Mostly faux Hinduism  and faux Christian beliefs about angels passed off as NDN. He even still advertises the failed 2012 hoax. For one ceremony he claims to be Tibetan.

The 9 Great Rites of Passage
*Healer’s Rite
Connects you to a lineage of luminous beings from the past....

*Bands of Power
Five luminous belts that are woven into the luminous energy field (LEF) for protection. They act as filters...

*Harmony Rite
Transmission of the 7 Archetypes into the Chakras. First you receive serpent, jaguar, hummingbird and eagle; next you receive three archangels...

*Seer’s Rite
Extra-cerebral pathways of light are installed that connect the visual cortex with the third eye and heart charka....

Vibration of Angels and Archangels
*Day keeper’s Rite
You connect to a lineage of master healers from the past. Day keepers are able to call on the ancient altars to heal and bring balance to the earth, call on the sun to rise each day, and bring humans into harmony with mother Earth. They are the midwives, herbalists and curanderas. This rite helps you begin to heal your inner feminine...

*Wisdom Keeper’s Rite
You connect to a lineage of luminous beings from the past and the future. This rite is associated with the snow-capped mountains, perhaps a distant memory of our ancestors from the Himalayas...

*Earth Keeper’s Rite
This rite connects you to the archangels that are guardians of our galaxy...

*Star Keeper’s Rite
This rite anchors you safely to the time after the great change, said to occur around 2012. Your physical body begins to evolve into homo luminous, the aging process is slowed down, your DNA is re-informed...

*Creator Rite
Awakens the Creator-light within and brings forth a sense of stewardship for all creation...

http://careystokes.com/about/
Carey is Certified as a Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine and a recognized Shamanic Teacher in the US and Abroad for children and adults.  Native American in Lineage, and with deep respect for the Earth and all her life forms, he was innately drawn to study the ancient indigenous healing ways of living in balance and harmony with all life.

For many, many years he has spent treasured time with the Q’ero Andean Shamans of Peru in sacred sites, rites and ceremonies, alone and with groups he leads there.  He also has spent precious time with respected Native American Wisdom Keepers of the Americas

IOW, he went to ceremony sellers and paid the fees.

He claims to not charge for sweatlodges, but suggested donation is 20. Claims a Native teacher of unnamed tribe, Jerome Rockwell.

That "Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine" is from Alberto Villoldo's group http://thefourwinds.com/energy-medicine-training/

Which means taking a bunch of workshops: 7 one weeks ones http://thefourwinds.com/energy-medicine-training/beginning-journey/ ,then 5 six days ones thefourwinds.com/energy-medicine-training/beginning-journey/

$1450.00 seems to be the going price for a workshop. Yeesh.

I wonder where his wife got her Ph.D.?  She doesn't seem to reference it at all in her list of what she specializes in: 

Elsa J. Stokes, Ph.D.

Is a Professional Medium, Angel Therapy Practitoner, Angel Theta Healing Practitoner,Reiki Master, Shamanic Practitoner, Ordained Minister, Spiritual Teacher and Speaker

Maybe this is one of those Ph.D.'s in Clinical Hypnotherapy that doesn't really exist:  http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=4198.0, or perhaps one of the other diploma mills are involved.

"Kevin" might be Kevin Locke. Carey Stokes did organize an event with him in Hollywood, Florida http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-03-11/news/fl-new-moon-ceremony-20130311_1_lakota-storyteller-kevin-locke

Lakota storyteller to perform in Hollywood
March 11, 2013|By Susannah Bryan, Sun Sentinel

HOLLYWOOD — — Kevin Locke, a Lakota dancer, storyteller and flute player from North Dakota, will perform in a special New Moon Ceremony on Tuesday at the Ayurvedic Center for Well Being.

Locke, who travels the world performing the traditional Lakota hoop dance, will play the flute, sing and tell stories of the Lakota from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Ayurvedic Center, 315 S. 21st St., along Dixie Highway. He will also lead a community friendship dance, also known as a Round Dance.

"It's his first time to perform at the Ayurvedic Center," said Dania Beach resident Carey Stokes, the event's organizer and host. "People can get a real taste of what it's like to sit with a Lakota wisdom keeper. Kevin is very humble, but he's traveled the world. He's not often in town, so to have him here is a real treat."

Those who attend can give a donation in the amount of their choice.

For information, call Carey Stokes at 954-907-3006.

In regard to Elsa Stokes's education, it is interesting that she does not mention her Ph.D. on her LinkedIn page:

Elsa Stokes' Education
South Miami Senior High

1977 – 1981

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/elsa-stokes/12/3a6/541

but she does expand her education on Google:

Education

    South Miami Senior High
    1981
    Florida International University College of Medicine

https://plus.google.com/103433397101027466267/about

According to Wikipedia, the first class to graduate from the Florida International University College of Medicine was in 2013, so that would make her an M.D., not a Ph.D, if she was in that class.

Carey's wife, Elsa, is very busy.  She is also involved in real estate:

The filing is currently active as of the last data refresh which occured on Sunday, September 01, 2013.

So somewhere on the net, Elsa somehow got connected with Miami Dade College, but they only offer degrees as high as bachelors.

I know Kevin Locke he does not do ceremonies, he is a performer and has been a performer
for many years, he would be shocked if his name was associated with frauds.
I will give him a call and find out

[milehighsalute]

i know of kevin locke myself not personally but by reputation......im sure he didnt write the article/advertisement......one correction though....the hoop dance came from my tribe....there is no such thing as a "lakota hoop dance"

Locke is working with Stokes again.
