Being

I have been on a 20-year transformational journey. It began when I did the Landmark Forum in 2005. I wrote that I “did” the Forum because it is something you do more than a course on trans

Last month, eleven men from around the globe gathered at Fair Oak Farm in Mayfield, England, for the Powerful Men's Immersion (PMI), a transformative retreat led by life coach Ankush Jain. The retreat, set in a converted farm, offered a serene backdrop for participants to disconnect from their daily environments and reconnect with their true selves. Attendees from diverse countries, including the Philippines, India, North America, and Europe, shared private quarters or stayed in unique accommodations like the Grand Eco Lodge Tree House, enhancing their immersive experience.The PMI provided a safe space for men to discuss topics often considered taboo, such as emotional vulnerability, fear of failure, and struggles with intimacy. Through the guidance of Ankush and his team, participants co-created a supportive environment where they openly shared their feelings and experiences, fostering deep connections and ongoing support through monthly online meetings. This immersion into self-discovery and communal bonding was a life-changing experience for all involved.A unique aspect of the retreat was the presence of two alpacas grazing outside one participant's balcony. These alpacas served as a metaphor for life's constant presence and the daily choice to create meaningful experiences. This "Alpaca Distinction" encouraged participants to reflect on whether they would align with or resist life's circumstances. The retreat concluded with all men feeling transformed, empowered by the realization that they could actively shape their lives and no longer be victims of circumstance.

In 2005, I did the Landmark Forum, which is to say I participated in a three-day inquiry into what it means to be. One of the key distinctions of the Landmark technology is “Already Always Liste
