Dismantling New Age cults, wellness grifters, and conspiracy-mad yogis. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse, and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia. Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it.

Usually love -- but have to disagree with Telepathy Tape episode
24 ene
I listened to the entire telepathy tapes series and I also listen to Conspirituality on a bi-weekly s. This was the first time I felt like the guys totally missed the point and didn't actually listen to the entire series and episodes. It's less about the spelling and more about the telepathy. Even if the facilitator is doing the typing -- how would they all be able to answer unanswerable questions?
Thank you

Thank you so much for your review of The Telepathy Tapes! As someone who is known many nonverbal autistics over the years, your podcast outlined every concern I had about that series and did it with care and eloquence.

Where do I even begin? The ideology offered by this group is incredibly biased at best and maliciously manipulative at worst. The show appears to be run by arrogant hipster types who are desperately trying to stay relevant by publicly shaming anyone and everyone within the natural health community. Their lies by omission become abundantly clear as modern medicine is painted as the heroic savior of humanity, regardless of any corruption or ineffectiveness; and ANY alternative medicine is seen as a shameful scam regardless of its existing evidence base and propensity to help others thrive where conventional medicine has failed. These unsavory individuals prey on far-leftists who are seeking to appear intellectually and morally upright by convincing them that LITERAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS are the worst thing to ever happen to humanity, while turning a blind eye to the serious corruption and endless criminal behavior that exists within the pharmaceutical industry. Just for the record, a search for ‘supplementation’ via the sciencedirect database will yield one million results to date, an undeniable sign that supplementation is not “anti-science.” The folks running this podcast ironically spread harmful misinformation by convincing their audience that western medicine is the only proper way to maintain one’s health. An additional irony exists when one considers that this mindset reflects the ideology of scientism, which is also QUITE cult-like. The hypocrisy is endless. As a PhD candidate in research myself, all I can say is DO NOT SUBSCRIBE to this distorted and incredibly biased smear campaign against holistic medicine. As I’ve witnessed firsthand, these healing modalities can indeed be lifesaving.
Thank you . I feel validated.

Love your show. I am listening to the latest one. I tried to listen to the Telepathy tapes after a few friends found it “ inspiring” and every time I tried got so creeped out. I wondered why? I still don’t know why I feel creeped out as a reaction. I was in a few cults myself back in the day. Not anymore. (An Indian Guru, a Peruvian guru and too many Kundalini classes at one point.) Maybe I wont ever know why it creeps me out these days and then some people love to think in the magical ways still. I just feel “ icky “ these days listening to Telepathy tapes and things like that. Thanks for your show.
