The program, although first perceived as confusing, is an ontological examination, a n inquiry into what it is to be human. Participants share personal experiences and words with fellow Forum participants and it is all led by a Forum leader. The Forum is about making distinctions, about distinguishing something for the first time. As humans, we all have distinctions about subjects we like. Architects have distinctions about buildings.
Musicians have distinctions about musical performance.
We also notice what becomes available when we have those distinctions. When the architect knows what makes a quality building, he or she has the power to make other quality buildings. The musician can make quality music on purpose instead of by accident. Landmark asserts that there are distinctions that can be made about how humans live. There are patterns that can be named and that recognition brings power to the individual.
