Learn
about cults and other unhealthy spiritual communities
in a group environment designed for you and others
with a similar background.
The
group being offered is based on an approach developed by Leland
Shields (one of the group facilitators) and recently published
in the Cultic Studies Journal (Volume 18). Educational materials
will be distributed to provide foundational information about
healing from unhealthy spiritual communities. Myths and folk tales
will be offered to catalyze reflection and discussion of the issues
raised by your experiences. Open and collaborative discussion
will be encouraged.
