Year-End Vacation
The World Is Your Stage
The Workshop Where Being Meets Acting
The World Is Your Stage Year-End Vacation
November 30 - December 6, 2026 at the Grand Fiesta Americana in Los Cabos, Mexico
If the world's a stage, and you could play any role, what role would you play?
Your Life…
The FIRST act:
Your past: everything that happened that has brought you to now.
The SECOND act:
Your present: whatever is unfolding now.
But the THIRD act:
Your future, what has yet to be written or created: that is what this workshop is about. And you have the opportunity to create it with a freedom, creativity, and ease beyond what you can imagine.
In this unforgettable workshop, you will not only create a new, inspiring, and very real “third act” for your life story, but you will also be coached by some of the world’s foremost acting teachers and a team of extraordinary professional actors in breaking free from the familiar patterns of moving, speaking, emoting, and thinking that have defined you for years, opening up astonishing new possibilities for you and your life.
Unlike any Landmark program you have ever taken, this workshop, created by Werner Erhard and Sandy Robbins, will be led by Sandy, who in addition to being on Landmark’s Research, Design & Development Team and accountable for the design of the Communication Program, is also the founder and former Producing Artistic Director of the nationally acclaimed Resident Ensemble Players (REP), as well as the founder and former Director of Training of one of the top ten theater training programs in America, as acknowledged by U.S. News & World Report.
*Standard and Subscriber tuitions require a USD 2,000 deposit with the final payment due: August 14, 2026.
For more information or to register, contact a Wisdom Course Leader or Cynthia Barnett, Year-end Manager.
