My Sister & I went through the program both of us had extensive drug use ( she was a heroine user)
Our 3 younger brothers never got into drugs. I think that says something.

I believe this forum is very good. It allows us who went through this exprience to air our thoughts and impressions of the time we spent at the Seed be it for good or for bad. I believe my exprience was for the better and I hold very fond memories especially of the people I met while I was there. The Seed was not perfect and maybe part of the problem was I expected perfection.After being in the world for so long I have come to the conclusion that nothing that involves people will ever be perfect.
I can go and on on about somethings that I did not agree with and mistakes that were made, but I choose not to. In the end I feel my true growth happened once I left the Seed (Smartest thing I ever did) but only after I learned the things I needed to learn. If this was a brainwash then for me brainwashing was a good thing. To be able to funtion in the world and to be happy was the whole point of the thing something that some staff and many long timers failed to understand.
I can understand people who were left bitter and resentfull and even respect thier views I can honestly say it helps me to put my thoughts together about that time in my life which I constantly think about. ( I never get tired of reading these posts) To all of us that went through this exprience I wish you all the best for all of you hold a special place in my heart even if I don't always agree with your views. After much thought I can say that Seed is what gave me the foundation on which I base my life on today. Life is too short to live in resentment or bitterness or wallow in what could have been. You can accuse me of being too much of an idealist but I took what I was taught at the seed as the literal truth. I'm not perfect and I have my faults and God knows how many stupid mistakes I have made. For all of us who went through this exprience (In the famous of Charles Dickens) " May God Bless us, everyone".

I can relate, nice to here what you had to say.
It gave me a good foundation to work with as well.
We all had a unique experience and it is a great forum to hear the good and the bad, I do believe The Seed was started with love and good intentions, and if one life was saved it was worth it, but I know many lives were saved. what year were you there?
