I am never going to a self-help seminar, now
Absolutely terrifying. After listening to the first episode it’s like being immersed in Cult Running 101. Physical isolation, head-shaving (to divest any sense of individuality), peer pressure/gaslighting, LITERALLY coming out in a robe whilst saying “I am god” and “killing” people, food/water deprivation. It’s all so obvious when listening to the retelling—it makes me wonder what the lead up could have possibly been to lock these people in. (I suppose “pay $10,000 for a retreat” is a good indicator of who’s vulnerable, but wow).

Please, Post all episodes! I did watch a documentary on Netflix about this but to be honest Wondery really does a great job presenting this story. It’s captivating and keeps me interested and wanting more! I love everything by Wondery!

It’s not right to allow stars on a podcast that has no episodes. Cmon now.
