The Advocate Experience was created by David Goodstein, owner of the
Advocate magazine, and Dr. Rob Eichberg in 1978. It was a two-weekend, all-day series of extensive self-realization workshops to bring
self-acceptance, awareness and tolerance within the LGBT community. Goodstein and Eichberg facilitated the workshops until
their deaths in 1985 and 1995 respectively. Since 1987, fellow colleague Honey Ward facilitated what had become known as The
Experience. As of 2013, it is known as Experience Your Power.
