Howdy Cult Babes, c’mon down to Texas with me this week as we talk about a very bizarre cult known as the Conscious Development of Body Mind and Soul started by a real sicko named Terri Hoffman. By the 1990’s the group was under investigation for multiple mysterious deaths…and at least one confirmed moidah. Buckle up cowboys, you’re in for a long one.
