Spiritual Abuse – Why Some Gurus and Religious Leaders Get Seduced By Money, Sex, and Power with Connie Zweig

Why do some gurus and religious leaders get seduced by money, sex, and power? Why are we drawn to charismatic leaders? What do we unconsciously give away to them? Why are so many willing to surrender their spiritual authority?

And how do we break free of denial, projection, and dependency and recover from spiritual abuse or betrayal by a teacher or group?

In her latest book, Meeting the Shadow on the Spiritual Path: The Dance of Darkness and Light in Our Search for Awakening, Connie Zweig, Ph.D., reveals that within each of us is a spiritual longing that prompts us to unite with something greater than ourselves, to awaken to our unity with all of life. Yet, no matter the spiritual path we choose, we inevitably encounter our own shadow, those unconscious aspects of ourselves that we suppress or deny, or the shadows of our teachers and their secret desires about money, sex, and power. But while meeting the shadow can derail our journey, Connie Zweig, Ph.D., we can learn to recover from loss of faith, and move from spiritual naivete to spiritual maturity, and reclaim our spiritual authority.

Connie Zweig, Ph.D. is a retired therapist and co-author of Meeting the Shadow and Romancing the Shadow. Her award-winning book, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul, which won several coveted book awards extends her work on the Shadow into midlife and beyond and explores aging as a spiritual practice.
