Shawna Bowen  

With so many questions still unanswered about the James Ray incident, and so many disturbing details coming to light, Shawna is holding another forum for discussion. The media turned to Shawna for her straightforward reports of what she saw the night of the James Ray sweat lodge. They continue to call on her because of her professional experience and her level-headed approach as she calls for James Ray to be accountable for the trauma he caused so many people. Shawna will focus on topics that speak to prevention of this kind of tragedy in the future. She’ll be exploring accountability within the self-help community (for both speakers and participants), the significance of having professional credentials, and the impact of the overwhelming stress that James Ray inflicted upon his participants. Callers are encouraged to participate in the discussion and are requested to keep with the spirit of the call by being constructive. Our condolences and prayers go out to the families of all of those who were hurt by this incident.

In a departure from her usual topic, join Shawna Bowen for a first-hand account of what happened at the recent Sedona retreat with James Arthur Ray. Shawna was on site at the time of the crisis to support the participants and will be sharing her insights into authority- its importance and its pitfalls. Also joining the show is Jim Tree, who has been responsible for the “United Nations Turtle Pipe”, the Ceremonial Pipe presented to the U.N. in 1978. Jim holds this Pipe for ceremonies worldwide representing NALA (Native American Leadership Alliance). Jim will give background about how a traditional sweat lodge is run, as well as give insight into the differences between tradition and what happened at the James Ray event.
