QuoteLoelaAnd why do you need her in/around your group... or do you? She's a great singer, ideally suited to the role she plays in my group. It would not be easy to replace her with someone else just as good.

The singer in my band is now an employee of Landmark. Curiously, she hasn't been at all agressive with me to enroll, although she has again, for the first time since a year ago, invited me to an introduction. I suspect that she hasn't badgered me about enrolling because about a year before she got started with Landmark I told her my entire Lifespring story. I find that I don't quit

For the last eleven years I've made my living teaching the Feldenkrais Method (in Manhattan). My clients include all sorts of people, including performing artists, seniors, people who have had strokes, children with speech difficulties, people with chronic pain, and many others. The Feldenkrais Method is taught in two modes: Awareness Through Movement (for groups), in which the instructor gi

I wrote about my current concern here: I can wait for Senior Member status. It's just that the internet has accustomed me to instant response, so anything less than that feels like a long time.

Are the messages of senior members posted only after approval by a moderator, or are they posted without such approval? If the latter, when do I get to be a senior member? I'd like to see my posts show up as soon as I submit them.

Has anyone had any experience with Asiaworks? I recognize the names of many former Lifespring trainers among its trainers. I do not see any mention of Lifespring in the biographies.

Jeff Cosby ran at least one of my Leadership Program weekends when I was in Lifespring in Wasington, DC, in the mid 80's.

Quotefoodguypdxconcernefriend, do you find yourself doing this. Questioning your friends communication and it's possible hidden meaning? foodguypdx I do. A few months ago the singer left the band for several reasons, all of which I understood. A few weeks later she told me she wanted to get back in, because during her first Landmark weekend she realized that she had a habit that includ

Thanks, sonnie_dee. I look forward to having my messages posted without awaiting approval. I do understand that some people would disrupt this forum if approval wasn't required. I now see the thread I started, but for a few hours it seemed to have disappeared. One of the messages I posted in that thread today is now viewable, but there is another one that is not. I hope that it is awaitin

I joined this forum just yesterday and have noticed that none of my posts are posted until approved by a moderator. I also noticed that a thread that I started and to which others have contributed is unviewable (the entire thread) now that I have added another message. Is this the usual practice here? I think that communication would be facilitated by posting messages without approval of a modera

QuoteeagleThanks...I've picked up the books Cults in Our Midst and Outrageous Betrayal. Any other recommendations on books? I highly recommend "Seductive Poison" by Deborah Layton, who tells of her entry into the cult of Jim Jones, her rising through the ranks to eventually manage his money, and her ultimate escape. The book reads like a great thriller, and I hope it will be made

Quotecaligari I would like to suggest that the idea of we all create our own arbitrary "story" is not correct. Most healthy people determine and judge correctly the meaning of past events to their values and purposes. That the stories or structure of memories people have for the most part have accurate meaning for their current situation and future. The idea of subjective, arbitrary

foodguypdx, thank you for the welcome and thank you for the suggestions. I will keep the conversations light, and I will cetainly do my best to be a friend. I think back to my time in Lifespring and wonder whether anyone could have said anything to me that would have gotten me to see that I was in a cult. I rather doubt it. There were a few times through my three years that I did have serious fea

I just found this forum and am glad I did. I was in Lifespring from 1985 through 1988. I did the Basic, Advanced, Leadership, Masters, Sexuality, and Abundance and Prosperity courses. I staffed the basic, advanced courses, and Masters courses. Almost every month I interviewed graduates of the Basic course to guide them into the Advanced course. During those three years almost the only thing I wou
