Let’s face it: It’s not easy to practice in a vacuum. Although many Integral practices can be performed alone, a community of practice enriches the process. Participating in a spiritual community can provide a caring network of accountability and support. Sometimes when we change, it is only when we experience ourselves in a new way in our group setting that the change becomes known to us as fully real and believable.
 Because explicitly Integral consciousness is so new, most sanghas, or “communities of practice,” are traditional. More and more people are forming groups explicitly interested in Integral Life Practice.
