Frauds in the UK

<< < (11/13) > >>

TimberlineWarrior:
It has been mentioned in another thread the growing number of frauds in Europe as a whole. Take heart, I may have been quiet but for a reason.
Steps have started and negotiations are progressing with various people and bodies to make performing and selling any Native American ceremony illegal. This will mean that anyone conducting these will be liable to arrest by the police.
I can't say much yet but I hope to follow this up with good news soon. No doubt the frauds will try and find loopholes and it's to prevent that that care has to be taken with the wording of the letter of the law.
This is in responce to one person who reported a friend of mine to the police (thinking the friend was me) for malicious posting and the stress caused by posting them as a fraud on here.

TimberlineWarrior:
One of the biggest 'green' (nu-age) events to be held each year has just released it's details.
Welcome to
The Big Green Gathering

The World's Premier and Award Winning Green Festival


Latest News: The Big Green Gathering is proud to announce its association with the Green Phoenix Festival which will take place from 19th to 22nd August 2010.

And being so enviromentally friendly they are inviting people to attend in yurts and tipis which of course leads to
THE SWEAT LODGE

The Bare Essentials

To generate the heat necessary for a successful sweat lodge we will build a big alter shaped fire with about 20 large limestones in the centre.

These rocks will be heated until they are red hot which takes about 2 - 3 hours. During this time we will  be drumming and dancing around the fire.

When the rocks are hot and the fire burnt down enough to allow access they will be transfered into the sweat lodge bender and placed into a shallow pit at the center.

Those who wish to participate then remove their clothes and we form a circle around the fire holding hands. Entering the the sweat lodge we always move in a clockwise fashion around the rocks.  It is best to sit on one knee and move up close to the person next to you. This means we can get as many people in as possible.

This has all the potential to become another Sedona. Packing as many people as possible into a sweat and encouraging them to stay till the end of a round!

So many dodgy goings on at this festival that I just don't know where to start...

http://www.sunrisecelebration.com

It's got workshops on tantra, hallucinogenic plants, 2010, "Native Americans" , firewalking, shamanism

Most of these people are new to me but there is much here that is depressingly familiar....

--- Quote ---GARY KING - Crop Circles: Informing Other Activities
Gary encountered his first Crop Circle in 1997. He was so profoundly affected by this experience that he has relentlessly devoted the 12 years of his life toward researching the phenomenon. Already a practicing Martial Artist, he now began to pursue the more esoteric, internal styles of the art together with their accompanying philosophies. In 2005 he supplemented these studies with a language and communication degree course at Cardiff University, focusing on the science of semiotics (the search for the meaning behind meaning). In a jaw dropping lecture, recently delivered to a large crowd at the World Trade Centre in Mexico City, entitled "Informing Other Activities", Gary will show how his research has genuinely revealed connections between the phenomenon and geometry of the Crop Circles, ancient indigenous music, and their use of psychedelic plants, Consciousness, Creativity, the human condition, and much more. Not to be missed!!!

--- Quote ---CELIA GUNN - From Sinixt to Somerset: My Life with Native Americans
An extraordinary encounter with a Native American visionary in British Columbia , Canada , drew Celia Gunn into the rebirth of the Sinixt people, a tribe declared extinct by the Canadian government. For six years, she was taken upon a shamanic journey, her life entwined with the struggle of a fragmented and disinherited people, a Mother Tribe who were called home by their ancestors. Her memoir of this magical experience, “A Twist in Coyote’s Tale”, has been adapted into a film, “The Sinixt: Bringing Home the Bones”, which premiered in Canada in April 2010 and will soon be available in England . Celia will share her heart-warming story, and the great wisdom of the Native American way of life. Illustrated presentation.

A native of the county of Northumberland , Celia lived in Jerusalem , Israel, for several years, before immigrating to Canada , where she lived for 18 years. A deep and abiding interest in the mysteries of reality has been part of her life for as long as she can remember. Her first book, “A Twist in Coyote’s Tale”, has been followed by a novel, “A Dark Wind”, and her book on animal spirit guides, “Simply Totem Animals”, publishes in Sept 2010. Another novel, “The Fourth Gateway”, will publish in 2011. She is currently working on a book about the journey of healing, the biography of an elder of the western mystery tradition, and a saga set in ancient North America . When not writing, she can usually be found tending her unique and beautiful woodland chakra garden, which can be visited at her website: www.earthskywalk.com

--- Quote ---STEPHANIE LISTER - Awakening to Intimacy Tantra - 2hr Workshop
Intimacy is boundless and infinite. It can only be experienced with others, and ourselves when we become our true nature and drop unconscious patterns and learnt defenses. This workshop is an invitation to be in intimacy with yourselves, fully present and true. You will have space to be where you are and who you are right now with love and acceptance. It offers an opportunity to explore what it means to be in intimate relationship with another and your essence as man or woman. In a safely held environment, through guided structures, you will be taken on a journey to living with more awakeness, connectedness and celebrating your aliveness! You will explore your own personal boundaries, the masculine and feminine dynamic, being touched and touching others physically, emotionally and spiritually. The workshop will be two hours in length and for the holding of the group I ask that participants stay for the whole two hours. It is suitable for singles, couples, beginners to intimacy work and to those who are more experienced. It is for all those who are open to the magical, infinite possibilities that can happen when we surrender to existence and the life in us. Please note that there will be no nudity and everyone’s boundaries regarding physical touch will be respected and honoured at all times.

Stephanie Lister has been a seeker since she was a child. Her exploration for truth and liberation has taken her around the world to study various Yoga practices and spiritual teachings. Her Guru is an enlightened being who has awakened her Kundalini. Stephanie has trained in Huna (Hawaiian Shamanism), The Tantric arts and Tantric philosophy, NLP and has studied with many respected teachers who have imparted their knowledge of sacred sexuality to her. She has made various television appearances on the subjects of Tantra and sexuality including ‘The Sex Education Show’ and ‘Sex -How to do everything.’ She currently lives and works in London facilitating tantric training for singles and couples and practices a new type of dream work with her clients.

Based around a central fire, the Tipi Circle is always a little refuge, a place of chai and sheepskins, bhajans and song sharing, fireside jams and spontaneous healing.The Pacha Mama's Chai Tipiis the last resort of a great night out, sure to be ready to ease your tired frame after an exhaustive night out on the prowl. Enjoy!

Looks like Eva Mack is at it on June 26th.

I have used their enquiry form, to ask them some questions but they haven't replied. I wonder why.

Will have to see if I can get away from work that day and go visit, its pretty close to where I am.

TimberlineWarrior:
Here's one I haven't noticed too much of before, using Mike Chirobokow as several others seem to be doing;
http://www.sweatlodge.org.uk/ourcommunity.htm.
Whats disgusted me most though was on the Inspiring Comments page;
I felt very safe with Mike and I really enjoyed the way in which it was truly red Indian. The group was good too and it was lovely to meet everyone.  I will be letting people know about my experience.  -M
If thats what they're teaching their victims customers then they need some teaching themselves!
