    Renee's Ris-What comes after?
    Jan 8 2026

    Two years after deeply deconstructing the Unification Church with fellow 2nd-gen survivors, I’m asking the hard question: what comes after?
    We unpacked the systems of coercive control using Robert J. Lifton’s 8 criteria of thought reform. Now, I’m exploring what comes after—through the lens of curiosity, reformation, integration, and personal sovereignty.

    R-Reformation

    I-Integration

    S-Sovereignty

  • Open heart with Karin part 3 of 3

    Open heart with Karin part 3 of 3
    Nov 23 2023
    This is part 3 of my interview with Karin. Karin was born and raised in the Unification church AKA the moonie cult and is here to talk about it. We start off talking about the the labor trafficking program disguised as a "providential course" or right of passage, known as "special task force" and what that really means. The story then travels headlong into Moon's mansion - East Garden in Tarrytown New York, where an 18 year old Karin is thrust into a 3 day matching and marriage. This is the end of part 3, but the beginning of many new roads. Be sure to follow Karin on instagram at @karinshimo and look out for her podcast! https://gofund.me/d0d49df7
