LGAT
LGAT is the abbreviation for "Large Group Awareness Training".
A mechanism to promote awareness change and thorough rapid commitment to a
cause or idea. LGATs tend to brief but intense sessions of a few hours or
days in which participants ideally adopt the message of the training
promptly and enthusiastically.
Some see the classic LGATs as utilizing peer pressure and group dynamics in
a high-pressure sales environment to promote uncritical psycho-babbling
togetherness and thus to market nebulous memes and a propensity to recruit
new participants into a participation-oriented pyramid scheme under the
guise of providing useful training.
Historically, LGAT origins trace back, at least in part, to the encounter
group movement of the 1960s.
Alleged LGATs include:
* Context Associates
* est/Landmark Education
* Garden Company
* Hunger Project
* Insight
* Lifespring
* ManKind Project
* Momentus
* Training Phoenix 2000
* PSI World
* Silva Mind Control/Silva Method
* Sterling Institute of Relationships
* Whole Mind Learning (WML)
