Breaking the Spell

Breaking the Spell is a free Illuman online offering inspired by Gerald May’s most sought-after work, Addiction and Grace. This 7-week online course and discussion group explores the learned patterns of behavior, often called “addictions” or “attachments,” that everyone develops over time, and how to move past them into a new chapter of life. Its teaching divides into three areas of learning, sharing, and growth: Assessment, Acceptance, and Awakening.

This program is for anyone and everyone who wants to explore learned patterns of behavior, addictions, and attachments.

Quotes from Past Participants:

"Addiction is often a very difficult subject to approach. A beautiful strength of this program is the slow introduction of three phases of Assessment, Acceptance, and Awakening."

"It was really wonderful to witness participants share their stories of struggle and the wisdom they were able to glean from it. There is so much wisdom in this group."

"This program came along at a time when I'm facing old behavior patterns and attachments, learning to love and accept myself in them, and releasing control to allow grace to do the healing. The perspectives shared in council and the resources provided encouraged me to keep moving through the process and lean into forgiveness along the way. I'm feeling lighter and more accepting of where I am."

"The inner work of finding healing from the attachments we have built is, without a doubt, what transformation is all about."
