概要

Can there be a cult without a camera pointed at it? Mike and Merinda have asked this question a lot and it is central to this week's documentary. The Cult of the Soulful Journey tells the story of a new age group based in Minnetonka, Minnesota organized around new age teacher and channeler Soulaire Allerai. The documentary depicts Soulaire as a controlling and charismatic "cult leader." But why? Along the way we hear from former members Rik and Bil, who found themselves in the group while helping Soulaire produce a video game. We also hear the story of Rachel Raines who joined as a psychic medium along with her son David. Along with this cast of characters, the documentary gives the audience all the usual cult tropes from brainwashing to interesting beliefs to communal living and weird sex stuff.
