I’m a day and a half into my integration back home after landing from Austin, Texas where I was co-leading a Conscious Communication Workshop for Lawyers and Firm staff. We led the group of 25 professionals for three and a half days of combined theory and experiential learning that culminated in a profoundly transformational trajectory for most of the participants.

I’m no stranger to cultish groups; I have operated with a pretty open heart and with the belief that everyone’s potential translates into goodness. I’ve been involved with more than a couple of MLMs and, of course, am spiritually inclined, which should be obvious with the work I do! 

In recent months, I’ve experienced an increase in people reaching out because of spiritual abuse. This type of coercive manipulation is often perpetuated by so-called healers, shady psychics and false shamans who prey on people when they are most vulnerable.
