Cults, Conspirituality, and Critical Thinking with Matthew Remski

The Scholomance Project

This episode was recorded at an open meeting of the Vancouver Lodge of Education & Research entitled “Cults, Conspirituality, and Critical Thinking”. Master of the Lodge Wes Regan was facilitating and our guest was none other than Matthew Remski.

Matthew Remski is a New-Age cult survivor, activist, and researcher focussed on new religious movements. He is co-host of the wildly successful and influential Conspirituality Podcast and author of “Practice and All Is Coming: Abuse, Cult Dynamics and Healing in Yoga and Beyond” among other titles. His insight into the crossovers between alternative health, COVID-denial and Q Anon are remarkable and disturbing. Both the full presentation and full Q&A are included here for your edification.

Join us on January 29th at 10am Pacific time for a follow up event where Wes Regan, Trevor McKeown and myself will discuss this presentation and entertain further discussion about this content. Sign up for our newsletter to get your invitation.
