Shownotes

I've had some pretty traumatic moments as a member of various spiritual communities, and it's inspired me to share my experiences and expose the dark side of spiritual communities.

I hope to shine a light on these issues so that we can clean up spiritual communities. Budding meditators or yogis can spot these toxic aspects in advance, the perpetrators can realise what they've done wrong and grow as a result, and all of us can reflect on what spirituality actually is and why communities function as they do.
