The Ngystle Society has had a significant role in bringing Psychology of Vision to Haida Gwaii.

Ngystle seems to want you to space out !! They would make more profit if they did a mock UFO and claimed they were aliens, sale alien medicine and alien souvenirs!
It is up the individual to take responsibility for what they want to experience and receive. If crystals work for you and you receive a positive energy from holding crystals or even praying over them, it has to be a good thing. Same with dream catchers, totem poles, rain dances, blessings, books, workshops, Pow-Wow's. It boils down to faith, where you choose to invest it and the power of belief. I don't own a dream catcher. I take responsibility for my dreams. Each to their own I say.
Each to their own is a good concept and yes, each individual has a free choice. This blog is not about belief, it is about behavior. And the behavior of the people behind Psychology of Vision, which has a big influence over the Ngystle Society, raises many valid questions. Those who are true seekers need to question how their quest sometimes leads them into becoming tools at the hands of cynical manipulators.
The kind of blind faith you admire is a double edge. Nazis, ISIS, and the KKK also have faith. We have brains and can think. I do not agree it boils down to simply faith. We are better than that.
Your statement also brings up issues of cultural appropriation I find a bit disturbing. On the one hand this post demonstrates how western New Age culture is attempting to invade Haida Gwaii, and your comment demonstrates how Native culture is being hijacked. Either way, First Nations cultures get screwed.
The problem is some folks are believing in this fake science at the cost of getting real medical attention, and then they die. And there is no shortage of charlatans like Chuck Spezzano who try to cash in on their malady before they expire, as evidenced by his "Healing Metaphors" and statements on his Youtubes. He claims he can cure cancer, AIDS and other diseases ("I worked with" is his way saying so). This is giving false hope and is criminal. Believe and have faith in what you want, but what is wrong is wrong.
Let us not forget the Ngystle Society has spent considerable public grant monies to promote Psychology of Vision. How many Canadians voted to have their hard earned tax dollars spent in such a way? How many Canadians knew their tax dollars were going to subsidize a New Age cult? There is a major scam taking place here.
Another main point to take into account is that time and again the POV leadership plays the role of being psychological "professionals" but in fact they are not. They lack credentials and are more closely allied with this sort of New Age pseudoscience than they are with real professionals.
Ngystle and POV trainer Babs Stevens embrace a New Age constellation of beliefs which is all fine and good if that helps them through the night, until it starts to impact public policy, drain public grant money, and manipulates the system to serve their own ends at the expense of other needs that are more pressing.
POV by the way is a for-profit corporation, not a church or religion or spiritual organization. It exists in order to make money, otherwise it would be a non-profit which it definitely is not. For Stevens to promote POV is akin to being a lobbyist for a private business, which, in fact, she is doing. That alone invalidates any argument that criticism of her POV advertising is attacking her religion.

These are "services"? Sounds more like torture.
