Episode 90 - Inside a New Zealand Wellness Cult with Phil Vine

This week on Cult Chat may surprise our listeners as we talk about energy healing, claims of flying, and deaths tied to a group hidden in plain sight in Te Anau, New Zealand. RNZ journalist Phil Vine joins us after his hit podcast series The Lodge, his deep dive into Phenomena Academy. We unpack the wild claims, what drew people in, and the real impact on those involved. Because this didn’t happen somewhere far away — it happened here. It’s a reminder cults can come in all shapes and sizes, and they might be lurking near you.
