Sweat Lodge fraud leads to 3 deaths

James Arthur Ray faces up to 11 years in prison for running sweat lodges for huge profit:

"But those attending the Spiritual Warrior retreat did not know that Ray already was being accused of misappropriating and misusing others' teachings without permission or proper training. They did not know that his claims to have been initiated into three shamanic traditions, gaining expertise in a variety of spiritual and esoteric teachings, were either exaggerations or questionable.

And they did not know that Ray's way of running a sweat lodge violated the spiritual and safety practices of the Native American traditions he claimed to follow."

"the Q’ero medicine man Don Jose Luis, who supposedly initiated Ray after three years of study in Peru, is not a medicine man at all"

Rather like the fake claims of Keisha Crowther, about the fictional man "Falling Feathers" that no Salish or 'Sioux' folk have ever heard of and is (according to Keisha) now dead so conveniently cannot be questioned!

It really is time for an end to New Age Fraud!
