TTP (The Trading Tribe
Process) is a collection of educational methods for personal growth.
In response to many
inquiries about the hands-on specifics of TTP, Ed Seykota presents occasional workshops.
A TTP Workshop is an interactive
seminar, with some theory and mostly practice,
for participants who are willing to commit to getting great results in their
lives - and to assisting others to get great results in theirs.
Participants come
to realize
that their daily activities are primarily ritualistic, dramatic and addictive in nature and
otherwise contribute little toward right-livelihood.
Meanwhile, a few
activities, many of them subtle and unconscious, determine success and happiness.
One of the intentions
of this workshop is to assist each participant to identify, celebrate and share
his own special gifts. Another is to identify and reduce the level of unproductive
drama.
Sometimes the entire workshop
meets as a whole for discussions and check-ins. Other
times it breaks into smaller work-groups.
This workshop does not
provide psychological therapy. None of the presenters have licenses
or training to perform therapy, and no one intends or attempts to conduct
therapy.
If you are currently in therapy, please confirm prior to applying
for admission, that attending this workshop is consistent with the course of
your particular therapy.
TTP is an educational
method, and the goal of TTP is to gain personal insights (AHA's) by encouraging
an alliance between the conscious and subconscious minds.
