"This is a cult lmao. Can't speak to this location specifically but my friend almost got recruited in NYC. It's like Scientology"

"I participated in the Forum back in 1987. It was the best gift of power in my life. I opened up my own business and ran it successfully for 31 years. I am retired and doing well. All the seminars and courses I took contributed to my well being in every way. It helped me choose the boundaries and open doors that made an impact on my everyday living. I did a lot of things in my life and the program was a coaching guide I applied in every area of my life. I highly recommend it. In fact it's the best program I ever took in my life and even though it's over 30 years since I have participated, the insight and distinctions have never left me but have been there available to me all those years. Just do it."

"A close friend of mine brought me to the night where they can bring guests and recruit people. I felt extremely pressured to join; multiple people came up to me and stared at me for a long time and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I literally got guided to a table to sign up. "Just do it, just do it, come on!" someone said repeatedly. My palms were sweating and I wanted to run away but I couldn't. I'm not very good at saying no so I signed up. Doing it wasn't terrible, except that it took up all 3 days and was a huge time commitment. It was amazing hearing everyone's stories and the person directing it was super nice and influential. But looking back now, it hasn't really change anything for me permanently. It's really what you make of it and I honestly did not think it was worth my money. I wasn't working at the time so I had no income to support this. The friend who brought me lent me the money which was very nice but it was still a huge financial burden for me. It didn't seem like they cared about that and just wanted me to sign up regardless saying oh I'll find a way no matter what. I did meet wonderful people and did create great memories, but the pressure of forcing me to join is what keeps bringing me back and making me angry. They also tried pressuring me to do the advanced course but I didn't allow myself to fall into again. Overall, I don't doubt the Forum has good intentions. The people you will meet and the stories you will hear will move you if you open your heart and remain open-minded. It was a good experience at the time but I personally didn't gain anything for the long-run. Be cautious for what you sign up for."

"Very inspiring and made a huge difference in my life. I got a full scholarship to a prestigious music school, attended college at age 14, found the woman of my dreams, and made huge professional and financial breakthroughs that more than made up for the cost of the programs. Highly recommended. I haven’t participated in a while, and yet the effects of the work I did here are still felt strongly in my life and in the lives of people I am connected with."

"It offers some good tools and “strategies” for life and acceptance of past events but if you notice what’s really occurring it’s a bit disturbing. Those who take it to the extreme level will take no responsibility for their behaviors and deflect everything when you ask them about it. They manipulate the situation and turn it around on you never owning their actions which doesn’t resolve anything. When someone hurts you and you let them know, and they’ve taken this course, their response will be “I’m sorry that’s how you view me” or “that’s just a story you’ve created ...” when in reality, by humanity standards - no, you just did something in very poor taste and disrespectful so own it, apologize and realIze it was in fact very “wrong.” Landmark gives its participants poor strategies to not take responsibility for their poor decisions and makes what they are doing OK. There’s “what happened” and then the story you create. So as these people behave poorly; they’re accepting of it because it’s on the other person to react and it has nothing to do with them. Landmark preys on emotionally weak people who aren’t happy in their lives, careers, relationships etc they brainwash themselves to believe how they speak and act is of “integrity”, and of honor when it’s really not. Be weary of this course. It will offer SOME insight but pick and choose what actually makes sense to being a better person. If they preach integrity but those promoting the course choose when they want to be honest, that’s called being a liar and fraudulent. But I’m sure they could accuse me of creating this story in my mind (ha ha) despite them denying that they’re not honest. Either you are honest and genuine and when you speak words your actions prove that, or you are not. You can’t be both. Throwing around phrases when you don’t truly comprehend them isn’t doing you any good."
