How Not To Start A Cult

Don’t be a guru - don’t be a follower! Cult proof yourself by learning about red flags in the self-development and wellness scene and about coercive group dynamics.

Everyone is susceptible to seduction and manipulation, but it’s not so obvious how that works. Becoming more cult informed (and dropping some misconceptions) is as important as learning about consent and trauma. It's the next frontier for creating safety for transformation and personal growth.

After an international tour and a sold-out event in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, “Cult Trip” author Anke Richter will bring this fascinating forum to Pōneke/Wellington. It’s part engaging talk and part discussion, based on her research about sexual abuse in spiritual disguise and her personal experience with many new-age groups. The event is suited for facilitators as well as anyone interested in workshops, trainings or festivals.
