    Celestial Seasonings tea and Shen Yun both have ties to cults. With Celestial Seasonings the cult that founded it no longer own or profit off it thankfully, but their tea is shit so I still don’t recommend buying it.

      Shen Yun doesn’t hide it. Their show is all about Falun Gong. Although they don’t advertise it as such. Went to one of their shows with my wife and mother thinking it would just be about Chinese artistic culture and then BAM - Two hour long Falun Gong propaganda piece.

          Ticket prices are about mid-range relative to other live performance shows in the same category, $100-$200 depending on seating.

          Wife and I saw Hamilton recently and tickets were $300 each, for example.

            I mean they post posters up in every Chinese food restaurant within a major metropolitan area, I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere near Hamilton or even regular theater pricing off that odd advertisement technique…
