When she joined the Buddhafield community, it was a near utopia. When she left decades later, it was a cult led by a twisted, narcissistic, abusive guru. Seattle Tonight welcomes Radhia Gleis as she tells us about her upbringing, time in the Buddhafield cult, and interactions with Jaime, the guru.The Buddhafield Cult – “A spiritual community that started in Florida, moved to LA, then to Austin, and finally landed in Hawaii.
