This blog post comes from a woman from New York City in the United States, who describes her experience of taking the Landmark Forum. I think her post/Landmark Forum review is notable for two things: it points out how ridiculous some of the negative things you can find about Landmark Education on the web really are, and it also expresses what I would describe as one woman’s profound gratefulness to be alive and create what she wants with the rest of her life. Here is some of NYC Mama’s post:
So Grateful
So, this past week has been filled with a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. My birthday and the day after left me feeling a bit ‘blah”, to tell the truth, and I was worried I was getting a case of the Birthday Blues. Luckily for me in the beginning of May I had signed up to do the Landmark Forum the weekend after my birthday. It was truly, aside from having my son, the most transformative experience I have ever had. I was a bit skeptical going into it, because when you Google the Landmark Forum you get all this “cult” stuff about them. I can understand that though, I mean, Christianity, Islam, even Buddhism were all cults when they started out because their perspective was so radically different from what was being taught at the time. The thing is, one of the closest people in my life to me did the Forum in April and I saw with my own two eyes the positive change it had on her. I knew then I didn’t really have anything to lose anyway; I’m way too level-headed to get sucked up into drinking Jim Jones’ Kool-Aid. She assured me that it was nothing like that, and she too is one of the most practical and level-headed people I know. She had become so free from all the tension and negative intensity that had ruled her life for so long after the Forum. She seemed so much more peaceful and contented, still her, but like a Her 2.0 version of herself, lol. The changes in her were so pleasant and positive.
By the time I signed up, I was in desperate need of a pleasant and positive change.
It’s not a very easy experience to describe, except to say that it transforms the way you look at yourself, your past, and your life. Indeed, life in general. I feel free in a way I haven’t since childhood. I have been given the gift of a release from the burdens of the past to create my life and my future. What a gift. Happy Birthday to me!
