A Participant's
Perspective

“I had always thought of vacations as an opportunity for adventure and being with special people as well as an opportunity for relaxation. Participating in the Vacation Courses was a whole new experience. Not only did I get the adventure, the quiet relaxation time, and the enjoyment of friends, I was also able to actively work on things that were important to me. I got to expand my sense of self, community, and the commitments I am involved in. What fun to combine all these into one."

Landmark's Vacation Courses

Have a breakthrough vacation.

Cruise the breathtaking splendor of Alaska's inside passage, ski the Rocky Mountains, be pampered in the top spas and resorts of the world – all this while extending the exploration of the Wisdom Unlimited Course.  

Offered in a variety of vacation spots and on cruise ships, each vacation course focuses on a particular topic designed to expand your facility with the conversations for designing your life, your work, and your contribution in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to combine being on a spectacular vacation with exploring and deepening the distinctions of transformation.

Some of the courses that are offered include:

The 2010 Year-End (Land) Cruise
Play unhooks us from the significance of our lives and sets us free to become what we otherwise could not imagine. The Wisdom community has come together at the end of each year for more than 20 years to explore topics that expand on the conversations of the Wisdom Course in spectacular vacation settings. This year, more than 250 people from around the world will engage in conversations for, of, and about play.
 
In this vacation course, you’ll:

•    Play, and experience the places where you stop playing
•    See already existing but hidden opportunities for you to play
•    Upgrade your conversations for play
•    Share your insights and share in the insights of others
•    Expand your capacity for enrolling others in participating with you

Transforming Yesterday's Strategies
In this six-day course, delivered at a spa or resort, you examine the conversations and strategies you’ve developed over your lifetime—how they’re shaped by gender and how the same patterns occur over and over again. These patterns and our strategies are embedded in every conversation. In this course you’ll gain insight into the strategies you’ve used to relate to people of the same sex and of the opposite sex. You’ll see how your strategies determine your relationships, begin to relate from a place beyond your strategies, and create a new realm of possibility for relating.

Transforming Yesterday's Strategies II
In long-term relationships, our day-to-day interactions may become predictable. Our attempts to fix, change, or improve this rarely lead to the rich and full life together we want. In this course, you’ll see how early compromises made in our lives have shaped how we are living today. You and your partner will explore key aspects of the foundation of your long-term relationship and invent a new foundation of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Exploring the Fulfilled Life
Fulfilled living is a function of achievement that starts with commitment. Often we limit what we're going after, simply because of failures we've experienced in the past. By seeing where we've imposed these limits we are able to open up our lives to new areas of achievement. We develop an appropriate relationship to the risks that the future requires. We find ourselves willing to commit to what matters to us, free to take on what previously seemed unavailable, evolving in answer to the call of the future.

Structural Connections
Everything we do and everything we communicate include “structural language”— ongoing, repetitive gestures, facial expressions, postures, and so on. Becoming aware of this and its influence lets us increase our effectiveness and can be crucial to the fulfillment of our commitments. In the Structural Connections course, you’ll explore what becomes possible when you access this aspect of your conversations. Like adding a new room to your house, adding new structural sentences to your repertoire generates new spaces in which you can grow and develop.

This course bypasses understanding and explanation and goes directly into practice. Existing, habitual conversations disappear and you’ll find yourself effortlessly shifting matters that appeared to be fixed.

Program Logistics
Vacation Courses take place at vacation spots or on cruise ships during 5-7 days. Course sessions are approximately three hours each day depending on the other vacation activities scheduled. This is a vacation, yet we recommend that participants attend all course sessions.

Participants in the course can bring along family and friends, as space permits. The price for family and friends will not include tuition fees.
