My sister stopped answering calls 6 weeks after joining a 'wellness circle' in Sedona, so I did something kind of dumb
My sister moved to Sedona last spring for what she said was a three day yoga retreat and basically never came home. At first the calls were fine, then they got shorter, then she started talking in this weird flat voice and calling the group her 'true family.' I drove up there in October with her favorite snacks and no plan, which was a mistake. The guy running it, who goes by 'Teacher James,' met me at the gate and told me my 'low energy' would be 'disruptive to the circle,' and I just stood there holding a bag of pretzels like an idiot. I ended up sitting in a Denny's parking lot for two hours writing down everything she'd told me about the money she gave them, which turned out to be around $8,000. I sent all of it to her old roommate and we started keeping a shared timeline. Has anyone here gone the informal route like this instead of hiring a professional exit counselor, and did it actually help or just make things worse?
