Less than 2 % found them to be " of no value ".

Training graduates were often eager to share their own experiences in the Lifespring trainings with family, friends, and co-workers, although they were precluded from sharing fellow trainees experiences.

There was never any compensation for assisting in enrolling others into the workshops.

However, another, independent study found that, " The merging, grandiosity, and identity confusion that has been encouraged and then exploited in the training in order to control participants is now used to tie them to Vitality ( Lifespring ) in the future by enrolling them in new trainings and enlisting them as recruiters ".

More than 400, 000 people worldwide participated in the Lifespring workshops.
