Asha Parkinson – Possession (ENG review)
When art enriches our hearts and minds, as it does here, one can say that we are in front of an exceptional work, and indeed, this is the case.

How can we measure the benefits of participation in arts-based activities? It seems subjective, but perhaps there are other routes? https://t.co/xzWY3j0FpM

Cults/cult behaviour so insidious, sign of the times right now and a warning indicator. @CatrinNye’s ‘A Very British Cult’ https://t.co/m4hB5HDZI2 is a must-watch!Robert Deikman’s classic vol ‘The Wrong Way Home’ on cult behaviour rings true as ever #commoneverydaytrance

[Catrin Nye @CatrinNye]

18 months ago, I got a call from Dawn saying her boyfriend was trying to escape a life coaching group...that was actually a cult.

It started the weirdest & most fascinating investigation of my career.

A Very British Cult is out now.
