centre in The World Today”.
- Groups-of-four sharing on specially-selected themes and enquiries.
- Music; live performance, Atum’s favourite tunes and singing together.
The July gathering is a time to honour, reinforce and grow the sparks that Atum ignited in each one of us.
