Conspirituality takes a deep dive into the troubling phenomenon of
influencers who have curdled New Age spirituality and wellness with
the politics of paranoia—peddling vaccine misinformation, tales
of child trafficking, and wild conspiracy theories. In the early
days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disturbing social media trend
emerged: a large number of yoga instructors and alt-health
influencers were posting stories about a secretive global cabal
bent on controlling the world’s population with a genocidal
vaccine. Instagram feeds that had been serving up green smoothie
recipes and Mary Oliver poems became firehoses of Fox News links,
memes from 4chan, and prophecies of global transformation. Since
May 2020, Derek Beres, Matthew Remski and Julian Walker have used
their Conspirituality podcast to expose countless facets of the
intersection of alt-health practitioners with far-right conspiracy
trolls. Now this expansive and revelatory book unpacks the follies,
frauds, cons and cults that dominate the New Age and wellness
spheres and betray the trust of people who seek genuine relief in
this uncertain age. With analytical rigor and irreverent humor,
Conspirituality offers an antidote to our times, helping readers
recognize wellness grifts, engage with loved ones who've fallen
under the influence, and counter lies and distortions with insight
and empathy.
