I guess most of the organisations discussed here are international, as, thank heaven, is the web - otherwise we wouldn't have these forums! So physical location isn't particularly significant. However, you might look at who are based in UK and run by Ian Howarth. Also there's Graham Baldwin at Catalyst - don't think they have a website though.

Has anyone had experience of Amanae? I've done the usual net search and there is not a lot out there. Their website is 'Frequencies of Brilliance' looks as if it is part of the same organisation. Their UK 'practitioner' is based at the Findhorn Community in Scotland - a real New Age community. An advert for a week-long Amanae course in Belgium, costing over

The poster transcribed below was on display at my local psychotherapy and counselling centre. Its language, and the fact that one of the presenters worked with the Mankind Project set off some bells. Does anyone know about this organisation, Deida or Buren and Levin? Note the warning at the end. Are you living your deepest purpose as a man? Join us in a space of creative challeng

My wife was/is involved with Sunrider. It is a typical ‘herbal products’ MLM like Herbalife. Take a look at: for more material on the organisation and its founders. And for general information on MLMs. Sunrider have a fairly standard MLM business model where the vast majority of distributors don’t make money, though I know one or two who do (as an adjunct to their activiti

The only way you will be what your roommate wants you to be is to join Landmark. You say you can't do that. Good for you - stay strong. She says she is happier than she has ever been (I guess), and cannot understand why you can't share that happiness. She has no reason to think of leaving or any understanding of why you think she should. 'That's your problem'. She i

Oz Good luck. I’ve admired your calmness and perception, and shared your hurts. There is a future, and I hope you can find a good one with your loved one. I’m sure you will, given time. Doesn’t every day seem an eternity when you are in the midst of what you so elegantly describe as a ‘unique pain of the heart and soul’? It’s sad that you say you are resented. Perhaps this is something y

You said ‘What I hate is the chocolate/vanilla choice thing though. It made me into an impulsive bad decision maker.’ I’m not surprised – and it is not your fault. That exercise isn’t about ‘deciding’ or ‘choosing’ or ‘letting go’. It is about making you give up your logical thought processes and past experience. We learn throughout our lives, from teaching and the things that happen to us

Daniel Thank you for sharing your feelings here and your enthusiasm for your recent Landmark experience, which I think I understand. It’s probably my fault, but I can’t work out what you mean when you say ‘I take full responsibility for the fact that some people may think Landmark is a Cult.’ That last one is a particularly strong word and I wonder why you use it? As you say you are a r
