Join a vibrant spiritual community in locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Washington DC, New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area, Virginia, and even internationally in Ireland. Whether you are new to the path or a seasoned seeker, you’re welcome to participate in meaningful conversations and spiritual fellowship.

TAT also hosts four spiritual retreat weekends each year, featuring talks, group discussions, meditation sessions and other activities, as well as time to relax and meet new friends.

Gainesville, Florida
Meeting at the Alachua County main library on Saturdays from 2 to 4 PM. We talk with newcomers about the objective of the group as a forum to stimulate the progress of self-inquirers and we ask them what their most heartfelt life-objective is, and then we usually listen to each volunteer who wants to talk and then be questioned about what they’ve said.
~ Email Nathan or Art for more information.
GMT Support Group for Seekers
Meeting every Sunday gmt 18.30, live on Google Meet. Rapport and confrontation, talk and exchange. Someone mostly brings a theme, like a text, poem or whatever to set the mood. Then 10 minutes of silent rapport after which everyone gets their turn on the “hot seat” for 10-15 minutes—the group listens to what the person has to say about the theme then asks friendly questions—depending on how many participants. The questioning aims at providing material for self-inquiry.
~ Currently on hold, but if you’re interested contact Topi.

This is a self inquiry based group with a Meetup platform to help to benefit from a flow of new people. We meet most Wednesdays.

New York City
What is enlightenment? Do you exist? What are thoughts? We meet every Monday to delve into our beliefs about topics of this nature and others related to the spiritual search. We do this by questioning one another via a practice known as confrontation. We aim to serve as mirrors for each other, to see ourselves more clearly, in a group dynamic, within a safe environment. We meet every Monday at 6:15 PM ET at 180 Maiden Lane in Manhattan, a public atrium. Email nycselfinquiry@gmail.com with questions.

Email Self-Inquiry Group (women’s)
The Women’s Online Confrontation group consists of weekly reports where participants can include:
> What is on your mind?
> Any projects that you want to be held accountable for?
> Responses to a selected excerpt (in the previous report).
> Comments/responses/questions for other participants.
A philosophical/spiritual excerpt with two or three questions is included in each report. Based on what we share, participants ask questions to help get clarity about our thinking. The intention is to help each other see our underlying beliefs about who we are.
~ Contact Anima for more information.
Email Self-Inquiry Group (men’s)
We continue to have two men’s email groups active. The weekly reports function like slow-motion self-inquiry confrontation meetings, which has its pros and cons. We alternate by asking each other questions one week then answering them the following week. Participants provide brief updates of highlights from the previous week and optional updates on progress toward objectives that they use the reports for accountability on.
~ Contact Art for more information.
