Got a request about him. His group church is based in Detroit, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe. A real estate agent and yoga instructor. Also offers ayahuasca ceremonies, vision quests, sweatlodges, peyote ceremonies, and hands out chanupas.
Claims to be a Sun Dancer dancing at Pine Ridge for many years. No online presence, recruits by word of mouth. Standard cost is $150 a ceremony, making $3,000-$4,000 a ceremony. But recruits are heavily pressured to give more.

This Tony Beck, in New Mexico, writes about ayahuasca, Shipibo, Standing Rock themes. https://www.facebook.com/tony.beck.58173
Looks like his time spent in Peru was about 2016.
"we have been pretty immersed in Native American ceremonies for about 15 years. Practicing sweat lodges, vision quest's, sun dances, peyote ceremonies and ayahuasca ceremonies regularly. Recently over the last six or so years I've been completely captivated and transformed by the power of the ayahuasca. It has helped me, my family, and my friend's tremendously. I want to immerse myself in the world of ayahuasca in its home."
