Hello, everyone! I am new to this forum; what brought me here was concern over some of my family members becoming involved in Beyond Your Best here in Indiana.
I haven't been able to find much information about this group that is not self-produced, which concerns me in itself. The founder, Jim Zarvos, claims to have trained personnel at many large corporations (American Express, Eli Lilly, Burger King, etc.), yet I can not find a single article in a newspaper or business publication about this fellow?!
The seminars (Breaking Through, The Journey, Vision In Action) are very expensive; Breaking Through parts I & II (2 weeks) are a whopping $1295.00. One family member that attended Breaking Through I told me what it consisted of, and, yes, it IS a classic Large Group Awareness Training cult: breaking people down, redefining words, marathon trainings, and so on.
In conclusion, I am curious if there's anything I can do to expose this as what it is before this man moves to his next location, leaving his devotees poor and confused. Below are some of the websites I found relating to Zarvos:
