Landmarks
I made the rash promise some time ago that I would write something informative about Landmark Education and its courses. Rash because I find it difficult to sort through the myriad opinions and emotions that the subject evokes in me. Doing the forum and subsequent courses formed a significant part of probably the most transformative period of my life to date, albeit a period laced with other formative elements: graduation from university; many stages in a deep intimate relationship; drugs; my first (and to date only) full time job. You get the picture.
Anyhow in lieu of a deeper analysis than that, I commend this article by Traci Hukill. Whilst not particularly intellectual, her take on it just works for me.
it didn't make me think something was right with The Forum as much as it made me realize something is terribly wrong with the rest of the world. It's so sad, I thought, that the most intimate and intense experience these people have had is one they paid to have with a group of strangers. The more I think about it, the clearer it seems that too many people are cut adrift from the organic necessities of love, family and community. In an age when people leave their hometowns as a matter of course, the ties that bind are dissolving, and people are looking for pretty new ribbons to replace the old familiar cords.
