DECULT Cult Awareness Conference Tickets

Join us to learn all about cults, including the latest research and powerful stories. Meet the experts, listen to the victims, be part of the change!

The first Decult Conference in New Zealand offers a space for connection, professional networking and support. Attendees will spend a weekend with authors and educators, academics and counsellors, cult survivors and their advocates as they share their expertise and personal stories.

Mental health workers, doctors, social services, educators and law enforcement are especially welcome to upskill in cult education.

35 speakers, 20+ sessions - check www.decult.net for more info.

We have limited concession tickets for full-time students and community services card holders – and additional meal tickets for the Saturday conference (more info below).
