Landmark Education

Back in May my friend Fiona told me about a course she had done called 'Landmark Forum'. She described how it had improved her relationship with her partner, children and family. I was curious, how could a 3 day course change her life in such a profound way? Fiona had traveled to London to do her course but knew that there was going to be a course running in August. I went along to an introductory evening and found the methodology interesting. One basic principle is that we think that we are living into the future, after we plan for holidays, career, home etc. However the Landmark view is that we are actually constrained by the past to such an extent that we don't actually see it. The exercise I did in the Intro session made this very clear. I was curious enough to take the plunge and do the course. After all, what did I have to lose except 3 days of my life and £295?

Fast forward to August 2006,I've done the Landmark Forum and WOW!! Landmark promises that you will be transformed after you do the course - and they certainly deliver. I left after the 3rd day feeling euphoric and with the certain knowledge that it was entirely within my power to have and create an amazing life. It's not just positive thinking or great speeches, you are taught skills and a methodology that you can use everyday to make the idea of an amazing life a reality.
