Welcome to indoctrination, a weekly conversation series about protecting yourself from systems of control.

I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.

Hi, everybody. Thanks as always to our supporters on Patreon, who helped to keep this show available as a public resource for those

affected by cultic abuse. Thanks also to the few organizations who have stepped up to sponsor

the show, and one of those organizations we are proud to be working with, is the decult

conference happening soon in New Zealand. Today's guest is actually a featured lecturer at the

event founded by Anka Richter, who you heard from, as a guest here a few months back. Here's Anka

again to tell you a bit more about the event. Kiyoda, I'm Anke Richter who wrote the bestseller cult trip and I'm bringing you an exciting event.

Get ready for DeCalt 2024, the first cult awareness conference in New Zealand, happening in Christchurch this October.

Are you worried about a friend or family member who's in a group that may be causing

them harm or do you have your own story? Then join us for a weekend with experts from around the

world where those who've left county groups can share their experiences and meet professionals

who can help them. Head to our website, decoult.net, for all the info.

Thanks again to Unka and to DeCult for their support.

If you are part of an organization that might be interested in sponsoring the show,

please reach out to us at Endoctrination Show at gmail.com for more information.
