Join us for a literary event featuring three authors discussing kids raised in cults, recovering from authoritarian influences, and the relevance of this topic today. Memoirist Sarito Carroll, renowned cult expert Dr. Janja Lalich, and journalist Anke Richter will present insights from their books, which will be on sale. The discussion will be hosted by Dhyana Levey, who will record her podcast “Generation Cult” live at the event.

We are celebrating the release of Sarito’s memoir, "In the Shadow of Enlightenment", detailing her abusive upbringing in the Osho Rajneesh cult 40 years after the collapse of the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon.
