I don't know if the Team Training was the same training you're referring to, but you could've easily fit a boxing ring in the center of it. The Team Trainings were held in empty hotel banquet rooms with no chairs. We were on our feet all day.

There were typically about eighty premie attendees along with Valerio Pascotto and a few non-participating monitors taking mysterious notes. We stood in a large circle most of the time except for when we split into smaller break-out groups. Valerio typically stood in the middle of the large circle of premies.

The intention was to break premies down and rehabilitate them with the clear understanding that they are totally dependent on Maharaji Prem Rawat for everything - useless without him.

Unfortunately, it was highly effective and it worked. As much as I wept with gratitude at the time, I look back on it as an extreme form of abuse (to put it mildly!).
