Stumbled on this expose of him while doing a search on Fisher/Ywahoo. Bad google translation of a French article. Any French speakers who could do better?

For nearly two years, he and his associates recruited to form an Ecovillage in Amerindian near Quebec. Suspecting a cult, many members have left the project. Survey.
The evening came, Blue Eagle had invited a dozen people around a crackling fire in the center of a large tepee erected near the artificial lake. He donned Indian costume and taken care of its guests with purifying sage, tobacco and "liquid incense. The ceremony was to close their eyes and visualize the "spiral of light." Then, in turn, group members should share the "talking stick" and entrust their emotions.
Most were inflated enthusiasm. On this hot day in July 2006, they had traveled from across Quebec to Saint-Adolphe field. All morning and afternoon, they had admired this natural paradise about forty minutes from the capital, with its hills, thousands of varieties of trees, a lake filled with trout and partridge plump well waddle on dirt roads. Here, on a plateau sparse, the leaders of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire promised to base the Ecovillage of Peace.
What the community is coming halo devotion Amerindian and that its leader is called a raptor would probably concern the common man. "The spiritual side, as other eco-villages had not attracted us," said Daniel Larue *, a family man who, with his wife, thought he had found the perfect place to raise her son. In His Image, the majority of diners were also fervent environmentalists that new age spirituality - the kind that vermicomposting practice and abuse of the word energy.
The Shrine of the Sacred Fire
In short, an audience to the Shrine of the Sacred Fire. This religious corporation, registered as a charity in Wendake, is dedicated to the creation of the Ecovillage of Peace. Since 2001, she also offers classes and activities inspired by First Nations - seminars on Native American spirituality, aromatherapy, music therapy, crystal therapy, meditation classes - most of which are led by its founder, Blue Eagle.
According to his official biography, available on the website of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire, Blue Eagle "is an architect of the new global community, sometimes called Arc-en-ciel. Its mission is to work for the future of Mother Earth and humanity awakened. He attended a school for Native American spirituality for 25 years (where, he claims, he was ordained after passing the examination practice of creating light with his body). In addition to having "received teachings of the elders carry the wisdom of many indigenous nations," he borrows from other traditions, including "Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Christian mysticism and Hinduism.
Several members of the Ecovillage of Peace were recruited through the Shrine of the Holy Fire, or the reverse. Last summer, at its peak, had an ecovillage in quarantine. The day spent at the Domaine Saint-Adolphe had galvanized the future residents. Daniel had put his house up for sale and Montreal, its image, several wanted to relocate to the region of Quebec to participate in the founding of the community.
Future residents could invest in four committees tote. Of which, crucially, on the mission and regulations. But let's break the head end
November a "dream" has crept into the sleep of Blue Eagle. The sky had spoken. And a member of the Board of Directors has suggested the head of the Sanctuary to save his revelation. A few weeks later, the future residents received three thick documents that were somehow the charter of the Ecovillage Peace.
"It insulted my intelligence. It was full of fallacies. (...) There were a lot of clauses in there that could lead to serious abuses of power, "recalls Michel Grenier. The sexagenarian Lac-Beauport, bald head and laughter, is the originator of a foundation dedicated to promoting independent artists on the Web. Twice, Vincent Levesque, President of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire, had invited him on his sailboat to convince him to board the project. Looking for a site of spectacle, Mr. Grenier had accepted.
But the businessman was not retired style to be dazzled by the rantings of Aigle Bleu. Example: the idea that the young residents of the ecovillage study on location from kindergarten to university. More specifically, the "City of the Universe", where "the education offered will be developed in a holistic community, where living green technology and human development overall laboratory used as a huge natural Biodome.
But beneath all is the hierarchy of the Ecovillage of Peace which irritated Michel Grenier and other former members of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire interviewed by The Sun. For them, the organization should be based on an "intentional community", without a leader, where all members are equal and participate in decisions. Although they deny it, the initiators seemed to impose a "hard core" at the head of the ecovillage. In this case, the three heavyweights of the Board: the "spiritual director" Blue Eagle, Chairman, Vincent Levesque, and vice-president, Claude Morin, a former prisoner who has repented through a Native American priest ...
Manipulations
Charles Boutin remembers the double discourse of Blue Eagle. "In words, this is the kind of guy who will advocate egalitarianism, the voice for everyone, everyone is entitled to his word, to his vote. At the same time, he mixed with Native American concepts where there were narrow circles who made decisions for the community, "he said. Although the regulations suggest otherwise, argues Charles Aigle Blue was in favor of a "share of total goods. "I, says he, I was looking over a compromise between today's society where money is the dominant value (...). He's "People forget that the Individual Wealth". "
With the opposite sex, Blue Eagle a special relationship, "recalls Melanie Fournier. "It seems that the woman was underneath him," she says. In his presence, "men were always served before." Still a little shaken up the phone, Melanie remembers what the head of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire told him during one of those famous "talking circles" hit of omerta: "Somebody who told him he would have 100 women, she says, and he wanted us to do part. "
Geneviève Maheux, she says
Aigle Blue tried to persuade her to separate from his family and to dispose of his property. "He said that to evolve, it should perhaps be I break the links with some people who disagreed with me and that I continue my path, because otherwise they had to delay my development. That these are words of guru. It is from there that I began to be skeptical. "
In late April, Michel Grenier and three former members of the Ecovillage Peace wanted to have the heart net. They traveled to Vermont, where the Sunray Meditation Society Blue Eagle claimed to have studied for a quarter century. The
priestess Indian Dhyani Ywahoo received them. She had confirmed that Aigle Bleu properly instructed himself to her all these years. But she also told them he had been banished from the community in 2006. And that since he was no longer authorized to teach Native spirituality.The occult past Blue Eagle
The reasons that led to the expulsion remain unclear. Contacted by telephone, Blue Eagle responds that "it's personal." His colleague and friend Vincent Levesque pleads ignorance. As Ywahoo Dhyani, it has not returned our calls. The Sun, however, obtained an email exchange in which
Dhyani Ywahoo involves Eagle for "rape of copyright" on the products of Sunray Meditation Society and "non-compliance with the Code of Ethics". The latter failure is linked, may be read to "inappropriate actions against a student teenager.In the late 70s, at a conference on spirituality in Montreal, would have known Aigle Blue Dhyani Ywahoo. Having been his student, he is himself became a professor and priest at the Sunray Meditation Society. By cons, unlike that suggests his swarthy complexion, long black braids and the headband he wears almost always at the front, Blue Eagle n'ad'origine Amerindian his nickname. He was born in Saskatchewan and raised in Quebec. His name is Luc Bourgault and 53 years.
For nearly 30 years, Blue Eagle owns a house in Stoneham and visits the owner of the Domaine Saint-Adolphe-Louis Marie Letourneau, promising that one day he will buy his land. In 2002, before the Ecovillage became fashionable, his project was called "Village of Peace". Mr. Letourneau had subsequently received an architectural plan (see photo). Last year, Blue Eagle had even explained his strategy. "They sold their homes, they pooled their capital, they bought the domain and they came to rebuild here," says Mr. Letourneau. Unable to raise the amount requested, Bourgault Luke and his cronies have finally given up. "The investor" had withdrawn.
A little over a year after this hot day in July 2006, former members of the Shrine of the Sacred Fire can not remember maybe not "spiral of light", but everyone remembers the hopes that they melted in the ecovillage. "We were really motivated, but it did not end up with a guru and a sect," said Genevieve.
The latest Ecovillage Peace had lost a dozen members, especially because of warnings of Michel Grenier. In an interview with
Sun, Vincent Levesque describes what appears like a return to the starting point. "We did not land again. Everything we do now is try to develop a way of life among members to see how we could live in an ecovillage. "An observation shared by Blue Eagle. "We're at the very beginning, we have not even finished writing the internal structure. That's why we are not ready to have anything written about us. "
Luc Bourgault plans to take a semi-retirement three years from 2008. In a letter sent several weeks ago, the Shrine of the Sacred Fire soon proposed a "meeting of spiritual purification, last chance to experience a workshop with Blue Eagle in Quebec before 2011. Interested?
