This gripping live show takes audiences deep inside the world of cults, how they form, why people join, and what it takes to break free. From infamous groups like Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, and NXIVM to lesser known but equally insidious organizations, Ashlen unpacks the psychology, manipulation tactics, and hidden dangers that cults use to control their members. But cult influence is not always as extreme as the headlines suggest. This show also explores how coercion and abuse can happen in everyday life within relationships, workplaces, wellness communities, and even social movements. With real life stories, expert insights, and interactive discussions, audiences will learn to recognize red flags, protect themselves, and understand why people fall under the spell of high control groups. Whether you are fascinated, fearful, or just curious, this is the ultimate deep dive into one of society's most mysterious and controversial phenomena.
