"A spot on earth upon which to meet. A homing ground...." ~ R. Rose
As of October 2020, improvements continue at the TAT Center in North Carolina, and we look forward to the day we begin hosting on-site events.
The list of milestones achieved is long, and many thanks are due to the more than 200 people whose generousity brought us to this point. From $5.00 donations to spending weekends swinging a hammer, the contributions are as varied as those who consider themselves friends of TAT. Please consider joining this select group dedicated to making a home for spiritual inquiry and pursuit of Truth.
We still need your help to secure the future for meeting and retreats at the TAT Center.

Details of the TAT Center:
- In Hurdle Mills, North Carolina, only 35 minutes from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
- Situated on a beautiful 10-acre site, with a separate 5-acre parcel upon which another structure could be built in the future.
- Has a 5-bedroom, 5-bath home, with a third floor converted to sleeping areas, and a large garage converted into a main meeting space.
- Bob Fergeson is the “teacher in residence” – which offers exciting possibilities for the property beyond the quarterly TAT meetings.
The Purpose:
- Provide a place for TAT's four yearly conferences.
- Provide a space for members and friends to spend time on retreats.
- Provide a place for TAT members to hold group events.
- Create a center for people to live for an extended period.
