Ross and Carrie Meet Isis: Age of Aquarius Edition

Ross and Carrie sit down with original Source Family member Isis Aquarian to talk about the fringe religious group that attracted more than one hundred flower children into the fold in the 60s and 70s. They discuss the late enigmatic leader Father Yod, the central beliefs of the elusive Source philosophy, and former-member accusations never before heard in full. Was The Source Family a utopian ideal, a damaging cult, or something in between?

Ross and Carrie Find the Source Family: Café Gratitude Edition

Ross and Carrie cough up too much money to attend a one-night dinner inspired by the famous Source Family, a hippie-spiritual commune headed by Jim Baker, who owned one of the first health food restaurants in the country, on LA's Sunset Strip. The group functionally dissolved after the death of Baker (AKA Father Yod) in 1975, but a 2012 documentary brought its memory back to life. Now, local vegan restaurant Café Gratitude, which claims inspiration from The Source Family, hosts its own event, honoring Father Yod and his followers... some of whom attend. Plus, we learn all about Café Gratitude's unofficial connection to the "personal growth" corporation Landmark International, and find out who Father Yod wouldn't vote for in 2020.
