How to Survive a Cultpocalypse: A Reading + Q&A with Dr. Sabrina Hadeed

Join Dr. Sabrina Hadeed — therapist of 20 years, feminist coach, child-centered divorce expert, part-time professor, and author of the satirical field guide How to Survive a Cultpocalypse: A Psychonaut’s Guide to the Spiritual Galaxy — for a lively reading, interactive Q&A, and experiential gathering.

Think of it as your blueprint for surviving a spiritual zombie apocalypse — where the zombies aren’t brain-eaters, they’re ego-driven gurus, spiritual influencers centering themselves, and transformational leaders who promise meaning, connection, and ultimate truth.

Sabrina’s witty, sharp book explores how cultish dynamics sneak into everyday spaces: wellness communities, psychedelic work, personal growth circles, even intimate relationships.

This event invites you to have fun while examining serious questions:

• Why do we crave leaders who promise certainty?
• How can you sharpen your bullshit detector?
• What does ethical, non-coercive leadership actually look like?
• And most importantly — how do you avoid becoming the thing you’re trying to escape?

Expect audience participation, laughter, and maybe even a vote on whether Sabrina herself is giving off cult leader vibes. Will she show up in ethically sourced mala beads coordinated with a flowy linen cape, a power pantsuit, or blowing bubbles blessed by a thousand butterflies? (You’ll have to come to find out — FYI, she’s still waiting for the cosmic download to advise, but she’s leaning toward butterflies.)

For seekers, skeptics, therapists, and anyone wanting to navigate modern spiritual chaos with humor, humility, and heart.
