It's a spiritual community takedown
By Jennifer Hoffman
Posted on February 20, 2026
In 2004 I predicted that a new generation of spiritual teachers would eventually take over spiritual training. At the time the spiritual community was dominated by people like Wayne Dyer, Hay House authors, and a few others.
Starting in 2011 the for profit spirit industry began growing (right when Neptune entered Pisces) and I predicted their eventual downfall.
I watched from the sidelines, managing my own business and global audience, as they overran good teachers, people made millions and charged many thousands for fluff and nonsense. James Arthur Ray was charged with murder, and the entire industry became increasingly dark and sordid.
The industry managed to keep most of this secret while their paid actors made millions.
So I was rather surprised when an article appeared in my inbox yesterday , written by Lissa Rankin, a 'spiritual industry' insider, blasting the entire industry. She names names, talks about what happens behind the scenes - it was rather shocking to learn about what has been going on.
You can read the article at this link - but a word of caution. If you are not ready to see your favorite guru(s) fall off of their pedestals, do not read this article. Yes Chopra is mentioned but so are a lot of other people.
This validates and confirms what I have been saying for over 15 years and it's time for these people who have been scamming and grifting the public for years - to go away.
But we won't be without spiritual teachers, mentors, and support because there are many great, soul-led, and talented teachers who have been prevented from being seen and heard by the marketing machines of these industry profiteers.
And that ends now - just as we have a Saturn/Neptune conjunction (for the first time in 7000+ years) that is bringing alignment, ethics, and truth to the spiritual teaching community.
Here is the article by Lissa Ranking at this link. It is long but very eye opening.
It is not the end of spiritual teaching but the beginning of ethical, supportive, and honest support by qualified people.
Not those who are recruited by publishing houses because they are good actors and can be profitable, but those who have a genuine, heart-felt, soul-led mission.
I have said for the past 2 years that Saturn in Pisces would bring spiritual discipline, grounding, and would be a point of reckoning for the spiritual path. And it has been.
Now we move forward and those of you who have a calling, it is time to stand up, speak up, and shine.
Those of us who have been doing this work in our corners for years and who have been overshadowed by an industry that only cared about profit margins and performance, are now vindicated.
If this is your calling the stage is yours - shine on.
Many bright, beautiful blessings,
Jennifer Hoffman
