I have been spending time trying to make sense of my LGAT experience (mine was New Era Trainings in Concord California, a offspring of Lifespring ) I have learned a lot from this forum, but something I have not read a lot about is about "coaching" . It sounds like LGATS use unpaid volunteer "graduates" to do the dirty work of dealing with new recruits. A big part of th

For those of you taking the second level of New Era Trainings "REALIZE", and also for those who have friends or family in REALIZE. Most of you will feel amazing this weekend.

Other threads about New Era Tranings are in the culteducation.com forum. This one entitled "Concord California LGAT" looks very informative. Here are a few good points, it rings true. I wish I had read it all. "I hope your friend is'nt in the LP (ACT) program. If so he is in deep. Hell be taken away from his job with phone calls all day long from either his buddy

Looke at this posting from 1993 posted under the Rick Ross Lifespring archive. A detailed account of the first 5-day training session for an unnamed LGAT. This sounds just like New Era.

Hello, I want to bump this thread. It does not look like people have discussed New Era Trainings from Concord California in a few years. Is there anyone else out there with anything to share? I am trying to make sense of my own experience. -wamback
