Tara’s Triple Excellence Practice Support Groups

We offer the opportunity to study, reflect, and meditate on the Introduction, First Excellence or Second Excellence together with fellow students. Ask questions, learn with others on the path, and explore the material together at a deeper level. Our daily study of the Triple Excellence’s meditations is in tandem with our fellow participants in the Practice Support Groups. The group of 8 to 12 meets twice a month with two facilitators, who are Third Excellence practitioners. Practice Support Groups provide an opportunity to experience the richness and support of the Sangha, the community of fellow practitioners.

This group practice is for you if you are…

  • Wishing to share your experience of TTE with others.
  • Needing help setting up your daily practice.
  • Looking for support that will keep you on track.
  • Wishing to meet and build stronger connections with other TTE participants.
