Review №1

For many years I came here thinking I would get real help in my life. I left the organization broke and broken a couple of years ago. I was coerced and conned out of so much money that Im still financially devastated. I asked a few times to different people for a refund only to be told I would be declared a suppressive person and banned from the Church. On top of all this, I am a disabled US Navy veteran. I was under the impression that my wounds would get better from their auditing. When it didnt they directed me to a Dr. who was a Scientology chiropractor. Luckily now I get REAL medical help from REAL MDs and other various specialty Drs through the VA. I did however get to meet quite a few celebrities and some really interesting and cool people. Its not all bad. Their policies and the way things are run are dangerous and seem inherently evil in their intentions, however. I wouldnt recommend getting involved. You can learn and get so much more out of life in other places than here. Oh and by the way, I still want my money back. Wheres my money?

I needed to use restroom and thought this was a public hotel. Security swarmed on me and sent me away. This is a church? A hotel? I once had a nice talk with a gardener there. Also noticed guards pushing people into adjacent building. It is a beautiful building but so creepy now. I made it to Gelsons but line…

Best place to be when you needed help and a place to get away from the stress of everyday lives. At this place you can get solutions to any problems you may have in life. How do I know? Because I got the HELP! Visit them and find out yourself.

For the low cost of 12000 dollars and a 1 billion year contract you can belong to this church

How do people belong to a religion that turns you against your own family. Miscavige is a psycho and his Hubbards teaching is nonsense. So let me get this straight if I I joined the church and my brother didnt share my opinion I would have to excommunicate him. That is insane and so is your church.

Very fine, upbeat place. Nice environment. They have a fantastic regard for safety and cleanliness at all times, and do a special cleaning to be doubly sure now, because of the covid. In fact, it seems as if they go beyond setting the standard.

I first learned what L Ron Hubbard taught through business. Everything that is reassign is simply how to improve your life. Thats it. Take your life to the highest level. And it works. Im always about what works.

Review №18

A person I am following did a webinar on mindset and finances and recommended a book. I love reading self-help books and taking mindset courses so when someone from celebrity center offered me two mindset courses and two books for $125 I knew, as an entrepreneur that it was a great deal. I thought...The whole process was kind of weird... I couldnt figure out why they were spending almost 2 hours putting me through this phone call orientation for a mindset course. Why would anyone trade over 2 hours of their time for a low priced, mass produced book and course?They mentioned Scientology after I paid for the courses and said it wouldnt conflict with Christian beliefs and that it was mindset courses... Yeeeaaahhh...After looking up scientology after a long and weird orientation processes I realized that it was the start of trying to convert people into Scientology and the more research I did on Scientology the more I didnt want anything to do with it.So... I hope this review helps someone who is thinking about taking these courses and happens to google Celebrity Centre. I am out $125 because I am definitely not interested in the course material.

This is the best place I have ever been too. First of all it is beautiful and welcoming. The staff have turned to family here and have a great desire to help you. I have changed so much since coming here for my courses for the better ! I’m a better communicator , I’m more confident, I’m better with money , I’m more responsible, I feel happier, smarter, and I gained some of the best friends in the world. As soon as you walk on the grounds the vibe changes to some where you always want to be. Email me if u have questions. [email protected]

Ive walked there many times, Ive just never driven past it, however for those that do drive the streets of L.A.,it will be seen. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The entrance way is well marked. I have yet to try the food, in the authentic French Restaurant.This location is also a popular host to many workshops.Wonderful people, helping others from all walks of life!!Beautiful Historical Building that that holds old Hollywood Film Industry, past and present. The Hotel rooms of past Celebrities, Betty Davis, Cary Grant, and many others!! :-)

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in all of Los Angeles. I love bringing my friends here. They always leave walking on clouds. In the winter we sit by the fire place and drink hot coco and have fun chatting. During the summer nights there are films played out on the lawn under the stars. Its truly a magical place. The staff are so welcoming with huge smiles. The French chef has superb kitchen skills! Brunch on sundays are perfect. The courses are wonderful and help put order into life. I owe so much of my success to the courses and caring staff at Celebrity Centre. I would recommend it to anyone! - TL :)

Review №36

Ive been going back to Celebrity Centre for 15 years and treated always with genuine kindness and care about who I am and how to help make myself a fully confident and successful individual towards my career, my family and most of those that I come in contact with during daily living. The staff and executives at CC lift you up to your greatest potential and then you in turn go and give a helping hand to others and cause them to better themselves and be able to be happier in your presence. They set the example for optimal living and helping others. Most skills that Ive learned from anyone on how to live a fulfilled life and an outwardly directed,less selfless view of what my needs are and more of what responsibility I have towards others. This is power, ability and happiness each and every time I go to Celebrity Centre. Thomas C

This is a Great Group of people helping the world be a better place to live. They spend money and therefore need to charge for services. When something went wrong (not because of what they did) they helped me for free. My path has been difficult because of me. These are good people. James T La Fave

I did the Purification Program at Celebrity Center. You might say I am a connoisseur of Purification Programs having administered it myself to countless hundreds. I was not disappointed. The staff were very competent, friendly and helpful. The environment is beautiful. My compadres on the program were widely varied in age, occupation and background but all fascinating, talented people. The result I got was wonderful - a body free from toxins and a happier outlook on life. It took some work but was totally worth it. I would recommend it to anyone.

I am an inventor and Celebrity Centre International is a great place to get assistance and help so you can succeed. I have been helped personally with a set by set course of action that has done quite a bit of improvement in my life. Far more that I imagined. I then helped others and that is a real gift, to take the same thing I needed and use it and then help another person with the same information. I did it again and again. Now if it works on my friends it will work on you too.KR

Stay away! They will lie and tell you they can help your career! They cant, you being on the big screen, is only their goal if they can take millions from you! If you make it you can give them millions and then you can eat with the like of Tom Cruise! Tom Curse is NOT worth millions of dollars to eat with! Make them show proof they have EVER given money to a parishner in need! EVER! Do your research! Once they have you if you do the research they will charge you to tell you NEVER look us up on the internet! It is all lies! That will be $7,500.00 for the auditing session!

Review №79

I actually enjoyed the first few “life improvement” courses. However, they’re clearly motivated by money and it ruined my whole experience in a heart beat. I clearly stated when I felt like stopping and the old lady (as nice as she was) insisted on putting me on some “pathway to spiritual freedom “ that would just keep me going?? It wasn’t until I started Dianetics that I lost interest. Dianetics just didn’t interest me🙌🏽 That only made the next lady more pushy and annoying. She would stop me ALL THE TIME because she “observed certain behaviors” while I was reading?? What don’t you like about it? What don’t you get? I would keep saying it didn’t apply to me or my life like the leadership course, relationships, confidence course. But I was trying to concentrate!!! They demand you turn off your phone! (Nope! I kept mine on!) The lady sent me a text message TELLING me to come in, not even asking. Boy did I let her have it! “Please don’t assume I’m free!” The whole reason I even went there was because of their acting courses. The new lady DIDN’t like the fact that I came one day less because I attended the acting class???? I told her THATS THE WHOLE REASON I CAME HERE!! I don’t regret coming here, but it doesn’t change the fact that I left on not so good terms. Pestering calls have not stopped! They do behave like a cult! They tried to get me to work there and stated that they make commission off classes sold. Yet a previous guy told me they don’t make commission??

Review №88

Looks amazing. Well kept, manicured gardens and one of the most beautiful buildings in hollywood. Ive talked to local scientologists and expressed that i have no desire for a religion, to which they will all kindly respect without arguing. All around lovely people who are willing to help at all times. However. They are a tax free organization which pride themselves in their aquired riches. I do believe scientology helps some people, but theres no guarentee and dont assume a higher plain of existence for disregarding psychology as a science. The true happiness and self discovery can be found in psycology. If these people accepted psychology as a science, i would join straight away. But they cant proclaim an ancient science of the mind to be irrelevant.
