Cults&Culture is a forum for engaging dialog about the role of power, authority and control in groups. The next monthly meeting is September 3, 2019 at Morristown Centennial Library, 20 Lower Main St, Morrisville VT from 5:30 – 7 pm and is free and open to the public. The mission of Cults&Culture is to promote recognition and understanding of destructive power dynamics and strives to support individuals through education and increased awareness about the potential dangers in unscrupulous groups of all kinds.
Everyone who has a sincere interest in how misused power can cause harm is welcome to participate in this respectful community dialog. Each month, there is a different topic to start off the discussion.
The September 3rd meeting will explore how many destructive cults take a stance of being "above the law", adhering to philosophical ideologies (or the leader's whims) that excuse them from normal consequences of illegal or immoral activities. A brief presentation will be given on this topic and then the floor will be opened for facilitated discussion.
The group is facilitated by Cult Awareness Educators Gerette Buglion of Hyde Park VT, and Mark Laxer of Cambridge VT, author of Take Me for a Ride, Coming of Age in a Destructive Cult. Both facilitators have previous experience in a cultic group and are motivated to raise awareness and educate others in the Morrisville community and beyond.
The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month
from 5:30-7pm at the Morrisville Library
