On June 21, 2021, I wrote an article about Tony Quinn and Educo.
Recently, several people have requested I write stories and provide a forum for those who claim to have had bad experiences with Quinn or Educo.

I went to a Tony Quinn seminar. The guy helping him run the seminars – Jim Fitzgerald – was more interested in chatting up the women in the group.
Tony Quinn has a group of people around him – like Aideen Cowman and her cronies. They operate like a cult.
They recruit people and pay them to go after those who have attended seminars, but may have gone in a different direction. They pay these people to follow and mess with their heads….
Shiela McCaffrey, who was involved in an oil deal in Belize, spoke about this in one of her posts. People followed her constantly, and she thought she was going mad.
Susan Morrice turned on her and arranged to plant drugs in her house because she refused to sign massive shares in the oil company to Tony Quinn…
I want to hear from ALL who have experienced their mafia-type behavior. People follow you, tracking your every move, making your working environment miserable, and hacking your emails, phone, and computers. You start to question your own sanity.
Let’s start peeling back these layers and exposing these EVIL people for who they are and what they do.
Let’s start talking and gathering our group to bring down Aideen Cowman, Martin Forde, Susan Morrice, and Co.
Remember, this money is coming from Jersey into Ireland and the UK.
Please tell your story. Let’s start talking and taking action. Then that’s where you come in, Frank. This is a massive story to crack and bring to the attention of the law.
Please post your experiences. There is strength in numbers. There must be hundreds, if not more, of you out there. Frank, I’d like you to be our center point of contact.
What is Educo and Tony Quinn?
Educo, founded by Tony Quinn, operates out of the Bahamas but has agents for “EDUCO Enlightenment Seminars,” in New York, Fort Lauderdale, and Denver.
Educo, Quinn says, comes from the Latin word “for education meaning to draw out from within.”
People have claimed Educo operates like a cult.
- coercive-control
- cut off contact with their friends and family
- Sexual-assaults, Quinn claims he was awakening women’s kundalinis.
- Pressure on members not to speak out.
- Ex-members saying they are afraid to speak out.
Tony Quinn, 78, was born in Dublin. He lives on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
An Educo website describes him:
Dr. Tony Quinn is a world leading expert in the areas of health, wellness, human potential and mind technology. Dr. Quinn is the pioneering mind behind The EDUCO® Model.
In his younger days, he said he was a butcher, bouncer, ice cream salesman, bodybuilder, hypnotherapist, and psychological trainer.
He claims he has a Master of Science degree from the University of East London, where he majored in psychotherapy, modeling (Designing Models), and programming, and a “doctorate” in Clinical Hypnotherapy (State Approved, California, USA),

There are so-called recruits who Educo pays to follow people or mess with their heads. Another person is Susan Hayes… She went on seminar and the Educogym training and she is now receiving money from Educo to follow people and report back to them. This stuff sounds crazy, but it actually goes on. They are doing this for years. Headed up by Aideen Cowman and Susan Morrice.
Susan Morrice
Aideen Cowman supposedly does “absent healing” on people.
People send her money and requests for her to work on. One look at this woman, and anyone would know she comes from the other side. She is dark and scary looking.
Fairgamed Educo Nobody
I haven’t been aware of much of what is going on in EDUCO’s homeland. I do have contacts there, but since the court-cases 2012-2014, EDUCO has seemingly gone to ground. But I know they are still recruiting there:.
I worked with Babu Shah, when he imported EDUCO into the UK and covertly recruited in my workplace. On finding out Manj Weerasekera was exposed online in 2017 for covertly recruiting for EDUCO, I have been able to piece together some of what has been going on here in the UK.
Many people involved in recruitment here in the UK are listed here.
I was informed early on in my discoveries, on finding out about EDUCO in 2020, that new recruits are groomed, and often it is only after they have paid £5K that they are told it’s EDUCO & “Dr.” Tony Quinn.
EDUCO hasn’t just recruited covertly, though; as can be seen in this post from 2018. I found Meet-Up “Events” on the subject of “Enlightenment” (much like Mary Ann Malone’s groups above) what were attended by recruiter Alexandra Weerasekera.
I have been pulled into a London Police Station this year (EDUCO members like calling the police about me) and told by one officer that EDUCO is “about wellness”, which I find a ridiculous statement: https://www.reddit.com/r/cults/comments/xpilw2/today_an_officer_for_the_met_police_told_me_educo/ . I am not sure what it is with the Met Police and Cults!
I have been told of multiple serious sexual assaults in EDUCO dating back to the 1970s. A verified member of the communes in the 1970s told how a child who joined the commune when she was 4 had sex with the commune-“Guru” Tony Quinn by the time she was 17.
I have heard privately more disturbing… I know most members are wary of associating publicly with their group. Some even conceal their association until their new recruit has paid thousands for the “Enlightenment Seminar”, where they are assured they will become enlightened in 20 seconds!
Listen to Madness Madness episode on Educo (from 10min 30sec onward).

Thank you for your very good work Frank.
Can I ask, did the class B shareholders for the oil company ever recieve any dividends.
I do not know. I have meaning to find out. somehow I doubt it.
Frank I have sent you an email on your Gmail. Can you check please. I need to contact you. Tomas
Yes.
Honestly this guy make a lot of sense. Tap into the subconscious mind and get to be Super You. I would consider taking his course.
More fool you
It’s absolutely a cult– the tactics are so clear. RUN– Far and fast and don’t look back. Then call Frank Parlato.
Totally agree. Only problem these people are relentless.
I will write a proper comment in the coming days as Frank’s article has had an impact.
When Frank published his first article (https://frankreport.com/2021/06/21/a-cult-similar-to-nxivm-a-man-similar-to-raniere-meet-tony-quinn-of-educo/ ) on June 21 2021 (a Monday I recall) I was ecstatic and remain very grateful. (I know other ex-EDUCO members are similarly impressed with Frank and his insight into these types of groups.)
But what happened on the Sunday later that week of Frank publishing was the beginnings of some very strange events. I was taken from my flat in the afternoon and driven by 3 Police officers to Charing Cross Police Station. I was held in cells for 25 hours and placed in front of a magistrate. When the CPS were asked to present evidence as to why I was there they responded they had no evidence and I was released, with a condition to not tweet about a forthcoming trial.
Whilst waiting for my turn in front of the magistrate my solicitor asked me about someone who was claiming I had called them, bothering them. I told them I had done no such thing. All I could remember was a phone call I had from Pam Sidhu on May 4 2021. She had called me asking why I was tweeting about her and EDUCO. She denied knowing anything about EDUCO which I found out later to be a lie. I have written this up here: https://educouk.com/pam-sidhu/
What I later found out was Sidhu’s husband Ranjeev Singh Sidhu (https://educouk.com/ranjeev-singh-sidhu/ ) renamed his company that same week from “The Enlightenment Project Ltd” to “The Exec Branch Ltd”.
Other events have happened, such as a chap called Peter Loy (brother of Declan Loy) sending me late night messages of an insulting nature in October 2021. Peter did explain he had attended the EDUCO Seminar.
I’d love to compare notes on harassment by EDUCO members from others who have been subjected to it.
(Note: The EducoWorld subreddit remains “Banned” by Reddit for the reason of “Spam”, although it did interest Cory Doctorow enough to retweet about it. Doctorow was an associate of Aaron Swartz who co-founded Reddit. Luckily most of the content is archived on archive.org, https://web.archive.org/web/20221211121212/https://www.reddit.com/r/EducoWorld/ . The recent video I posted online of me visiting a Tony Quinn residence to wish Tony Quinn a Happy-New-Year isn’t archived and I’d like to share with Frank.)
“Life force”? “Qi energy”? “Mind technology”? Anyone who believes this shit needs to have their head examined.
“Quinn rebranded in the 1990s as a business guru and began mind-coaching seminars …
… As Quinn says: “Bill Gates transformed the world through computers. My vision is to transform the world through mind technology.”
