Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Tuesday that both state and federal authorities are investigating Twin Flames Universe, an online group that claims to help people find their “eternal love.”
Search warrants were executed at two residences in Leelanau County, where the group is headquartered, Nessel said.
Twin Flames Universe is run by Jeff and Shaleia Divine and has been the focus of multiple critical documentaries, including on Netflix and Amazon Prime. The group promises to guide followers toward their one true romantic partner—or “twin flame”—through what it describes as a spiritual journey.
According to Nessel, the group is accused of using “coercive control” over its members across the U.S., potentially involving illegal activity. She did not disclose what specific materials investigators were looking for during the searches.
The Associated Press reached out to Twin Flames through its official website, but did not immediately receive a response.
The organization offers a range of products, from a $9.99 Kindle book to an $8,888 “everything package”, which includes hundreds of hours of video content, guided meditations, and spiritual lessons.
In March, Twin Flames Universe issued a public statement defending itself amid growing media scrutiny.
“We take seriously recent allegations implying we wield inappropriate control over our community members,” the statement read. “We are saddened that so much effort has gone into attacking an organization and community founded on love and mutual respect.”
Nessel is asking anyone with relevant information about Twin Flames Universe to contact her office.
