The radically innovative est Training courses operated as Erhard Seminars Training from late 1971 to February 1981; Werner Erhard and Associates operated from
February 1981 until early 1991; the primary course was renamed the Landmark Forum in early 1985; founder Werner Erhard sold the assets of WE&A in 1991 to
a group of employees, who then formed Landmark Education; Erhard retired and left the United States. Landmark rebranded itself as Landmark Worldwide in 2013 and
continued its success during the COVID-19 epidemic by developing courses delivered online via Zoom technology, then rebranded itself again in 2022.

    Criticism of The Enterprise
    Criticism of Landmark Education and Landmark Worldwide may have some basis in Reality. But Landmark is NOT any form of cult. I have been transforming events in my life
    for over 40 years now, using the Landmark Education technology. I live in a remote desert city in the center of New Mexico USA and have little contact with fellow humans, and
    virtually no contact with other Landmark Graduates or the organization, and there is your proof: Landmark Education technology works, no cult INFO: A cult is a group which is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who tightly controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society) - Wikipedia required.
