I know the relentless 24/7 News Machine has moved on, but I would like to circle back to this deeply troubling development within the spiritual community.

While the world’s focus has shifted, the implications of these files for our community haven’t changed. As a spiritual teacher and breathworker, I found the presence of prominent spiritual figures in those records deeply disconcerting. This was only compounded by the public “apology” issued by Deepak Chopra—an evasive and tone-deaf statement that, in my view, failed to meet the moment and suggested a fundamental lack of understanding regarding the harm done.

Fortunately, there is also good news to be found in the opportunity this offers to finally make some real progress addressing these issues.

For this reason, I want to commend to your attention the 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 on this matter. A deeply considered response, it has already garnered significant support for its approach to a way forward. (In the interest of transparency, I serve on the Board of Directors and contributed to its drafting.)

All the Best!,
