A journey of personal transformation turns into a fatal disaster in this gripping true crime investigation of the wellness industry. In October 2009, more than fifty people traveled to Sedona, Arizona, for a $10,000-per-person spiritual wellness retreat led by a celebrity self-help guru. Three of them would not make it out alive. They came seeking enlightenment but found catastrophe as a fake Native American sweat lodge ceremony claimed their lives. This tragedy exposes the dangerous truth about the booming $2 trillion wellness industry where promises of spiritual awakening and financial success often mask dangerous practices underpinned by cultural appropriation and commodification of the natural world. Journalist Annette McGivney explores this world, exposing the manipulation and greed that allow charismatic influencers to prey on vulnerable people in search of happiness and healing...no matter the cost.
