Questionable and Fraudulent Providers

[Northerner]

Just got an anecdotal report about TierraMitica Happiness Research Center – Self Programming for Happiness as follows.

I just escaped an art retreat that was more a cult recruitment

I'm trying to get more info, but it may as well go in the yellow group for the time being.

Now they are pushing themselves as a spiritual enlightenment center that offers the wisdom without drinking the brew.

In some ways that's better. I gotta kinda respect it... even if they are cultish.

I know it's still a bit of a new age scam, but at least they aren't really hurting anyone. There's a good chance they can help some people with their voodoo.

"The man had been given a cleanse for the ceremony, which included Ayahauasca. He also took part in a Kambo ceremony, which involves the taking of poisonous secretions of a tree frog from the Amazon and poking the participant with the secretion, usually with hot metal."

"The report shows the 22 year old was seizing in the backyard and by the time he got to the hospital he was unable to breathe on his own"

"Christopher young was adamant that the plant he showed us last year, Ayahuasca, didn't hurt the victim, and instead he pointed at Kambo"

:shock:

Hot metal Kambo poking? wtheck? :?

I feel bad for the frog....

There is debate about the frog treatment...

Tying them up for a bit then releasing them isn't THAT bad, annoying at worst.

There are some videos of the frogs being kinda poked in their mouth + anus with a stick to aggravate it into releasing more venom... but this is not the standard common practice.

There's a pretty scathing review about the place here.

Does anyone know anything about Chris Young? He is very active in recruiting new customers still, and very inactive in being straight forward. I'd love to know about any experiences anyone has had with him.

I'm curious about the finances of soul quest as well. He is one of those who claims to be "working on" scholarships for needy populations, veterans in particular, but has not to anyone's knowledge actually provided anything.

If he is truly running an unsafe aya parlor and the allegations of everything from sexual abuse to carelessness leading to death to unsanitary conditions to financial crimes are of any merit and credibility, and he is actively seeking more people to come to his place,then he needs to be put out of business and face the legal repercussions sooner than later.
