Shawna Bowen with Guitar Shawna was close to completing three long awaited books and CD projects regarding substance abuse this year which included: Teen Success with Sobriety, Parents Supporting Teen Success with Sobriety and Clean at College when tragedy stuck. She was unfortunately at ground zero during the James Ray sweat lodge incident and was appalled by what she witnessed before and after it was discovered that people had become severely sick and eventually died at this self help retreat. Being a fan of James Ray and considering him a mentor as well as a fan of the Self Help Industry, Shawna was devastated as she saw her mentor reveal his true colors and not present himself as he had once claimed on the self help stage. Shawna's sense of betrayal, confusion and wanting to make sense of it all, decided to drop all other projects and pursue writing a book offering a therapeutic perspective of her own personal insights into this heart wrenching turn of events. She brings validation, compassion and hope to the fans of James Ray as well as the Self Help Industry. Shawna also offers suggestions to providers and consumers within the Self Help Industry to ensure that this Never happens Again.
