SOCIAL: Help finding whether organization is solid or not

[mike.kosim at mac.com]

My friend ellen went to a landmark forum "free class" that was the first day in a 3 day session.  You had to pay a lot to get the other two days, of course.  

She did say that there was a lot of value.  She only went the first day, and it catalyzed her change incareers to become a radio producer.  

She did say that there were definitely very cult-like things that went on, such as the person guarding the door.  

Also, IMHO, you should be suspicious of any org that after a day of lectures urges you to act on strong emotions.  In fact, the orgs I have trained under (shanti, zen hospice project) encourage you to be introspective due to the volatile nature of the emotions at that point. They actively discouraged their trainees from acting on their emotions at that point. 

IMHO, treat with suspicion anyone who treats your life with urgency.  Rarely in life are things truly so urgent that contemplation is ill-advised.
