at the sweat lodge

The Pursuit of Woo and the Pursuit of Wealth collide at a resort in Arizona: suffocation ensues.

An investigation into the deaths of two people who spent up to two hours inside a "sweat lodge" at an Arizona retreat last week has been elevated from an accidental death investigation to a homicide inquiry, Yavapai County Sheriff Steve Waugh told reporters Thursday...

A sweat lodge at an event headed up by this guy, now the subject of police investigation, possibly for something to do with this.

Via the Robbster, who has a point. A group of people who meet to get naked, cram together and hope to sweat money carries the New Age well into End Time territory.

I guess we're lucky in that it could have happened after Mr Ray had been invited over here to launch his own foundation school. Personal wealth! Environmental awareness! Holistic responsibility! Spiritual Values! Betcha Michael Gove’s making deletions to his address book as we speak.

Much, much detail at Making Light; the thread's a bit special too.
