Ashley and Cam cover Zendik "Arts Farm", a now disbanded Neo-Hippie cult. Jeepers Creepers!
Cam goes over the background of leaders Wulf and Arol, how the cult got started, and how it dismantled after 40 years. Ashley talks about the group's beliefs and practices, including their sex meetings, and the group speculum checks, AKA "speck checks", that the women did before having "dates" (AKA having sex).
The gals also had the pleasure of sitting down with author Helen Zuman, who wrote "Mating in Captivity", about her time at Zendik. Some bits from that fascinating discussion are sprinkled throughout the episode. To hear the full interview, you can join our Patreon, the information is in the episode notes!
