Monday October 26, 2009 - The James Ray Incident: Let's Talk About Accountability & Prevention
With so many questions still unanswered about the James Ray incident, and so many disturbing details coming to light, Shawna is holding another forum for discussion.
The media turned to Shawna for her straightforward reports of what she saw the night of the James Ray sweat lodge. They continue to call on her because of her professional experience and her level-headed approach as she calls for James Ray to be accountable for the trauma he caused so many people.
Shawna will focus on topics that speak to prevention of this kind of tragedy in the future. She’ll be exploring accountability within the self-help community (for both speakers and participants), the significance of having professional credentials, and the impact of the overwhelming stress that James Ray inflicted upon his participants.
Callers are encouraged to participate in the discussion and are requested to keep with the spirit of the call by being constructive.
Our condolences and prayers go out to the families of all of those who were hurt by this incident.
