Into the Wow
We tend to think of cults as something on the fringes: strange groups, charismatic leaders, people who have lost their way.
Into the Wow turns that idea around. It looks at the patterns of conformity, unquestioned authority and unexamined belief that sit at the very centre of ordinary life, the Cult of Normality, and asks what they cost us.
It isn't an accusation. It's an invitation: back towards mystery, awe and our own inner authority, and towards a life lived in reverence rather than routine.
