About this episode

Andrew Cohen, international spiritual teacher and founder of Evolutionary Enlightenment, a community which became a proper cult, joins us today to discuss the death and rebirth of his community and self. We discuss:


  • The awakening of the guru principle
  • Core techniques of ecstasy and shared states of consciousness
  • Andrew’s regrets and how his downfall led him back to teach from a place of humility


We held nothing back in this interview. This is Andrew’s side of the story.
