The Five Best Workshops

The Artist’s Way with Julia Cameron. It really helped me to find out that I would never be happy if I left my creative talents locked up in guilt and fear. - Gwyneth

Trust Your Vibes with Sonia Choquette. Life altering. - Kate

Understand Men with Allison Armstrong. It profoundly altered my relationship with each of the men in my life~ lover, friends, ex husband, employees, my dad… I had no idea what I didn’t know about men. I have since been experiencing a deeper appreciation of men, enjoyment of being a woman and growing in to the potential of this awareness, not only my personal life, but also the profound impact of how choosing harmony could heal our planet - Kim

Living Your Vision with Fran Fisher. My most prized experience is LIVING YOUR VISION. Clarifying values, distilling essence, and crafting a master plan in a collective and supportive group left all of us with dreams to be realized, clarity-clarity-clarity, friends and confidantes and bonds that will last a lifetime.  - Deborah

Landmark It was pivotal. I am constantly using what I learned in family, work and even in recreational pursuits. I am transforming a multi - billion dollar corporation with what I was given. Very powerful. I got on track. - Don

Five years ago I took The Forum from Landmark Education. It helped in many areas of my life, including my personal relationships. I thought it would be helpful to share the highlights of my experience.

Five Ways Landmark Education Impacted My Life

1. Landmark Means Leaving your Past Behind

   Before Landmark Education I experienced the world based on my past experiences, many of which I considered disappointing. After Landmark Education I create my life based on what is possible - versus my past. This was was revolutionary for me. I remember sitting in my chair and feeling years of criticism and judgment drop away. That little voice in my head saying I was worth less than my twin sister…I let that go. I was moved, touched and inspired to create my life. My past did not define me.

2. Landmark and Confident Communication

   I learned to communicate more clearly and powerfully. I gained confidence in expressing my concerns and I am more comfortable resolving issues personally and in business. Sometimes I feel nervous but I don’t let fear stop me. I would rather live in a few moments of discomfort in order to create a greater ease and momentum.

3. What is Your Story? Victim or Victorious?

   There is a difference between fact and “story.” What do you receive from constantly complaining about something? We get to be right and make someone else wrong. As long as we can blame someone else for our disconnected relationships, shitty jobs and weight issues we don’t take responsibility. This was monumental for me, I realized how much drama I had attached to my stories and although some were truly traumatic, I left the Landmark Forum without a heavy story weighing me down. I was committed to leading a more authentic life.

4. Your Word Is Your Wand

   Be accountable to my word, for the sake of honouring myself - not out of fear of criticism, or looking bad, or disappointing my father. Doing what you say you’re going to do is a way off self respect, and you learn that you can depend on yourself.

5. What Is, Is.

   Complaining about the weather is futile. The weather just is.
