ASI is proud to announce a pilot program designed specifically for those healing from harmful power dynamics in spiritual groups or cults.
Have you experienced harm, manipulation, or abuse within a spiritual community? You’re not alone. This carefully structured 8-week pilot support group provides a safe, confidential space to process your experiences alongside others who truly understand.
Led by Deborah Cohen, who is an experienced facilitator, psychotherapist, mediator and coach, this healing journey allows you to:
- Share your story in a judgment-free environment
- Process complex emotions like anger, grief, and shame
- Reclaim your boundaries and authentic voice
- Connect with others on similar healing journeys
Program Details:
- 8 weekly sessions (90 minutes each)
- Small group format (8-10 participants)
- Starting in Autumn 2025 (exact dates scheduled once group forms)
- Open to ASI members and non-members alike
- Investment: $360 for the full program (pilot price)
Space is limited to 8-10 participants. If you are interested, please complete this interest form. After filling out the form, you will have a short interview with Deborah, the facilitator, to see if the pilot program goals and your needs will be a good fit. The program will not begin until there are 8-10 qualified participants registered.
If you are an ASI member and know a student or client who has experienced harm from their previous participation in a spiritual community or from following a spiritual teacher/guru, please forward them this opportunity. ASI membership is not required to participate.
Healing happens in community. Your journey back to trust—in yourself and in others—starts here.
