So, this charlatan jackass douchebag in Sedona charges $9,000 to participate in a sweat ceremony, only - surprise! - he doesn't !$#@%^%@^% know what he's doing and two people die. Story here. There were 50 people in that lodge. That's about 44 too many.

A real sweat ceremony is divided into four parts, with breaks between. Also, you don't pay for it, not ever.

Sounds more like a cult leader to me. This quote stands out:

Quote:

"It breaks my heart to know that the families are suffering," said one caller identified as Brent. "I think that the people that left, I do believe they made their own choices, whether on this level or the next, but I do feel really for the families."

Apparently in that person's eyes, the people who died chose to die. /cue Twilight Zone theme

What the heck is the point of a "Sweat Ceremony" anyways?

A sweat lodge ceremony is some sort of native American purification ritual. There was some litigation a number of years ago when San Quentin would not arrange a similar ceremony as the last rites for a condemned inmate.

Little did they know they could have saved time and money by combining last rights with execution.

If the ceremony is held between strangers, there is zero point.

Sweats are held for the same purpose as group therapy/intervention/problem solving sessions. It's always with just a few people, often family. You sit in your bathing suit in a sauna-type atmosphere and talk over/pray over the problem.

There has to be a high level of mutual trust and history going in to the sweat. This is why 50 strangers paying for a sweat is 110% bull.

It is a really cool bed that can be a tunnel, a donut bed or a fluffy blanket. I want one in my size!

Tango began with a donut oval/round kind of bed that she loved, it was a cheapo bed from WalMart in VA. It wore out and I've tried 2 similar beds and she will not go near them. Right now, my old fleece robe is now her bed. I've got it rolled on the edges sort of like a donut, and she loves it.

She does like to nest under paper and once in a while under the coverlet.
