We’re excited to announce that Lindy Jacomb will be one of the speakers at Decult Cult Awareness Conference 2024! Lindy co-hosts the Cult Chat Podcast and runs the Olive Leaf Network, an organization dedicated to providing aid and advocacy for former members of high-demand religious groups. Lindy herself is a religious refugee, having been kicked out of her religion—the Exclusive Brethren (Plymouth Brethren)—at just 20 years old. She faced the extreme social punishment of ostracization, being completely cut off from her family and community, a reality that many cult survivors experience when they leave these controlling environments.

In this episode, Lindy delves into her personal journey of leaving the Exclusive Brethren and the challenges of life after a cult. She discusses how shunning, a form of emotional abuse and isolation, is used to punish dissenters, with families being coerced into severing ties to maintain their own salvation. Now, Lindy offers crucial support through the Olive Leaf Network to others who have escaped abusive relationships within high-control religious groups.

As a key speaker at the Decult Cult Awareness Conference, Lindy will share her insights and the powerful stories of other cult survivors. This New Zealand event in Christchurch will feature discussions on cult recovery, religious refugee experiences, and the emotional abuse faced by those leaving such groups.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
