The second day of Decult started with the call from Dame Sue Bagshaw to be kind to our neighbours - to build the connection we all need.

Decult is over. I am exhausted. Here are my thoughts.

How do our brains and relationships bend and shift when there are unspeakably awful experiences to accomodate?

"For children of the community there were only two options - you were either totally fine or you were fucked up. Who wants to be fucked up?"

Much in the same way that we know that vapes are bad for your health, but are yet to prove, we know that cults are bad for your health too.

New Zealand has a cult problem and something needs to change.

The principle needs to be established: We are free to believe, but in practice, no person or organisation in Aotearoa NZ is above the Law.
