Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this rite is held

This is what Terasem actually does, and it is worth stating plainly because groups of this kind are often written about without anyone checking whether they meet. They do: a gathering on the tenth of each month at ten in the morning Eastern time, held over Zoom, at which participants share art and poetry and discuss the movement's core concepts. Terasem calls it a satsanga, borrowing a Sanskrit term for a gathering in the presence of truth, and describes a wider calendar of daily connections, weekly self-reflection, quarterly holidays, an annual celebration and an assembly of all joiners every leap year. Attendance is by email invitation and the numbers are small. It is on this basis, and not on its literature, that Terasem is included on this site while the Turing Church is not.
