The Psychology of Cults

  • Festival Place 100 Festival Way Sherwood Park, Alberta, T8A 5T2 Canada (map)

Cult investigator Mike King brings his live show to Festival Place, taking audiences inside how cults form, why people join, and what it takes to leave.

The show covers well-known groups like Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, and NXIVM, alongside lesser-known ones like the FLDS, unpacking the psychology and manipulation tactics behind them.

Mike also looks at how coercion and control show up outside of headline-grabbing cults — in relationships, workplaces, wellness communities, and social movements — through real stories, expert insight, and audience discussion.
