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.

I’ve listened to this for a long time and learned a lot from it. I do have to say that I skip the first few minutes every episode because hearing Derek Beres stan for butcher box week after week is 🤢
Great Show

Incredibly important knowledge to arm yourself with in this age of New Age social panics

The hosts break down lots of different events and actors in the New Age market segment (eg. Yogis, self improvement influencers, supplement pushers) and put them in a context of the historical actions, the social circles, and the (lack of) proof for the wild claims many of these actors make. The hosts include former cult members and New Age participants who now see that science is the most reliable way to verify truth, not listening to charismatic sales people while they hawk their wares.
Well said
