Trellis provides opportunities for fun, growth, friendship, spiritual seeking and personal transformation.  Our name comes from the garden: just as a trellis supports the vines, we are a framework for the blossoming of all of us, individual yet intertwined. We are an ever-growing extended community of love-in-action, aiming to serve the world unselfishly while having fun.

Trellis operated an intentional community in Norristown (near Philadelphia) between 2007 and late 2009, when we were shut down for zoning violations.  Our outside activities and service to the community (Mark groups etc) are continuing as we investigate the next stage of our lives.

Quotes

"The true test of your spiritual success is the happiness of the people around you."

-- Rudi


"When Love beckons follow him, though his ways are hard and steep...if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires...to know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love...to wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."

-- Kahlil Gibran


Throw away
Your begging bowls at God’s door

For I have heard the Beloved
Prefers sweet threatening shouts,

Something on the order of:

Hey, Beloved,
My heart is a raging volcano
of love for you!

You better start kissing me –
Or else!"

 -- Hafiz


"You don't need to get what you want if you can express what you want"

 


"The heart has its reasons that Reason knows not of."

 

 -- Blaise Pascal
