What it is: The Landmark Forum is the first course in the Landmark Education series of courses and workshops on personal transformation. Growth Potential: Great distinctions on how to communicate effectively, and how to address internal conflict. Pop Potential: Powerful tools that make it easy to hit a club or a dinner party and feel confident that you can talk to anyone in the room, life is meaningless, and it’s meaningless that it’s meaningless, so why not?
“Get Real” Potential: Anyone who thinks this isn’t a for-profit company has the kool-aid on I.V.. If Landmark was really out for the well being of every human on earth they’d be registered as a non-profit, their paychecks might have fewer zeros and the course might actually cost a reasonable amount.
What we got out of it: Honestly, Landmark has some interesting distinctions to share. If you can filter out some of the hard sell and pressure to get your friends to sign up, you’ll learn a lot about how to ask for help, how to identify when your past is creeping in on your present, and even how to just shift your thinking and take bigger steps in your daily life. A great “starter course” to begin your journey in personal growth.
I agree that this is a great starter course. When people ask me about the Forum, I reply that it feels like Buddhism for America. Many people I now already live their lives with Landmark ‘possibilities’ but for people who are new to the fact that they control their own destiny, it is a great place to start. I also alert anyone I know that when it’s time to sign up your friends, that’s a great time to go to the bathroom or have a silent meditation.
I completely agree. If you don’t notice the hard sell, then you probably drank the glass of kool-aid on the way in.
That said, the hard sell is almost the whole point. If you can get past it to the lessons, you’ve got a great first practice in getting past resistance to something deeper and more meaningful.
What Landmark really was for me, was a course on communication and how to catch myself listening for what I wanted to hear. When people talk to us, we tell ourselves stories as they talk. Landmark teaches some great distinctions in how to notice, catch, and stop those stories. From there, you can really start to know yourself and others without all that racket.
I’ve done some reading up recently on Landmark. They’re a for-profit company run by Werner Erhard’s (who sold EST’s technology to Landmark due to controversy) brother and other board members. They released financial statements a few years back and released information about how profits are dispensed (as dividends to employee-shareholders). I know that they’ve found that advertising doesn’t work for their program. I think a lot of the problem is the name, frankly, but that friend-to-friend referrals work amazingly. No wonder they put so much energy towards it…I think the real problem, though, is in mixing their ‘advertising’ with their courses…leaves people feeling icky and gives them such a bad reputation, it’s really too bad.
I don’t know whether you receive my comment or not. It just vanish without telling what’s going on. Here’s my comments again:

This leads to the idea of a women’s erogenous zones (places on the body, particularly sensitive to erotic touches): women are less inclined to focus on the genitals, and their body as a whole has a great potential sensual than men.
There are usually 3 types of offers by rate and duration: Purchase rate, teaser rate, and fixed life of loan rate.
