Landmark Education and the Landmark Forum

I just read a blog post from a woman, a yoga teacher, who takes part in Landmark Education’s assisting program, in which she tells why she takes part in this program even though she’s already done the Landmark Forum. I thought it was a fairly interesting take on why some people choose to do this:

I had fun at the forum yesterday:

I went to Montreal yesterday to be on the production team for the Landmark Forum. I had so much fun. As a yoga teacher, I work alone a lot of the time, and sometimes I long for a team. I miss the social interactions that come with “going to work.” So spending the day on a team in action satisfied some of that craving. I felt useful and got to do lots of different tasks and I like that.

My life goes better when I’m immersed in the “conversation” that happens during Landmark Education courses. I talk to my family more. I’m more relaxed. I get to remind myself to stop blaming other people or situations for why things are. It makes me feel more in control of my life and helps me see where I’ve been acting like a victim even though I know better.

Going back to the Forum is like getting more coaching. I’m not an athlete, but from what I’ve seen, most of them have coaches, even though they might not “need” them. Surely they’re better than their coaches in many cases. But they use a coach to help them see what they don’t. I use a personal trainer at the gym for education and motivation. It just works better that way for me. So taking a weekend workshop can be like getting some coaching in life.

Here’s a link back to this woman’s blog.
