Lifespring as a corporate entity, at the moment sort of does not exist officially anymore, so please regard all postings as a fellow human being's best guess, and nothing more. [Thanks to Summit Education & Millennium 3 for the info below, and to Maria Strong for standing to keep straight all the info on our fellow grads and their work in the world.] The various Lifespring-style workshops workshops are designed to use an experiential, or participatory, learning model. The roots of the experiential model date back to 1947 at the National Training Laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland. There, researchers developed what was called the "process learning model" involving the use of exercises (processes) which enabled participants to learn from the whole experience instead of just the intellectual input.

For Grads, future Grads, and those they stand for. All interested parties get to go!

Someone's personal page in France which purports to neutrally present information on various LGATs and workshops, both positive and negative information. I do not necessarily support the information on it, but what I do support is people's permission to see other sides and opinions and choose for themselves, so I am leaving this link up so that they can do so. I feel that even some of the negative information might provide insight to those considering the trainings, and I hope even after reading it, you are still open to that possibility.
NB: If you have come here through a link on Wikipedia, you should be clear that I did not post or approve posting of my page as a link, and have been battling fruitlessly with Wikipedia to remove it. This is not an official page of any kind. It is my personal collection of links and should be treated like anyone's personal links web page, not an authoritative source of any sort. The groups on it did not ask to be included, any more than any web site asks to be on someone's personal links page. It's very sad that a disclaimer of this type even needs to be posted, but apparently it does. This is a link to a relevant discussion about it. If anyone knows who to effectively complain to at Wikipedia to make them remove my web page, please drop me a note @ gotmalk at hotmail dot com. I don't have time to sit and learn how to edit a Wiki to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Other Links (for other empowering people, groups and web sites with compatible or similar stances, but who are not technically Lifespring-styled trainings or groups.) Above Rubies is a magazine to encourage women in their high calling as wives, mothers, and homemakers. Its purpose is to uphold and strengthen family life and to raise the standard of God's truth in the nation. The name has been chosen from Proverbs 31.10 AMP, " A capable, intelligent and virtuous woman, who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far Above Rubies or pearls."
Association for Christian Character Development
(kind of like a Christianity-centric version of the Lifespring Trainings)

A passaround page with the now-famous speech by Marianne Williamson.

Someone's personal site, but clearly they are either a Grad or hang out with someone who is.
