Setting the Record Straight

James Ray’s legal team has interviewed more than twenty people, including participants who attended the Spiritual Warrior Retreat, James Ray International employees and volunteers both inside and outside the sweat lodge; the man who built the sweat lodge under contract with the Angel Valley; and a Native American expert on the construction and use of sweat lodges. A review of these and other facts shows that the deaths were heartbreaking and tragic but were not the result of criminal negligence on the part of James Ray or JRI. Please take a moment to review a more complete set of facts regarding the Sedona tragedy. As always, we appreciate all the support that we’ve all received during this difficult situation and time. Much love and respect, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International, Inc.

Important Update Regarding the Sedona Investigation

For more than two months now we have been cooperating with Arizona authorities to help determine the cause of the tragic Sedona sweat lodge accident. We have worked to facilitate interviews involving the James Ray International employees and the authorities, and my representatives have also conducted a large number of interviews and collected a great deal of other information on their own. As this work continues now into the New Year, I believe it is time to share with you the information – two White Papers, along with supporting materials -- that my representatives have shared with Arizona authorities. White Paper No. 1 White Paper No. 2 As always, we appreciate all the support that we’ve all received during this difficult situation and time. Much love and respect, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International, Inc.

Happy Holidays

Happy holidays to all my friends and loved ones... I just wanted to send out a quick message during this season to remind you to take time from all the typical rush to keep in mind the true value of what the holidays represent; to connect with your family; to count the many blessings you have in your life; to celebrate all your accomplishments for the year, whether great or small; to remember all the wonderful lessons you've learned, even if they came disguised as challenges; and to maybe most importantly take some time for yourself and reflect upon your dreams, intentions and values for the new year. Happy holidays, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International, Inc.

Sedona Update - 11/30/09

I hope you enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving holiday. As we move toward the end of 2009, I'd like to give you another update on the ongoing work in Sedona. As you know, I've asked members of my team to travel to Arizona, meet with authorities there and provide all the information they have to offer. That process has gone on for the last two weeks, and we believe it's been helpful. Of course, if additional information is required, my team is ready to provide it in our continuing hope that the causes of the Sedona accident can be determined as quickly and authoritatively as possible. I'm grateful for all the love and support we've received, and we'll do our very best to keep you updated. Much love and respect, James Arthur Ray President/CEO James Ray International, Inc.

Sedona Update - 11/7/09

I'm continuing to devote all my energy to determine the facts surrounding the tragic accident at Sedona. I've instructed my representatives to meet with the authorities in Arizona and to share with those authorities the facts they learn. That process is ongoing. In the meantime, I want to let you know that not only is this situation requiring all of my personal focus, it's also consuming my entire team's focus as well. For that reason, you can expect significant delays in responses to all general business requests. We have every intention of responding once we have helped determine what happened in Sedona.
