Hi JoeI've seen quite a lot of premies leave and become involved in New Age groups here in Australia. One even achieved some notoriety as a New Age guruess of breatharianism until her husband was jailed for fraud and she was exposed on a national television show. She apparently believed she could go without water for a week while being watched 24 hours a day.
While I fit perfectly into your idea about ex-cult members cult hopping seems the more likely scenario though there aren't a lot of 2 hours minimum meditation a day and church every night groups around.
