In this powerful episode of Decult Talks, Bec Sonkkila, a survivor of the esoteric tantra yoga school MISA, shares her incredible journey and the vital role she played in bringing their controversial guru, Gregorian Bivolaru, to justice. Bivolaru was arrested in 2023, and Bec’s courage and perseverance were instrumental in exposing the truth behind the Romanian cult that hides behind different names across Europe.
This compelling presentation was recorded live at the first Decult Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand, and produced as a podcast by Plains Media.
Tune in for an inspiring and eye-opening discussion about justice, healing and the fight against cult manipulation.
