Each successful community has it's own form of 'communal glue'--a process by which individuals can become clear with themselves and each other, address issues that are coming up in their lives, receive communal support, etc. These processes vary widely from community to community, and have names as diverse as their constituents.
The ZEGG Forum (of no relationship to Landmark) is a group process developed at ZEGG (The Center For Experimental Cultural Design) which provides a stage for whatever is happening inside the person: one's true motivations, deep feelings, ideas and emotions. The Forum helps facilitate transparency, sharing and clarifying unsolved situations of daily life, and, in many cases, can also be a catalyst for one's own personal growth. Forum is about liberation, understanding and communication NOW. It provides a framework for investigating human nature. Over time the Forum becomes a powerful basis for raising the lever of awareness of the whole community. It's a dynamic process and is usually facilitated by 2-3 people from the community it's serving.
