A 38-year-old New York woman who died after sitting in a sauna-like sweat lodge at a scenic Arizona resort was an avid surfer and hiker who was “in top shape,” took self-improvement seriously and had a passion for art, a family spokesman said. (Oct. 11)

You are a sad individual, really. Get a life. What did the Europeans do for this world? It’s falling apart.

Sad and tragic. New …
Sad and tragic. New Age wants to absorb other culture’s knowledge, but gets it all wrong. These things are not about self-improvement in that sense. In a traditional Native American context, nobody is considered worth more for doing ascetic religious practices. It is wrong and irresponsible to discourage people from leaving a sweat lodge when they are unwell. Putting 10,000 bucks on the table and want to become whatever in ten days is wrong. Sweat lodges are a place of prayer, not shopping.

I’m 45 years-old …
I’m 45 years-old and I’ve been thinking a lot about money lately. I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT, WANTING IT, CHASING AFTER IT, INVESTING IT, WORSHIPING IT!!
I’ve spent a lot of time opening up to the truth of who I really am. I think if we’re living an honest, happy, healthy life, money naturally flows to and from us without constantly OBSESSING about it!

Every time I watch …
Every time I watch the video of the creepy sweat lodge, I’m reminded of Jonestown and all of the bloated bodies.
I think Ray had good intentions, but perhaps his arrogance and stupidity got in the way!

I’m sorry to say, …
I’m sorry to say, but this is usually what happens when people have money and yet wanted ways to have more. It is indeed greed and lack of sense that lead these people to almost a predictable death. When these things are done to poor people, they normally call it “TORTURE”

Pathic is all I can …
Pathic is all I can say about this. Miss use of a person’s culture has its threats. When its used for personal gain such as this unfortinate insident. If no one has the believe nor backgound knowledge of how to handle a “sweat lodge” they will be punished. This is a sacret ceremony n only a medicin man or healer can handle the ceremony, its not to be toyed with. Unfortunally innocent lives were lost because of rays mistake n I do hope he gets what he deserves. My prayers go out to the family.

I totally agree Mig this guy Ray prayed on these peoples vulnerabilities, very similar when the in the 1800′s sellers would sell people snake oil telling them its a cure all. I call for first degree murder charges against Ray no death penalty I want him to rot in prison for wat he did!

Sticky this is not the time or place to belittle the people and families of the ones killed and injured grow up.

That’s what happens …
That’s what happens when
“NON NATIVES” take our culture and mis use it… Not even just any Native American can do a sweat lodge. You have to know the culutue, the langauge, natural medicines, and to know how to run a sweat lodge. This is spitritual and not for someone to make money off of. The guy that ran this sweat lodge should be charged with reckless homicide,
