Would you like to start a TT Practice Group in your community? Want some help, support, advice? Call Sharon Buzik , Practice Group Coordinator @604 581 2404 Email: sbuzik@telus.net
Most groups meet monthly for 2 hours, often 7-9 p.m. Some groups have a small charge/donation if they have to pay for the location, but most are free. The usual format is a meditaton, then sharing TT news/events/ TT experiences/questions and giving and receiving a TT session. Generally groups have one person as a faciltator but it is a good idea to have a back up person as well. In some groups there is a short closing ceremony for peace. Often the group decides how they wish to develop.
