Hello Dear and Beautiful People:

I am sorry for the somewhat more general format, but I've a number of people to reach and this I hope will be an efficient way to do that. And for the non-Jews, there's a Jewish bias in this missive, but you are more than welcome to come to this introduction.

So first, I acknowledge you all for the diffferences you choose to make in people's lives, whether it's just the work you do to be a parent, taking care of a parent or spouse, being the shoulder and support for your family, working on your marriages, working on creating normal lives when things have transitioned in unexpected ways, showing up at a Minyan, joining the CSS, opening your houses to me and other odd folk, educating, healing, taking the time to make yourselves and the world a better place, the comfort you provide, I could actually go on a long time here.

A lot of people show up for me here, and each of the above was directed at many of you personally.

So I am writing today because I've gotten a lot of value out of the work I've done at a company called Landmark Worldwide, which offers a series of personal development courses, the basic one being the Landmark Forum.

The Landmark Forum is a three day (and an evening) exploration into the conversations we have mostly with ourselves, mostly undistinguised, and how we invent them and then let them run our lives, obviously with great positive effect given where we've all gotten, but sometimes with less than salutary effect.

When we appreciate these conversations, and where they can get in the way, we find we have new paths and choices available to us, and create a space for more power, ease, freedom, self-expression, peace of mind.

And for some, the world shifts in massive ways, and for some it's just a shift in how we relate to what we've got. It will move your life forward in the areas that are important to you.

I'm having this introduction now because the course is being offered in a few weeks on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, completing Thursday evening. This is rare, like years between these. It's usually over Shabbat, and impossible for the religious jew as it's at the moment Zoom based.

So please, if any of what I've shared speaks to you, and I haven't shared anything here (I'm running out of time before Shabbat), or who I happen to be in the world makes a difference for you (I credit Landmark with most of the good stuff), show up for the Introduction.

Bring something from your life that doesn't work or isn't working the way you'd like it to, something important, like that would make a difference if you saw somethng new there. We'll have an exercise, explain what the course is about, and invite you to register. Have your calendar and credit card on hand so that you are not frustrated if this turns out to be what you want.

The cost of the Landmark Forum is $675. THe evening is without cost or obligation.

The promise is that you see something that makes a difference for you, whether you register or not.

Please let me know if you can make it, and I'll follow with a Zoom link for the intro.

Thanks so much. I love you all.

David R. Herz
