Episódio 3: Como criar uma seita | Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga

Na escola de yoga e tantra, as atividades nunca páram. Todas as semanas há palestras, retiros de fim de semana, workshops, congressos e sessões de cinema. O que os alunos não percebem é que o excesso de eventos, ensinamentos e sentimentos tem um objetivo: fazer com que, pouco a pouco, cada um deles se torne cada vez mais dependente do grupo. E que corte laços com a família e com os amigos fora da escola. Com o tempo, e sempre na ilusão de que estão a tomar decisões de livre vontade, vão passar de alunos a discípulos. Vão sujeitar-se a regras cada vez mais restritivas, vão deixar de fazer perguntas e vão tornar-se completamente submissos. Muitos só vão aperceber-se anos mais tarde; outros ainda hoje continuam a rejeitar essa realidade. Mas a verdade é que, ao longo do processo, todos se transformaram em membros da seita criada, passo a passo, pelo romeno Gregorian Bivolaru. "Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga" é o novo Podcast Plus do Observador. É narrado por Daniela Ruah e tem banda sonora original de Benjamim. Pode ouvir semanalmente os episódios de "Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga" na playlist própria do podcast na Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube ou outras plataformas de podcast.

'We can't sit back and do nothing': How ordinary Canadians are pushing back in times of chaos

Are you feeling paralyzed by the firehose of terrible news? We get it. We feel that way, too. So we did what Mr. Rogers always told us to do when we're feeling scared: look for the helpers. On this episode, hear how people just like you are channeling their feelings of helplessness into action, doing small things in the face of big problems. As a school bus driver in Minneapolis, Jodi has watched her bus empty out as four-year-olds of colour are too scared to come to school. Her neighbours won’t leave their house to go to the laundromat. So now Jodi, a Canadian with only a green card, has gas masks by her front door so she can take to the streets in protest against ICE actions in her city. A group of Iranian-Canadians in Calgary are working around-the-clock to help people send messages to loved ones in Iran, during the country's ongoing communications blackout and deadly protests. Their lifeline? Satellite TV. Armin Zarringhalam and Sepidar Valian explain how it’s possible, and what it’s like trying to protest the Islamic Republic in Iran from afar. How do you laugh through a crisis? When Sudanese-Canadian comedian Faris Hytiaa was working on what would become his Juno-nominated album, Homesick, he was more afraid than he's ever been. Every member of his family was in Sudan as the war broke out in 2023, fighting to stay alive and make their way to Canada. Faris shares how the ongoing war in Sudan is impacting his comedy, and his identity. And last week we asked you how you're channeling your feelings of helplessness into action, and we got an earful. From attempting to organize your first benefit concert (with zero experience) to volunteering with refugees, hear what people are doing.

Welcome to Suburban Paradise

A series of episodes quietly created from her parents' garage in the sleepy government city of Ottawa. In an era of well-crafted tightly edited, lushly designed and rigorously vetted (either by the network execs that hold the purse strings, by the powers of the algorithm, or by the monster of our own digital footprint-fueled perfectionism), these new episodes do more than just show the hand of the maker, they extend open palms, bow, kneel and lay foreheads to the ground.

Estreia. "Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga". Episódio 1: É proibido fazer sexo

No início, parece tudo normal. Aliás, parece tudo maravilhoso: o ambiente na escola de yoga e tantra, no centro de Lisboa, é de paz, organização, entreajuda e amor. O grupo vai crescendo, muitos dos alunos mudam-se para o “ashram” e passam a viver em comunidade. Para além de aulas de yoga, têm aulas de tantra. Todos eles seguem um homem, o romeno Gregorian Bivolaru, fundador do movimento internacional a que a escola pertence. É o guru, visto pelos seus seguidores como um verdadeiro mestre espiritual vivo. Mas o que parecia um paraíso vai esconder, na verdade, um mundo de juramentos, rituais de iniciação e muitos segredos. "Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga" é o novo Podcast Plus do Observador. É narrado por Daniela Ruah e tem banda sonora original de Benjamim. Pode ouvir semanalmente os episódios de "Os Segredos da Seita do Yoga" na playlist própria do podcast na Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube ou outras plataformas de podcast.
