FIRE IN THE BELLY

FIRE IN THE BELLY

Years ago a self actualizing movement swept across the US and into Europe; EST (Erhard Seminar Training). Some of you older folk will probably remember it; some of you, I imagine, took the training. I did, but was never one of its supporters. One thing that has always stayed with me is something Werner Erhard (EST’S founder) said:

“The first three times that we ran these seminars, no one came. I gave the training’s to an empty room."

Those trainings lasted two and a half days, and I have little doubt that during those days Werner was able to convince the walls that they should be more than just walls.
