MOVED TOUCHED AND INSPIRED
This is not an official Landmark Education website.
This site has been created by an international group of Landmark Education Graduates who are inspired by the opportunity to make a difference in the world. From our perspective, the whole point is making a difference. Everyone has an innate desire to make their own unique contribution in life. In the Landmark Forum and through the Landmark Education’s other courses, people not only get in touch with that unique contribution, they take action on it.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT
We collaborate on this website to celebrate the difference being made around the globe by these people, their projects as well as Landmark Education. We find news items from around the world about these projects and the people who created them so that they are available all in one place.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT LANDMARK EDUCATION AFTER ALL?
Many people who have participated in the Landmark Forum are very enthusiastic about the course. People from all over the world have done the Landmark Forum and in fact Landmark Education has offices in more than 20 countries around the world. Over 1.3 million people have participated in the Landmark Forum since 1991 and over 100,000 people participate in Landmark Education’s courses each year. It can be argued that the popularity of the Landmark Forum is due to the way that it gets people to take action on the things that are important to them. While participating in the Landmark Forum people have a chance to clean up messes in their relationships with the people they care about. All of us have people in our lives that we care about and in the Landmark Forum people are given a chance to celebrate and get a new appreciation for those people. When people come out of the Landmark Forum, they want to share that with people. From our perspective, that alone would not have been enough to create this website. As far as we see it, the really exciting and inspiring thing about Landmark Education is that beyond the Landmark Forum people use the courses to make a difference in the lives of other people. As an organization, Landmark Education is not perfect but it does give people the power to express what is important to them. The 1.2 million people who have done courses with Landmark Education over the years come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Ordinary people who have not just gotten in touch with the things that they care about, but have gotten into action. In that way, this website is an explanation of what the big deal is about Landmark Education. The Landmark Forum and the other courses of Landmark Education may not be for everyone, but each of us has something to contribute in life. This website is a celebration of and a spot light upon some of those contributions.

I took the course this weekend (and stayed to the end!).
My day-after impression is that it was a new vocabulary for an old set of distinctions.
Landmark has shifted the conversation from the “mind” to the “brain” and plugged in some new scientific discoveries about how the brain works. Taking off from that, they have developed a newer language or set of terms (“specialized terms”) that, strung together, create a “network” which forms the basis of the “conversation domain” which gives access to creating a new future. Really nice and it would be essential for transformation if one hadn’t already done the work of EST and/or the Forum. But having done both, I found that the basic principles were the same and the methodology also very similar, with predictable excellent (but not unique) results.
A very exciting new word is “Bracketing,” which defines the action of putting aside (bracketing) your preconceived notions, which action then allows you to see through to a new “way of being-way of acting” in response to your perceived “occurrences.”
All-in-all, I stayed awake and engaged and had few judgments (fewer than I expected). I did notice that the shares were the same as always (“I’m working on growing my business”, “I‘m looking for a meaningful relationship”, “I want to make a difference,” etc. etc.). The participants had a way about them that I found off-putting: they did a lot of WooooWooooing that I though childish and inappropriate, but I guess that was a form of full self-expression that an old man just doesn’t relate to.
Was it worth $500? Actually, I would say ‘yes’ (which surprises me to say) and I am looking forward to letting it impact me… you’re never too old or too smart/experienced to find improvement opportunities. Even an old EST-hole may learn new tricks.
