We as the real Sweat lodge people warn those who run Inipis (sweatlodges_ not to play with things that take a lifetime to learn how to run them safely. you have to know how to run them for people with health issues. such as diebites, asthma, bad hearts ect. we tell people NOT to run them without trianing-which takes years to learn. but they see that some people will pay and thier they go taking chances with people lives. and this is what happens. you should never have more then one circle inside

@SSSGreekGoddess No she's not trying for an oscar, she is genuinely shocked and trying to explain what happened after being brainwashed by a cult.

[0808SCOOTER]

she said no one could leave when the door was closed, how stupid is that,,, if you know your life or some one elses life is in danger you would do what ever it takes to get out.

its all most like she is brain washed,, if your leg was on fire you wouldnt expect a stranger to put out the fire you would do it your self,

James Ray found guilty.

This lady is trying for an oscar....Seriously your a doctor and you would not use better judgement and assess your surroundings and jump in to do CPR? or pull someone out that is having difficulty breathing or serious issues? I have been in a sweat lodge and I would do it in a heartbeat again. I thought it was the best feeling and experience ever.

The sweat lodge is a sacred ceremony to seek balance! and sometimes healing!..its what we as human beings have trouble keeping!!..it is a place of spirituality!..a place to go to if you need guidance, help..the man who ran this lodge didnt know what he was doing or he was in the for the money!!...the door should be opened if somebody asks for it..its not a place for test of endurance!..its true once the ceremony has started it has to be finished..but nobody should have to suffer!!!

[kushak47]

i dont think the guy knew what he was doin with the bundles he was carrying or what spirits he was calling native medicine is strong and shouldnt be messed with

[spinnerettetee]

See what a white person doesn't know what their doing! thats karma playing back at them....never go into sweat lodge with a whiteman trying to be native* dayum fools

Really, 5 & 6 rounds? Lodges are only supposed to go 4 rounds to honor the 4 intervals of the seasons, the elements & ect. A round further than those 4 rounds is considered a Windigo-con round. This guy clearly had no clue of the teachings behind the sacred ceremony & of what he was doing.
