Listen Later

In this captivating episode, Rachel welcomes Sarito Carroll, a former member of the Rajneesh movement, to share her deeply personal journey from childhood within a cult to finding her voice and healing in the outside world. Sarito recounts her experiences growing up in the ashram of Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh, detailing the complexities of being a second-generation member and the challenges she faced as a young girl navigating a world filled with both spiritual celebration and dark secrets.


As Sarito reflects on her upbringing, she discusses the impact of her strained relationship with her mother, the normalization of sexual exploitation within the commune, and the struggle to reclaim her identity after the community's collapse. Rachel and Sarito delve into the themes of trauma, the quest for connection, and the importance of recognizing and validating one’s emotions in the aftermath of cultic experiences.


Sarito's story is a testament to resilience, exploring how she transformed her pain into purpose as a writer. She emphasizes the healing power of art and creativity while also advocating for awareness around the hidden traumas faced by children raised in cults.


Sarito's gripping memoir, In the Shadow of Enlightenment: A Girl's Journey through the Osho Rajneesh Cult, is now available:
