Madison Marriage hears of another death, one that happened five years before Jacqui’s. Was the Goenka network aware of the dangers of intensive meditation? Marriage asks what the organisation is doing, if anything, to protect people from harm.
For support or more information about adverse meditation experiences, take a look at the Cheetah House website (https://www.cheetahhouse.org).
