Fallout: Recovering From Abuse In Tibetan Buddhism

Fallout is the story of a woman's journey from ignorance of the alleged abuse perpetrated by Sogyal Rinpoche, head of the Rigpa Tibetan Buddhist community, to the realisation of the extent of the abuse, the depth of the trauma suffered by survivors, and how certain beliefs and assumptions enabled the abuse. It's also the inspiring story of a Facebook support group for the survivors of spiritual abuse in Rigpa as they help each other to process the issues raised by the abuse and heal from their experiences.Tahlia Newland shares insights she gained during her role as facilitator of the What Now? Facebook group and blog, the challenges she and others faced, and the realisations they came to in light of their discoveries. The book is a testimony to the resilience, spiritual strength, compassion and wisdom of members of the What Now? group as they navigate unchartered waters together.
