A Day of Celebration at Landmark Education in Bangkok, Thailand.

For weeks to the day, we in Bangkok, the graduates, the program leaders, and the staffs have been agonizing, anxious and yet excited to prepare our new Landmark office and ourselves - just so we could have the best to show to the world on that upcoming special occasion.

I could speak for myself that I was in wonderment as we went through the preparation long before the ceremony came to be. I remembered when I first did the first ever Landmark Forum in Bangkok in 2003.

I did not have any clue then, how my life would be so positively impacted. Not only for myself, but also for my husband, my daughter and many other relatives and friends. One after the other, they followed me to do the Landmark Forum and came out more of the same, but absolutely transformed. I could not imagine then, that from the original 80 some graduates there were now thousands upon thousands of us in Thailand.

I recalled to be so moved by Landmark Education, which had brought out the best of myself and others - so that one day I requested to participate as one of the People Who Assist. I began leading Introduction to the Landmark Forum, became a Course Supervisor and led the Seminar Program. At each training I produced delightful and breakthrough results for my self.

All this time we in Bangkok were aware that Landmark Education is making a difference not only in our community but also all over the world. I had traveled to Boston, USA, just so my teenage daughter could do the Landmark Forum for Young People. I had the privilege to travel to Seoul, South Korea to assist at their second Landmark Forum.

But really, when we saw our fearless leader Jerome Downes walked down the hall and introduced Harry and Joan Rosenberg to the local Thai graduates; we become part of the world of transformation. It was a truly magical moment when we were so proud, but also very humble at the same time.

It was a point in time that each of us say thank you to Harry and Joan for what it took on their part so that we in Thailand can also participate and reap the benefits of this exceptional education. In turn we were deeply moved when the staffs, the People Who Assist, and the graduates in Thailand were acknowledged, for making the purpose of Landmark Education win against all odds. It is indeed a celebration for everyone who loves possibility!
