TRIGGER WARNING - SENSITIVE MATERIAL WITHIN THIS EPISODE REGARDING SEXUAL ABUSE. PLEASE LISTEN WITH DISCRETION.

In this episode, I speak to the author of "The Serpent Rising - A Journey of Spiritual Seduction". Mary Garden penned this memoir in regards to her experiences within India and beyond, spending time with various groups and eventually setlling by the Himilayan jungle to give her life to a man known as Swamiji. Little did Mary know at the time that this supposed enlightened being would take everything from Mary, leaving her to piece together her life long after she escaped his abusive clutches.
