Many former Osho followers now belong to the group "Miracle of Love" (MOL). MOL teaches spiritual union with nonattachment, nonmonogamy. There is encouragement of free love, group sex, etc. MOL sponsors youth retreats/ Intensives, and have MOL youth houses where there is a lot of sexual acting out, drug use etc, as expression of the Divine Being.

Branches of Santo Daime are mainly in Brazil but there are many smaller groups throughout the world. Unfortunately due to the legal situation in many countries especially regarding DMT - including in the UK - the scene is very underground. But if you ask around - send emails to varoius tour orgs or to suppliers - you will find out who knows what's going on. Good luck.

I belive that the 'tea' is a sacrament - just as alcoholic wine is the sacrament in the COE / Catholic cults. The vine from which the 'tea' is made is thought to be the 'lost' connection between the human race and the Great Spirit (the all pervading Cosmic Consciousness). I believe that Santo Daime refer to the vine as the Queen of the Forest. Whilst the religion is
