I was in Cross Creek in 2008

I got a question.   What were the seminars like?  What were the disclosures like?

anythinganyone:
I don't know what you mean by "disclosure".

The seminars were held every two months or so, there were seven seminars at the time I was there (although they get changed a lot, now there's six): Discovery, Focus, Parent-Child I, Principles, Parent-Child II, Keys to Success, Parent-Child III, and Parent-Child IV.  I only went through Discovery.
In the seminar, if your effort was considered inadequate or it "wasn't the right time", you would "choose out".  "Choosing out" meant essentially you were kicked out and would have to redo the seminar within the next two months.  You needed to "graduate" seminars to progress in levels, privileges, and to ultimately get out.  It was called "choosing out" because by your actions, you chose to leave and redo it next time.
 A lot of emphasis was put on the way we phrased our words.  We "choose" to do things, we never "have" to or are forced to.  There was a lot of emphasis on being accountable as opposed to being a "victim" as well.  A victim is someone who blames others for their situation or choices; they make no progress in life.  There was also the "Comfort Zone".  I have the Discovery charts somewhere in the house, and I'll get them out to refresh my memory, sorry, I forgot a lot of this.
Anyways, seminars were co-ed.  Girls sat on one side of the room and boys the  other.  We could not communicate with the opposite sex off-task or it was a cat 4 (loss of two levels with minimum points + 30 worksheet tape credits and staff buddy) and meant "choosing out"
I'll write more later; I'm not in a stellar mood and my chest hurts.
