My Journey Through the Cultiverse

The video, produced by Luna Studios, Carlsbad, is a synopsis of Nicola's memoir, A Slice of Orange - the highs, lows and in-between. This poem was first performed at the igotout and Tears of Eden Story Jam at the Improv Shop in St. Louis Missouri in October, 2023. The audience was largely composed of cult survivors. Nicola was one of many performers who came together to share their cult experiences in order to promote healing.

Nicola joins Sam to talk about her experience inside the Osho Rajneesh community, a high-control group that doesn't always get the airtime it deserves and what the process of leaving and recovering from that has actually looked like. She speaks openly about the disillusionment that comes when beliefs you once held close begin to fracture, and the particular challenges of rebuilding your sense of self and spirituality in the aftermath.
