About the Author

Miriam Penman was on a journey to explore the esoteric dimensions of the natural world when she joined a group that answered her questions along the way. Eventually she realized her membership in this spiritual group was unhealthy. She then wrote the story of her and other member's cult-like experiences, subsequent hurts and final healing. Penman, now a retired teacher and theater director, lived through the events detailed in this book. She desires to share this account with others, not necessarily to prevent them from similar experiences, but as a beacon of light to reveal the reality of healing from similar trauma incurred on this journey of exploration. In narrating this healing process, she makes it clear that compassion and forgiveness for one's self and others is of utmost importance.
