I have taken a few different personal development seminars and have received value from pretty much all of them. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Landmark Forum. Prior to attending, I had heard mixed reviews about Landmark, but there are mixed views about just about everything on the web so I figured I would give it a try. Critical thinking was prohibited. No one was given the opportunity to voice any other opinions and when they did, they were ridiculed, cut off and berated. Many cried. We were told we were broken, trapped and there was nothing we could do and nothing would ever get better for us. That the only way was through "transformation" that only landmark could provide. Half the course was literally sales training on how to recruit others for the program and whoever didn't do this, was not living for others and would never achieve "transformation". When we were not being told and trained to sign others up, we were told that the only way for lasting transformation was to sign up for the advanced course and the rest of the curriculum. So, if you want to spend $900 to recruit and grow their organization, then sign up. If not, you may want to pass. Oh and unlike almost all other personal development programs, there is a no refund policy. That should have been a red flag.

A friend paid for me to attend. Reminded me of a mixture of tactics from my time as a Jehovah’s Witness where they create group coercive peer pressure and pulpit bullying for those who don’t comply or challenge what’s on stage. For individuals with trauma pasts, their curriculum will actively seek out retraumatization as evidence of the powerfulness of their lesson plan. It's morally irresponsible. You may get an emotional high from participating, but I imagine that has more to do with the effective emotional manipulation tactics they employ through isolating you from outside connection for hours at a time, abusive withdrawal for lack of compliance, and intense group acknowledgement and rewards during compliance. It may add value for some people but I look back at how I felt and things I felt pushed into while there and actively cringe. They actively cheapen it by continuously making overtures for sales of additional products at the end of the seminar while actively requiring you to bring a friend to graduation on the fourth day where they’ll get a special discount for joining. They actively ask people to hide uncomfortable things during that last session to show others how great their time was. Everything about this place is a red flag.

This is the most weird event I’ve ever been to. I feel sorry for the poor souls who come here for a “breakthrough .” The head lecturer plays mind games and there’s clearly plants in the audience who they choose to insult. I was invited to this place by my sister and wasted money coming here.

Horrible experience! I attended the landmark forum which is their foundational course. And I left angry! They do such a good job taking advantage of people who feel hopeless, lonely, and helpless so they take the full curriculum of courses (which is worth probly thousands of dollars on total) and then pressure them to convince their friends to attend as well. It's immoral that they exploit your past trauma, make you almost addicted to the way they teach you only to have you to come back for more classes. The forum leader also pulpit punishes any non-compliant behaviors and peer coerces you to buy more of their courses! It felt like Nazi for me! It's no wonder people say it's a cult. I feel sorry for the employees and volunteers working for landmark. They are the ones being brainwashed and taken advantage of while some fat cats are collecting huge immoral checks!

The Landmark Forum and Advanced Course are easily the best investments I have ever made in myself over a decade ago. Complete Gamechanger! The education taught me to take 100 percent responsibility for my life and there is freedom and fulfillment in being able to access that anytime I want. Landmark created a safe immersive experience for me to realize who I am at my core as someone who can make a difference in the world as a bold leader... and to be honest I have been unstoppable as that since I took the Forum in 2003. You will not regret it. Millions of people around the world have done the Forum and have gone on to share how it beats everything else. Just do it!

Life changing experience! I took a variety of courses at Landmark over the past three years and I've seen a drastic transformation in my finances, social life, and family relationships. The instructors here are doing remarkable work, bringing families back together and healing to those affected by traumatic events. I've used what I've learned at Landmark every day to help produce results in my life. I always meet the finest people at Landmark-people who are goal-oriented, caring, and looking to make a difference in the world.

This is a personal development program like no other. When I first was told about this place I thought it was a lot of hype smoke and mirrors but after experiencing the Forum and having such a remarkable breakthrough in my life that nothing else has been able to do I am so happy I came. This is not a cult. Anyone who says that lacks the understanding of what a cult is. Cults take you away from your family and isolate you so that you can be conditioned with some ideal. Landmark brings you closer to your family as you are with a clearer view of who YOU are not any ideal or agenda. There is no religion no agenda just plain old looking at your life and learning tools to help you recognize what you do to stop yourself so you can transform it. When you are ready to succeed in your life by exposing your blindspots so you can make them vanish and be an unstoppable force you come here. You will experience a freedom you never had before and life will be seen with the blinders off for the first time. You will be closer to your family and learn to recognize yourself from both the inside and outside perspective so that you are clear on how to be the best of you there can be. If you participate in the various programs you will just strengthen your own personal development and although it seems hard to believe they can do this in a weekend it really does happen. I have seen complete introverts come out the weekends as a confidant smiling and unstoppable leader. I have seen so many powerful transformations. Personally in my forum I was able to overcome a phobia I had all my life. I built a biy

Not sure I have the words to describe how much of a cult and horrific the experience was here. I got 10+ phone calls from random numbers when I decided to leave early telling me to come back immediately. They tried to block the exit and stood in the back of the room going up to anyone who looked like they were about to leave. Whatever you said they replied with “is that so or is that a story you’re telling yourself?.”

Completing The Landmark Forum was one of the best experiences of my life. It's completely transformed my life, particularly my relationships with others and with myself. My life was pretty darn awesome when I registered into The Forum. It's downright magical since I completed it.

Don’t believe the negative feedback writers - this forum is not easy to understand, especially if it’s not completed. This is not a waste of money, but, personally for me, the best investment in my life. This is not a scam, they teach the right technique to live and see this world. If you’re deciding to save money, first ask someone who attend the forum to get you a free invite for some course, and they might help you out.

The most important gift anyone can give to themselves in life. Unfortunately, many of those writing angry reviews are probably angry about everything in life. In the Forum you get the real deal, and some people don't want to deal with the real deal. My whole family has taken the Forum and our family is unrecognizable. My business and peace of mind is unrecognizable as well.

I took the Landmark forum and it turned my way to see and act in this world forever. I stopped complaining about life at all. I became very responsible. My family and gf relationships just shifted in a good way on the second day of the Forum. Later in a few months I took Advanced course and it expanded even more. I fixed all relationships with my ex-es, my people from black list. I am a working productive machine now, also. I set promises to myself and I complete them all. And proud of it. So sadly to see here bad reviews from those who even did not try the Landmark, but just were invited and built a wall of... prejudice and blocked everything. I’m so sorry about the non-acceptors, sorry that they are gonna live the rest of their lives complaining and blaming everything around. So, if you were invited by someone, just try it out. You can always say no though.

Learned a lot. But they don’t practice anything they preach. I challenge landmark to clean up your streets before you preach anyone, look at the homeless crowd right in front of your NY office from last sever years, nothing had been done by landmark or anyone. Shame on you

It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life, takes you from stuck to free in 3 days, who else can boast of such quick success and with the low fees they have? Don’t get sucked in the negative reviews by people who haven’t done the program, peoples who’s lives changed due to the program don’t have time to fight those reviews as they are busy making success in the world. It took me 2 years to write this and I can’t start telling you what I’ve been up to in the last 2 years. Do it, it won’t cost you much, but not doing it might cost you living an Amazing life.

Wow. Transformation is real. I can't list enough how many aspects of my life are working now thanks to landmark. I was great before landmark. Now I'm (my life is) extraordinarily

I prepaid for a landmark service a couple of years ago and decided not to take the course due to an unexpected expense. They did not refund me the money for the course. I finally realized i can take them to court for it, and they finally refunded me 5 years later after they realized it was going into public records. They have not apologised for the unneeded stress they put on me and my family. This is incredibly dishonest and greedy behavior. I had a hunch what they teach is useless since the person that recommended it has gained an additional 30 pounds since shes done the courses.

I really enjoy my experience at Landmark. It's helped my career out, my relationships, and ultimately has helped me forgive myself and everyone else around me. Thank you Landmark for creating the biggest difference in my life out of all of the self development programs I have ever been a part of.

I attended the Landmark Forum this past weekend after a close friend invited me to what seemed to be an emotional intelligence training. The first day was ok- lot’s of new concepts and mind frameworks which were new to me. But day two involved all sorts of sales pitches, petty hour long nagging because 26 people did not sign up to more training, the facilitator blatantly and unapologetically calling the audience “rats” even though we expressed that it was landing the wrong way, and many instances of mental abuse to vulnerable participants. However, the drop that tipped the glass for me was when one of the volunteers called me a “criminal” several times after I expressed that I would be running a bit late after dinner. When I tried to leave they blocked the exit door and after I pushed through to leave they had people chasing me down the hall and all the way into the bathroom. I’ve never felt more harassed in my life and would hate for anyone else to feel that way. It is completely unacceptable. After doing some research I discovered that other people have had similar experiences and looking back I wish I did more research before signing up.

A course that begin one to live an enlightened and fulfilled life. And one that make a positive difference to myself, others and life itself. 1,000 likes.
