A pricey Sedona, Ariz., resort reportedly charged people up to $9,000 for a resort stay that included purification in a sweat lodge. The so-called ceremony, however, went awry when guests became ill inside the lodge. More so, two people died and three others were critically injured. It’s been reported that the lodge was roomy enough to fit up to 64 people. That’s a commercial-sized sweatlodge, a monstrosity the likes I’ve never seen. ABC 15.com quoted a man named Blackwolf, an American Indian spiritual leader, who said once you start charging people for spiritual enlightenment — and killing people, too — it is no longer a spiritual occasion. Blackwolf equated it to prostitution. See the story.
