I can offer my take from the perspective of someone who has never been to one and has no current plans to go to one regardless the teacher/facilitator/whoever.

Actually, I should say I have no plans under my current life situation. If I had a lot more disposable income left over after my other priorities it might be an option. Right now I haven't seen anything where I felt like I would receive a significant enough return on the investment. This is not to say that any particular person's seminar is not worth $xyz.00, I'm just saying it doesn't look like it is worth it to me right now.

I am gaining in my understanding, growth, and effectiveness without devoting a weekend and a big chunk of money by devoting time daily to those things. I read, I journal, I meditate, and I talk about things with other people.

I expect I gain more lasting benefit from consistent daily practice than these shots in the arm. I'd probably gain even more lasting benefit from daily practice AND a shot in the arm, but that's where the cost/value thing comes in.
