Lecture: Haliburton County Community Cooperative presents Telling Our Speaker Series - "Life Inside a Cult of Obedience" with Sarah Patrick beginning at 7:00 pm at HHOA Fish Hatchery (6712 Gelert Rd., Haliburton, K0M 1S0). Sarah Patrick's book "Binding Shame: Life Inside a Cult of Obedience" is a profoundly moving memoir that delves into the life experiences of children raised in cult-like environments, highlighting victimization and the shift to becoming victimizers in adulthood. She shares her teenage years at Grenville Christian College in Ontario, connected to the Community of Jesus sect in Cape Cod, where discipline involved humiliation, shame, and physical punishment. She also looks back on returning as a teacher and recognizing her own role in the punitive system, all while dealing with media reports of abuse and a class action lawsuit brought by the former students. Cost: $15. For more information and tickets, visit https://tellingourstories.company.site/.
