Whistleblowers are often shunned. Luckily for us, it’s actually a good sign of a toxic group. When the priority is protecting the group and not the members of the group, there’s a problem. And it’s an easy one to spot!

Manipulation comes in all kinds of forms— intellectual, emotional, professional.

Look for shunning and a lack of respect for nonmembers. Looks for discrediting. If an organization lacks transparency and accountability, it’s likely toxic.

None of this is normal.

THE SYSTEMATIC DISMANTLING OF DEMOCRACY STANDS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE YOGIC ETHICS OF AHIMSA (NON-VIOLENCE), SATYA (TRUTH-TELLING), ASTEYA (NON-STEALING), BRAHMACHARYA (RIGHT USE OF ENERGY), AND APARIGRAHA (NON-HOARDING). WE ARE HERE, WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
