Uncover: Escaping NXIVM is a CBC investigative podcast series about the group, its leader, Keith Raniere, and one woman's journey to get out. Its members are responsible for recruiting new members and convincing them to shell out thousands of dollars for Raniere's personal development training. As a result of years of NXIVM training, Edmondson was quite willing to engage in unconventional behaviour in the name of her personal development, she says. Despite her escalating concern about DOS, Edmondson attended an initiation ceremony at a private home just outside Albany in March 2017. Edmondson stands out front of her former NXIVM training centre in Vancouver.
