When a NYC journalist's life crashes and burns, she becomes infatuated with a celebrity guru, and begins a wild journey of love and grand larceny. Running from her past, Parker Schafer, hits rock bottom. Her longtime boyfriend dumps her and returns to his ex-wife. In a drug fueled downward spiral, she blows up her career and reputation in a spectacular act of self-sabotage, giving her best friend and boss no choice but to fire her. With nothing to lose, Parker reluctantly tries a remote wellness retreat with the famed Guru Shuroo. Over three days, a diverse group of unlikely characters are brought together through Shuroo's process: digital detox, meditation, gas lighting, mescaline trips... fraud! However, the spell soon lifts and Parker uncovers a story that will expose Shuroo. The scoop could put her back on top! But will she find redemption? THE SHUROO PROCESS explores the dangers of the cultish self-help industry and what it's like to fall prey to its promises of transformation.

Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall A sharply pointed sense of humour infuses this comedy-drama about a frazzled journalist on a self-actualisation weekend. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Benjamin Franz Film Threat Ultimately, a showcase of acting and storytelling comes down to the strength of both the narrative and the performance. The Shuroo Process provides us with wonderful examples of both. Rated: 8/10 Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media This meandering film has strong performances, but the uncommitted plot doesn't definitively answer questions about society's obsession with gurus.
