REUNION OF IDEAS
What is a reunion of est without sharing?
Welcome to a reunion of ideas. Reminisce with others about a unique time in our culture and about the est Training that continues to impact our lives everyday. Studies of transformational programs that began with est show that 7 out of 10 people found the programs to be one of their life's most rewarding experiences. This blog is evidence of the enduring difference the program has made in people’s lives. This is a gathering place for you to share what the est training provided for you, your career, your family, friends, and communities, then and now.

Almost 30 years ago in Orange County California I attended a EST training. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life. From my 11 years of overseas life in the Middle East where I practiced the methodology of accomplishing results in very challenging environment, to subsequent lessons in spirtuality regarding ‘present moment’ awareness, and everything in between,… can be attributed to my learning experience in the EST training. I have grown and expanded on my peronsal belief process, and continue to do so, but I can say wihtout reservation that it started with my ablity to see myself for the first time in a whole new way, back in the folding chair where I sat…. in Newport Beach California in 1982. The quality of my life, and the results that stem from my thoughts, stem from those weekends, and I am thankful…… Thank you W.E.

Originally took the EST Training in Chicago in January of 1979 in the middle of one of the worst snowstorms in the cities history. Out of the training I began a process that would change my life. Became willing to be honest with myself and the people around me in a way I had not been before. Thirty one years later the process still continues as I live in my transformed ability to experience living in which the things I have been trying to change clear up in the process of life. Tackling life by letting go.

I’m happy. After the training I knew I could not create something from somethings. I
started with nothing and created somethings, many times.
I still have my little book. It went through the washing machine cycle once
accidentally and endured. The first layer, the cover peeled off revealing all the
truths inside. How fortuitous is that? Thank you Werner.

When I was 16 my whole neighborhood in Marin did the training and I eventually got my parents to do it so that I could participate. Then after college I returned to the program and participated in the Forum, the Six day and the Mastery of Empowerment. I still miss the support and love that was generated by the people in those groups. Each seminar had at least one transformative moment. I would not be who I am as a person if I had not participated. In fact my mom once said that I had healed our family. That was thanks to Werner Erhard’s work.

March 1979; my life as I know it today began. Thank you Werner for all the great stuff in between; the 6 day, the MOE, seminars, IFLP, more seminars, the Forum, and thanks for supporting great people doing great stuff, Money, Wisdom, Relationships (the courses, the results, and of course the reminder in the form of the reasons why not….)
As Werner wrote in a personal note to me so very long ago: Thank you for going beyond contributing to really making a difference.

Thanks to Werner Erhard, my children and most of my friends live full, wonderful lives. I first participated in the work in 1979 at age 24. I really don’t know what my life would have been like without it. And it ain’t even over yet!!

From the Est Training in the 70s to 80s my transformation was awesome. Santa Barbara, CA. Now I have moved to releasing technique to quantum physics and your programs were super creations!
I gave 5 stars to Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard to acknowledge what Werner’s humanity and commitment contributed to the world. When I think of him, I am moved to tears–not because of a fawning cult figure adoration. Like myself, I am aware of his many human flaws and failures. I am moved to tears because when I remember Werner Erhard, I remember who I am.
I remember how I hated my mother and father and had little contact with them for 12 years. After doing the est Training & The 6-Day Course, I began getting to know them for the first time. As a result, my father ended up being the “best man” at my wedding 25 years ago. How do you thank a person for something like that?

Thank you for the est training and using your gifts to create such a rippling effect on the world. I was 19 years old when I did the training and out of that event how many peoples lives have been touch by what I got out of it. My children and their children and so on….. Much Love and Gratitude to you.
