Some folks elsewhere are now blaming and shaming the victims. I encourage people to instead focus on the behavior of the leaders, Trinity de Guzman and Marc Shackman.
People who were persuaded and manipulated by the leaders deserve education and support, not blame.
Anyone can be a victim. Intuition alone is not protection against persuasion. Victims were not stupid or inferior - they were caught in an undue persuasion snare. With education and support they can walk free.
All the staff I've named have their full names publicly available, including Dylan Guss, in connection with Ayahuasca Healings. Dylan's name, for instance, is publicly listed as program contact on the AH website. Some staff members may be victims, out of their depth, naive, or con artists themselves, I don't know.
Insiders say that they themselves were trained to get money from people. Money was the priority, not proper screening for customer's safety.
No one deserves to be mistreated. The victims are not suckers, they are people who have been manipulated.
Trinity's next plan is said to be to set up shop just over the border in Mexico.
Where did all the money go? What caused Trinity to call a halt to this stage of his operations?
Are the volunteers out on the land all okay? Living in tents during these recent storms likely was grim after awhile.
