Latest News – James Arthur Ray Sweat Lodge Death Investigation

James Arthur Ray tragedy.

More on the James Arthur Ray tragedy.

Here is the latest info on the James Arthur Ray sweat lodge death investigation. I know that this tragedy and its aftermath strike close to home for many readers, so I’ll keep you updated as new information comes out.

One of the survivors of the sweat lodge, who passed out and spent four days in the hospital, is speaking out about her ordeal. The story in the Arizona Sun relates Sidney Spencer’s experience at the sweat lodge and sheds a little light on what was actually going on inside the lodge. You can read the story here.

In another story on the Anderson Cooper 360 blog, a CNN video report reveals that there was similar trouble last year at the same James Arthur Ray event. Click here to watch the video.

It appears that an attendee of last year’s retreat was ready to come forward and report that about 20 people got sick at last year’s sweat lodge ceremony, but changed her mind about appearing on camera at the last minute, saying that she was being pressured by people still loyal to James Ray, and that she was confused and conflicted.

Who isn’t?

These tragic deaths and injuries are almost beyond comprehension.

But apparently this isn’t the first time that James Arthur Ray has had trouble related to his seminars. There have been several stories published recently detailing some other incidents, including a suicide, that happened at events James was running. Here is one of the stories about those incidents from the New York Post.

Will James Arthur Ray survive the backlash of these deaths?

At the moment James is still maintaining his schedule of seminars and talks, and business as usual. In fact, you can even book your spot at next years Spiritual Warrior retreat in Sedona, Arizona. Just $9695 per person.

Hmmmm.

I find myself thinking about some other spiritual leaders and wondering what their reaction would be if these deaths had occurred during one of their events. Would they still be planning and accepting registrations for next years event?

Or would they stand up and do the right thing?

Or what if this happened at an event that I was leading? Would I continue on? Or would I shift gears and focus my energy on cooperating with authorities to try to discover what went wrong?

Would I stand up and do the right thing?

Would you?

I’ll keep you posted as I learn more!

Peace,

Bob
