Hits home pretty hard. My partner is (was more so) into some quite new age, alternative health, alternative culture topics. Most of the content related was engaged via Instagram feeds, which transitioned to stories (which feels worse, as it’s ephemeral, historical statements can not be held to).
Plenty of these ideas have a kernel of truth, there’s something there, but where the journey leads is a state of delusion.
Every yoga / women’s workshop she comes back from there was always someone (another participant often) who propositioned her with an MLM / pyramid scheme of some kind. Wrapped in the language / topic of the workshop.
