Description
Breaking the Spell: My Life as a Rajneeshee and the Long Journey Back to Freedom by Jane Stork is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey into and out of a cult. At its core, this story is about the devastating consequences of blind devotion and the struggle to break free from a toxic influence that had taken hold of her life. Born into a conventional Catholic upbringing in post-war Western Australia, Jane Stork embarked on a seemingly ordinary path of marriage and family, only to find herself drawn to the charismatic teachings of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. As she became increasingly devoted to his cause, Jane's life began to unravel, leading her down a dark and ultimately destructive path. With an international arrest warrant hanging over her head, Stork finally confronts the past in this disturbing yet illuminating memoir, which serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of extremism and the importance of individual freedom.
