Get your tickets to see Psychology of Cults in Indianapolis, IN. Happening on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at Clowes Memorial Hall. Doors open at 7:30 PM.

Gripping. Eye-opening. Thought-provoking. Hosted by renowned cult interventionist Ashlen Hilliard, this gripping live show takes audiences deep inside the world of cults?how they form, why people join, and what it takes to break free. From infamous groups like Jonestown, Heaven?s Gate, and NXIVM to lesser-known but equally insidious organizations, Ashlen unpacks the psychology, manipulation tactics, and hidden dangers that cults use to control their members. But cult influence isn?t always as extreme as the headlines suggest. This show also explores how coercion and abuse can happen in everyday life?within relationships, workplaces, wellness communities, and even social movements. With real-life stories, expert insights, and interactive discussions, audiences will learn to recognize red flags, protect themselves, and understand why people fall under the spell of high-control groups. Whether you?re fascinated, fearful, or just curious, this is the ultimate deep dive.
