__________QUOTE______________________ About Us History Trellis House was purchased in February 2007 after a year of dreaming and searching by Marc and Rebekah Beneteau. Rebekah had been living for 5 years, and Marc 3 years, in the Yonkers Morehouse, and we both had taken a lot of courses with the Lafayette Morehouse (previously More University). The experience of living in the comm

Its better if the new Trellis House information goes into the OneTaste Victor Baranco thread, otherwise it gets lost over time. Also, that thread was merged, so it begins with posts by Marc Beneteau about Baranco and Daedone, where Beneteau is putting out all sorts of false and self-serving disinformation.

It appears that the same Trellis House that was run by Marc Beneteau who posted in this very forum has been shut down by the authorites His wife Rebekah Beneteau is mentioned in the article. Here is Marc Beneteau running his Victor Baranco apologetics and deceptive tactics. Notice how Marc Beneteau was directly identified for what he was doing, and challenged right here in this for

Fascinating how Reese Jones bio at Singularity University, states he actually is connected with Wikipedia. As shown in this thread, Wikipedia does NOT have an entry on Reese Jones, which is outrageous, as he is a huge player in that industry. So he appears to be just unfamous enough with the general public, for a wikipedia entry under his name to somehow NOT be allowed, to keep away the nosy p

a college paper Spartan Daily, has spoken out criticizing OneTaste, and quoting Reese Jones, and Nicole Daedone.

virtually every dubious group has used those methods to strip people's identities down to the core. They have been breaking people down like this since the 1960's. Also, they train them, that they can be "happy" with nothing. So the next step is to live with nothing, hand everything over the group, and work for no-pay.

Each day they add a few more misleading promotional statements, and even actual lies to the OneTaste wikipedia promotional advertisement. For example, trying to distance themselves from Victor Baranco, when Robert Kandell has been proven to have said Nicole Daedone studied Victor Baranco for 7 years. Now they are trying to pretend that never happened. That is called a lie, in the world of reali

another aspect of this goes back to Victor Baranco and his "sexual experiments" and "research" on human subjects. It is now proven, that human sexuality involves a very high amount of brain plasticity. (neuroplasticity). That is, human behavior and emotions around sexuality can be conditioned with behavioral conditioning, to a very great degree. (this is how extreme sexual f

its interesting about the Plug-n-Play people, even the NYT fluff-piece referred to Baranco as an "appliance salesman". Plug and Play indeed.

Here is the text from Jan. 2006 where Robert Kandell from OneTaste states that Nicole Daedone studied Victor Baranco for 7 years. "She has spent the last seven years devoting her energy to the work of Dr. Victor Baronco, founder of More University."

Another thing that is comical, is that Daedone stated to the NYT, that her Guru was in fact Ray Vetterlein, and not Victor Baranco. Well, do a Google search for...

OneTaste has gotten a lot of blog-press from their NYT article. Unfortunately, some of the analysis of it, is not too deep! Like many things, they seem to take what is said at face value. OneTaste says its all about the female orgasm and sensuality. Is it? Or is it much more complex than that? OneTaste is a for-profit business corporation. But they market it like a "commune". Its

The OneTaste wikipedia entry (lie) that said Daedone studied "briefly" with Vic Baranco has been undone, which is good. But it does prove, there are OneTaste members who are trying to rig the Wikipedia entry for OneTaste with false information, as much as they can get away with. Why are they so dishonest?

SFBMoore, thank you for the info. Its helpful when former people of a group are able to take the time to write out some of the details of a group. That will help a lot of people over time.

yeah, if you read those threads, its very clear that HAI teaches people to conceal and lie to the "outside world" about what is going on in there.

The People Farm reference is important in this story. On the People Farm homepage, there is the quote that the Ranch is a "human relations laboratory."
