Have you ever heard of the association First Suburbs? What has been your experience/take on them?

We recently attended a church sponsored seminar from these people who claim to teach people how to increase their listening abilities. But if you actually listened to what they were promoting, they damage communication and listening skills and instead promote interview techniques to learn personal information about the subject to use for your own personal benefit - we were offended and wondered if anyone else has had experience with them. (They then take the information they learn about the individual and use it for self-promoting political practices in seeking additional power - their words and confession, not my take!)
