Richard Rose was so disheartened with the phony teachers he encountered in his years of searching that he pledged to help seekers if he ever found an ultimate perspective. That pledge led him to develop the Albigen System. Common-sensible and practical, these principles and practices have helped thousands.
The April 2009 weekend intensive offers an in-depth look at the wisdom, principles, and practices of Richard Rose's system. You will have the opportunity to meet, hear, and speak with students of Richard Rose and others who found answers in whole or in part through his methods. As well, there will be the opportunity to experience some of the core practices of the Albigen System, such as confrontation. Through a mix of talks, discussions, and exercises, you can experience a spirit of friendship that will bring inspiration and renewed determination to find answers to your deepest questions. And much like Richard Rose's approach, the teachings impose no oaths, dogmas, rituals, or onerous fees on the participants, asking only for your sincerity and fellowship. This year's conference takes place on April 18 & 19, beginning at 10 AM Saturday and going through Sunday evening.
Event Schedule
Sunday, April 19th, 2009
What does it mean to help others? How does "helping" accelerate a seeker's progress on the spiritual
path? All too often, we enthusiastically follow a spiritual path of self inquiry and embrace the rigors of
self discipline. Yet, we often sidestep the need to work with fellow seekers, perhaps avoiding others who
hold differing viewpoints. Paul's presentation will examine the ultimate friendship, its place in Richard
Rose's three-fold path, and the perils faced by the solitary seeker.

What Is the TAT Foundation?
A group encouraging people to think rather than believe. A group determined to help people find ways and means to answer their deepest philosophical questions. A gathering of folks who are not afraid to be honest with one another. An island of hope and sanity (or at least the hope for sanity!). Last, but not least, TAT is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization chartered in 1973.
