Ingrasci is now President of the Hoffman Institute, an organization founded in 1967 and also part of the human potential movement which offers programs which are similar to Lifespring's."

Sounds like the Hunger Project is a a bit of a scam too.
"IN 1977, EST GURU Werner Erhard had a vision: He was going to end world hunger by 1997. To that end, he started the Hunger Project, a nonprofit that quickly picked up celebrity sponsors including John Denver, Valerie Harper, and Jimmy Carters son Chip. But, as Mother Jones reported in December 1978, the group had no intention of actually feeding the starving, just raising awareness of hungerand est."
