Why Reform Landmark?

Landmark and 'transformation' have enormous potential to improve the experience of life. I have seen and experienced the incredible difference that Landmark graduates can make in their families, communities, and beyond, and I would love for more people to have the positive experience that so many have had in the Curriculum for Living.

Although Landmark has constructed effective means of access to transformation (such as the Landmark Forum and Advanced Course) , Landmark is not achieving its potential as a vehicle for spreading transformation and remains relatively unknown and not broadly appreciated in larger society. The vast majority of people, including those in cities with local Landmark centers, are either unaware of the organization or do not have a sufficiently positive image of Landmark or its impact that they take action through Landmark to gain access to transformation. Even more inhibiting to the spread of transformation, many who consider or participate in Landmark have a negative impression of the organization and choose to drop out or not participate to begin with. Consider that this is not merely a matter of marketing, but a result of the fundamental structure and methodology of Landmark today.

Those who consider Landmark but do not take it on are not resistant to living powerfully, to living a life they love, or having great, loving relationships. The reason that many people don't get to the good stuff is that Landmark itself is or appears to be rather closed, odd, suspicious, cult-like and/or otherwise intimidating to the outsider. Consider the cost of Landmark failing to reach all those people and all who they in turn could touch and so on. Then consider the possibility of Landmark itself transforming into an open, inviting, and [put your own words here] organization that is clearly trustworthy, good, and worthwhile to join.

The goal of reforming Landmark is to change the structures and practices that create negative perceptions about Landmark and are unnecessary for the access to and sharing of transformation. The experience of transformation will be accessible to many more millions when Landmark itself reforms into an open and extraordinarily effective engine of education and transformation.

Hi ML,

Great blog. I got told about it by Derek, who I worked together on teamleadership.org and mylandmarkforum.com. Feel free to check out what I've written about your blog at nealeu.blogspot.com. It's linked to from the above two sites.

All the best,

Neale
