About this Event

The Psychology of Cults

Richard Turner has been working as a specialist cult recovery therapist and cult psychology consultant for seven years (www.tothinkagain.co.uk).

Join him at Up A Level York Gaming Lounge on April 8th and April 15th for a two-part event diving into what makes cults tick. We'll explore the psychological tricks and social dynamics that pull people in and keep them hooked. This event will give you insights into cult psychology in a relaxed, informal setting. Don’t miss out on this eye-opening experience!

PART ONE (April 8th 7pm-9.30pm)
Richard will share his own experiences of cult involvement and explain how people get recruited.

PART TWO (April 15th 7pm-9.30pm)
Richard will discuss the psychology of brainwashing and persuasion, and how people escape.

Please arrive for 6.30pm

Alcoholic drinks, other refreshments, and food will be available to purchase on the evening.

Tickets are £28 per person and cover part one and part two. Please show your ticket when you arrive at both events. You can pay on the night but booking is advised because if the event is full you may be turned away.

(Please use the Feasegate entrance.)

NOTE: This event is about a topic that some people may find distressing.
