i-Impact

Well it has been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon.

Apparently the entire community has been transplanted from Minnesota
to Angwin, California.

This week the circus of the mind has blown into town and it is taking
the hearts and minds and souls of the people without refund or
deposit. It is called i-Impact.

i-Impact (do a google if you like) is an expensive, intensive series
of weekend seminars that "all" thinking people should invest in to
look inside themselves and find the true meaning in life, find the
answers to all the problems in your life you never were able to solve
and thus become a whole person, all without the need for prayer.

This process (about $4,000) over 5 weekends must be raking in the
dollars based on the number of local, mid-career couples and managers
I know who have signed up for the life changing experience and are
paying out of their own pockets for the keys to unlock their happier
selves. A trip to Cancun, without a hurricane, a little snorkeling
and a prayer life could probably do the same thing.

i-Impact is a group process, in a hotel conference center where you
are led into the steps of self discovery by a "mentor couple" who
have experienced this themselves and have invited you to join them in
this journey of discovery. The first night is free. Of course if you
do not sign up after the first night, then you are in denial and your
resistance to self improvement is evidence of just how much you need
this type of program. Each weekend is then a stand alone seminar of
development. Thursday, noon to 11PM, then homework, Friday, noon to
midnight, then homework, Saturday, 10AM to midnight, then homework,
Sunday, 10AM to midnight. Four or five weekends of this, if you have
not found your self then you are not looking in the right places.
