Thinking Agenda LLC  is the umbrella company for many of our projects that are about cults and critical thinking. Founded by Steven and Debra Van Neste, and home based in Orlando, Florida.  After the success of their anti-cult publication "Ethics and The Modern Guru" they decided it was time to branch out and invest to be a real company that can offer genuine engagement, education and advocacy.  For now we invite you to our social media platforms, so you can get to know us better and what we do. We will be expanding this site, and if you are interested in writing for us and having your articles on several of our platforms, contact us at admin@thinking-agenda.com 

“Art is Heart” is the theme for our new online art co-op.   

We are have up a Butterfly Boutique on Facebook and through our website to raise funds. 50% of all funds from the Butterfly Boutique. In the near future we hope to set a legal trust to help cult victims get recovery options.  Funds from this shop will also go to expenses towards traveling as inexpensively as possible, to seminars and educational venues, to build a library, and to update on the most inexpensive minimum scale, electronics and equipment. Thinking Agenda is a legally registered LLC in Orlando Florida,  Thinking Agenda was started primarily as an anti cult educational organization, but we work with non profits, educators, therapists and experts. Survivors of cults need resources and skills on many levels. ​

Please visit GuruEthics.com to learn and order or magazine on cults and CultsCults.com for more information on cults, and our work and events.

Thank-you for your interest.
