Run, Run Fast as you can out of there; before you disrupt relationships with friends and family. I hate what Landmark has done to my loved one. They are very decieving, clever, and manipulative....Please get out now! I can't believe that companies actally hire them to inspire people. I am now a paranoid person about words like "transformation" Integrity", "empowering" they makes me defensive just hearing them now; because of what they have done to my loved one. Please if you want transformation, find faith in God instead its free! I know three people who have taken the stupid courses through Landmark.

From the date of your original post, you took the Forum one weekend after I did. I took mine in Orlando, FL the last weekend of Feb. 2010. I, too, had read many of the on-line detractors leading into my Forum, but knew that I was enough of a "big boy" to handle myself given any mind-control or hard-sales tactics, so I went in with an open, yet still critical, mindset. I had also promised my sister that I wouldn't sign up for any other courses during the entirety of the Forum (through the Tuesday night session)- she was wary. :-) Long story short, after just 27 hours of starting my Forum, during the first break on Saturday, nearly 30 years of angst, blame, and agitation towards my mother were completely eradicated. We had the best phone conversation we ever had about 12:15pm on Saturday Feb. 27, 2010. It's now coming up on 11 months later, and there's been no "back-sliding" whatsoever of my feelings or thoughts regarding her. I love her, period. In fact, I was just visiting her this past weekend and several times I thought about just how "crazy" I was before the Forum in how I thought about and treated her- so many years of waste!!! I believe many people's negative experiences with the Forum are because they do not want to or fail to do what I was finally able to do during my Forum- TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY LIFE!!! I saw that my mother had done nothing wrong at all, but I was still throwing my responsibility onto her. As you may recall during your Forum, accepting responsibility and being ultimately accountable are not normal modes of operation for us human folks- we always seem to have a "reason" for everything. :-) Now I've completed the Curriculum for Living and am looking to start the Introduction Leaders Program this spring. My continued involvement has not been a mindless, culty obedience to "sign up for the next course." After each course I've participated in, I've asked myself, "Did I receive tangible benefit from this program?" Every time- absolutely! The Landmark Forum is the first big step in "peeling" our personal onions. Specifically, the Forum removes that outer husk of the onion, freeing us up. Each successive program I've participated in (Seminar, Advanced Course, and Self Expression and Leadership Program) has been a continual peeling of my personal onion such that I am even freer now that I was 11 months ago- more love, peace of mind, and engagement with those around me. In all likelihood, NEVER would have occurred on my own. And, on the financial side of things, compared with other programs available, Landmark's offerings are dirt cheap. Thanks again for you post! Cheers! Big Mike, Melbourne, FL. Rachel,

I used to be a very long, deep, and drawn out communicator and realized that I cared way too much about what people thought of what I was saying, and if I was smart enough, assertive enough, etc. The Landmark Forum helped me to stop making myself wrong for everything. It has helped me to communicate with much smaller boundaries of my self expression. Anyone who calls it a cult needs to consider this; If it were a cult, why are they asking me to reconnect with people in my life that have become 'impossible' to communicate with. Don't cults actually do the opposite? Another thing to consider is, it is always easier to find negative feedback on a product or service than it is to find postive ones. This is due to our cynical outlook on life that that everyone is out to scam us. Most of us live our life with our heads on backwards and continue to make decisions based on our past. I no longer believe everything happens for a reason; it just happens, and that's fine with me. I no longer have to rack my brain trying to figure our who I screwed to have something happen to me like a flat tire on my way to an interview, or my furnace stops working on the coldest day of the year. It just happened, and the Landmark Forum teaches you not to create a story as to 'why' things happen. Unfotunately I am committed to something that will have me cut this short. I intend to be back to let you know what else I got out of the Landmark Forum. Cheers! I took both the Landmark Forum and the Advanced course in Toronto.

Perhaps written too soon and too close to the experience itself and the claim of objectivity is surprising. You can only give your opinion, your subjective 'take' on the Landmark Forum' course that you did. I am happy that you found it positive but many others do not. I am one of them. I also did the weekend Landmark Forum (in Ireland,in early 2010) and came to a different conclusion. The group work was impressive and certainly there are many positive, helpful things to be learnt, but the hard, relentless sell is wearisome, the jargon annoying and the philosophical foundations (Hegelian ontology?) very suspect. I am struck that a program for education elicits such extremist responses - either people call it a cult or support it unreservedly. Landmark Forum's thinking is such that it allows no opposition. Either you adopt the Landmark world view or you are judged negatively. Surely any approach that does not allow dialogue or questioning of its premises raises suspicions. Also, any educational program that evokes such strong and opposite responses should cause one to be cautious. For myself, I participated in the weekend course and the 10 week seminar that followed. The weekend course presented much that was useful, while the 10 week seminar on 'Integrity' was an unashamed effort to get us to recruit family members, friends or strangers on the street to Landmark Forum. The tactics used were disrespectful and lacked integrity in my view. There are lots of other seminars on offer and Landmark Forum graduates appear to enroll for course after course with like minded people. No doubt many are helped by Landmark Forum, but there is a cost! If a person is vulnerable or fragile in any way, this program is to avoided. Would I recommend Landmark Forum? No, I would not. Do I regret attending it? No, I do not! It was cheap for the money. Has it helped me? Very little! Did it deliver what it promised? No, it did not in my case.
