The Landmark Forum For Young People 
Bringing forth the best of us as a family.

We live in Tryon, near Asheville, North Carolina. At first I thought it would be such a challenge to travel to Boston in September 2000, to have Jack and Mattie (they were 10 and 12 years old then) do The Landmark Forum for Young People. All the organizing and preparations and getting the kids in shape! Yet once I got into it, all things worked out. 

One morning, just like most married couples, I was having an argument with my husband, Mike. Mike went off to work angry and I was left at home just being miserable. Suddenly Mattie, my 14 years old daughter, told me: “Mom, you are making it mean something!” I burst out laughing and the day went on just great. 

It has been very rewarding to have everyone in my family in communication, in relationship that makes a difference to each other.

I did the Landmark Forum in August 1999 in Atlanta, Georgia. Subsequently I have done many Landmark seminars in Charlotte, North Carolina and currently I am an Introduction Leader. I have accomplished many breakthrough results as I participate in various courses and programs from Landmark Education.  I asked my children to do The Landmark Forum for Young People because I love them and I want them to have the very best in their life.

Every one of my children has been positively impacted by the course. Mattie, who has created a novel way on her own to get herself a horse, now also works well with other children.  Jack, my youngest son, has showed up as an independent person and with lots of creativity after The Landmark Forum for Young People.  

Josh, my oldest son, did the Landmark Forum for Teens  in Atlanta, Georgia. Before the course, Josh usually wouldn’t respond to my questions and used to be shy, withdrawn. Now our communication is satisfying and he is out there in the world and has held jobs since he was 14! 

On the last day of the course I was in the room when Josh, then 14 years old, stood up and acknowledged his family and declared his responsibility to us. I was so proud of Josh and saw for the first time what a powerful young man he truly is, with so much depth, beyond the fact that he is my son! It was an awesome moment in my life that I stand for every parent to have in his or her life.
