RICHARD CARL "VANCEUNEBROUCK" WERTH -- VICTIM'S STORIES

From making up his own testimonials to forging documents and emails, Richard or RVW or Cameron or Margaret of Omega Organization International is a... special man. Here are the stories of some people his life has touched.

Just starting to compile some highlights of various stories as I have time... (they have to be sorted, condensed, and checked against the person... time consuming work) -- want your story added? Clarify or rescind a testimonial? Please send me a short version -- no story too simple & positive stories really are welcome as well -- and we will discuss its inclusion here (I do want to make sure the stories are verifiable so I will be talking to you further). Please try to avoid writing personal insults to Richard as I will insist you do some editing for just plain rudeness. Just click and email here. Picture is definitely NOT required but is kind of a nice contrast to Richard's testimonials that feature initials "that may be changed to protect the identity" of the person giving the testimonial. Check it out... real live people here with faces and names.

NOTE: Material on this site often doesn't have pre-stated conclusions made to lead you down a path. Just a big pile of facts and statements and I don't even have time to get all of that posted. Dick has time to make up stories and put spin on things. He has never had a job and has all the time in the world. Please read carefully and take the time to connect the dots for yourself as objectively as possible.

EVE - Eve is from CA and first contacted me on 10/13/07. She met Richard online. According to her she was engaged to Richard until the engagement was broken by her in later '07. Richard borrowed $18k from her during the summer citing his money and investments being inaccessible until Dec.. she didn't get a promissory note as he was her fiancee, but she did get a cashier's check that noted it as a loan so she maybe has a shot at getting that back some day. She also made the mistake of putting him on her credit cards where he ran up tens of thousands of dollars in bills and refuses to have financial responsibility for the bills despite having all the equipment he had purchased shipped to his home in Seattle. Additionally someone forged her name (very high likelihood on the basis of examination of an expert -- expert's name available) and gifted her Mercedes to Richard's business. The mercedes was eventually seized by an officer of the court and returned.

When she attempted to get her possessions back he tried to not so subtly pressure and stop her with threats of publication of some risque photos he had taken of her (this is a common thread for many victims), sending a forged "model release" reminder through a duped Tacoma attorney (another common thread.... not informing attorneys of the full situation -- in this case that the attorney was assisting with attempted extortion, and in other cases putting attorneys involved with him and not actually legally representing him in positions where they actually risk their jobs).

On December 14, 2007 she received three threatening phone calls from Richard. On December 15th, 2007 about 11pm her home was vandalized ----- I should make this clear. Nobody really thinks Dick was likely to have vandalized her home as he is a coward. He learned to fake seizures from listing to the description of seizures had by one woman's disabled son and uses that when confronted in an argument... this is not a person usually willing to do his own dirty work. Though he has a very bad temper and has severely injured at least one former partner he is probably NOT likely to vandalize, but there are any number of duped people who would be willing to do it for him until they discover they have been duped. People have done much weirder things for him, strange as it sounds. ---- Windows broken in the garage, house and car.Her son was in the livingroom when the crowbar was smashed through the window. -- as told to Saqra by Eve

[Saqra here. I was actually was CCd on an email from Eve to the Seattle police on the 14th at 5:11pm. She wanted me warned for my own safety since he had been saying the "hit man" things about me. She wrote:

Then on the afternoon of the 16th I received:

 and

along with a bunch of photos of the damage.

I have to admit that whole thing surprised me. I hadn't pegged him for violent despite Trapper's broken glass and the restraining orders people kept wanting. But then again I only ever spoke to him live a few times. ~S]

[Added note 2/13/08 - I'm concerned about a possibly related violent incident. Read to the bottom of Trapper's Story]

ASHRAF HAKIM

• 08-19-09 - KCDC - East Div (Redmond) 97-000610 Harassment  - no extension, but stern warning issued that victim must not be contacted by Richard or his associates or the restraining order would be granted.

Note: There seems to be a general misunderstanding about emergency restraining orders. Just cause must always be shown to get an emergency restraining order, so an emergency restraining order is not something given out lightly. The petitioner must attend court and present their case under a judge's questioning. Often emergency restraining orders are not given the one year renewal if the danger is deemed over by the judge. See http://www.saqra.net/worldmeditationensemble/documentation.html for a listing of other restraining orders against "Richard V Werth"

This is the statement from the application for a restraining order requested by Mr Hakim:

"Ashraf Hakim was a cellist with the Cairo Orchestra for 17 years. He has been in the United States for 4 years pursuing work in his career as a concert musician.

Ashraf delayed in requesting an order of protection in this case simply because he is new to this country and is unfamiliar with the court system.

He was unaware that he could request police protection, and then uncertain as to how to actually pursue getting protection.

Although Ashraf's English is improving constantly he is still unable to completely understand some of the more complex written and spoken statements involved in legal action without some assistance.

Ashraf Hakim has been restricting his movements since May to daylight hours or escorted evening shows because of fear of being assaulted by Richard Werth and his associates.

The incident that caused this fear is detailed in the police report attached, but what follows is a summary of the situation:

Ashraf Hakim was physically assaulted by two men in Redmond, WA, at 11:30pm on Friday, May 8 2009. The men were attempting to steal his cello (not the fanny pack containing his money and valuables). When the men were frightened away they were seen by Ashraf to run and enter a vehicle he believes is owned by the respondent (WA Lic # 956VWX). Ashraf considers himself lucky because he retained his cello (with some strap damage) and all other possessions and because he was not incapacitated in their attempts to knock him unconscious, though he did receive an injury to his right eye.

Ashraf states that Richard Werth had been pressuring him for several months to record on a CD for his band World Meditation Ensemble, and that in Nov ‘08 Richard had also threatened the victim with deportation if he did not comply. Richard Werth also requested and took photographs of all of Ashraf Hakim's Identification papers – State Id, Passport, Green Card, plus wanted and received a detailed personal address history and details on Ashraf's children and family still in Egypt. The reason stated was that Richard "was his friend," knew all about immigration law and would help Ashraf -- Ashraf is very concerned about potential identity theft and is continuing to watch for incidents indicating that is happening (like a recent occurrence: he was able to stop it when someone tried to re-route his mail without his request).

Ashraf continues at this time to receive calls from Richard Werth's World Meditation Ensemble associates. He does not answer the calls.

Ashraf is in process of becoming an American citizen and would like to emphasize that he loves America. Unfortunately for now he is also afraid for his safety from Richard Werth and Richard Werth's associates"

UPDATE: 08-19-09 - Stern warning issued by Judge that victim must not be contacted by Richard or his associates or the restraining order would be granted.

UPDATE: On 9-19-09  - In a classically fascinating sociopathic thumbing-the-nose-at-the-victim gesture, "Richard Vwerth" and World Meditation Ensemble added a photo to their "Join Us" web page that actually had Ashraf Hakim pictured in it. They have never used a photo with Ashraf before and waited until after Mr Hakim PUBLICLY declared he was afraid of them and took them to court to do so. There are many more photos even on the other pages of the site showing many more people staged as the band so they aren't trying to show diversity... there have to be more photos available of a working band than one taken last fall in '08. Did they know Ashraf was in the picture? Would YOU know if someone had taken you to court for harassment less than a month before you publish something? Can they legally do it? Sure... Ashraf signed a contract he couldn't read based on trusting Richard Werth / VWerth / RVW / Omega and Karol Hansen and they have legal permission to use the photo. Can they morally think it is okay to frighten someone? Apparently so.

UPDATE: 10-9-09 - World Meditation Ensemble and Richard Werth / Vwerth sites removed the harassing photos. Don't know if it was their lawyer's suggestion or if calling them on the harassment here was enough. Regardless, they are now gone.

TRAPPER - MEETING AND RECORDING: I met Richard Werth in 1990. After my group had performed at the NW Folklife Festival, I received a letter from Omega, signed by a Cameron Powers, wanting to record me. Only later did I find out that Cameron Powers was him, along with many other pseudonyms that he used to present himself as a larger business than he was. We became involved and he recorded two tapes of music for my band, St. Elmo's Choir. Not only were the bills inflated, to my mind, he also charged the backer of the project sales tax, despite Omega not being licensed to do business in the State of Washington until late 1999. According to the auditor I spoke with at the Department of Revenue in 2000, those taxes from 1992-3 were never paid. My musical partner, Evie gave Richard $5,000 to record our band, Coventry, in order to produce an album for sale. I threw in another $2,000 in work I had done for Richard. To date, we have never received either the recording or our money back. What makes this even more reprehensible is that the money was Evie's inheritance from her late mother's estate. This is despite an email that I have from him stating that I could have the masters any time. So far, all attempts to get our property back or a refund of all monies have been ignored.

REPAIRS: I handed him my Nikko amplifier to be repaired. After a month, I inquired after it and found that he had installed it in his studio. I took it back. It was never repaired. At the same time, I had a CD boombox that I also asked him to fix. When I asked about it, he said he'd sold it. I stopped recommending him to people when this happened and when I found out that he was selling the gifts my father had given him, such as an oscilloscope, boxes of rare jewel lights and old, hard to find radio tubes.

PASTORAL COUNSELING: My beloved friend, Steffan, passed away from AIDS in 1994, and left me to be executor of his estate and final wishes. Not only did Richard not volunteer at Bailey-Boushay during the time of Steffan's illness, he refused to visit him, because he was afraid that he would catch AIDS from him. Steffan died in my arms and the ONLY people that were there at the time were myself, Steffan's friend, Duane, and Cliff, a caregiver. Richard had no part of planning or executing the memorial that I had for Steffan. When my brother passed away in 1995, we went to the hospital to be with him and pull the ventilator that was keeping him alive. At this point, Richard wanted to leave. I insisted we stay with my parents until Don's heart stopped beating. I wrote the entire service for the memorial. When my cousin, Gloria, passed away in 1997, I could only get Richard to come to the hospital once to see her, and he made a fuss every time I went up to Canada with my parents to see her at the hospital. When she passed, her daughters wrote her entire memorial service. Richard was asked to read the words that we had already written at both memorials, the same way that any actor would. At no time did he act in the capacity of a minister, and at no time did he act as a pastoral counselor as I see that he claims. In fact, on the way to my cousin's memorial, he had a screaming tantrum in the car because I, in my extreme grief, had missed a turn and had to refer to the map to get to the cemetery. He insisted on borrowing an old clerical stole with crosses on the ends that belonged to Steffan. He has never returned it.

ENDING: I finally ended the relationship when I could no longer ignore his unfaithfulness, his lack of ethics as regarded my business transactions with him and his many, badly hidden girlfriends. He began sending me reams of emails, cards, letters, all stating that I didn't have the right to unilaterally end the relationship. He harassed my parents and my friends. He left broken glass on my porch and would sit outside my house in his van, follow me to the store and then proceed to scream at me all the way back home. He harassed me until I filed for an emergency restraining order. When I went to court to get it extended, he was willing to lie in a sworn statement that we had never had a relationship, in order to get out of the restraining order. His family was willing to lie for him in their sworn statements as well, stating that our families were friends. My parents have never met his sisters, and met his mother only once. My parents despise Richard at this point, for exploiting our family and the tragedies that we have had, for his personal gain and gratification. Between money, artwork and books never returned, he's cost me about $10,000. It was a very expensive lesson. -- Trapper's description

HASANI - I had the misfortune to be associated with Mr. Werth from about 1997 to 1999. He said he had a huge, state-of-the-art recording studio with 55 employees and all kinds of prestigious accolades. He didn't. All the "employees" (Margaret Beaumont, Cameron Powers, Michael Valentine, the whole "legal department", just to name a few) turned out to be him role-playing all by himself. [Saqra adds: I have correspondence from these alias names in my files.] The "award-winning studio" turned out to be just some ordinary video equipment and his kitchen table.

Richard bartered the use of his sound system for a vending spot at my dance events. Richard would "accidentally" videotape dancers, "gift" them with the tape, and then demand their phone numbers and contact information on a release form he would then produce. For such a self-proclaimed professional, there was a lot of "accidental" videotaping going on. [Saqra again -- this is how he initially contacted me. ]

What is most disturbing to me is that during the 2 or so years we were buddies, he used these fake employees and false pretenses to get women's phone numbers and addresses from me. He would claim his boss had a project going with Dancer So-and-So, he couldn't access the company address book because the secretary was out, and he needed to contact her right away before some project deadline....all the while insisting he was a celibate former Buddhist monk, ordained by the Dalai Lama himself.

When I reached the point where I no longer wanted to deal with him, I was bombarded with email and phone calls from Richard, from "lawyers" (who, curiously, would not say they actually represented Richard), and even his mother trying to force me to meet him somewhere, without my husband or my attorney, to "settle" this. He wanted to compel me to continue the barter arrangement through "arbitration". He contacted my friends, pressuring them to convince me to meet him somewhere. When I refused, he threatened that "someone" would make a false report to CPS about me.

We hired a lawyer, who determined that Omega Organization was being run as a fraudulent business entity. Richard/Omega had no business license and had never registered with the Washington Department of Revenue, even though Richard had been collecting sales tax. Because of the fraud, I was able to have my lawyer void all contracts and releases I had signed for him.  Hasani's description

 JOANNE - JoAnne Kirley, Costume Designer.  King County Superior Court # 00-2-02323-5SEA

[Saqra here: JoAnne successfully sued Richard. It took 7 years from start to finish before she received her judgment because of his delay tactics, but her case does prove it can be done. She had a remarkable business lawyer. My own lawyer had told me not to pursue my case because Richard was a nut and likely to harass or stalk.... that seems to be a common opinion with lawyers of the victims, so people rarely really stick with pursuing justice. Had I known the number of victims out there I would have stuck. I regret that.]

JOANNE: Due to conditions of court, neither party can go into the details of the case itself. However, I can certainly describe his behavior -- from my point of view -- before and during the course of the case.

Werth tried unsuccessfully to overwhelm my council with a barrage of expensive and unrelated to the case litigation, including declarations, 44 pages of interrogatories, unsubstantiated restraining orders (which were not served as required by law, making it impossible to contest), a specious counter suit in Federal Court, as well as several delays and illegal attempts to contact me or my children outside council, including attempts by anonymous letters, family members, and attorneys other than his legal council -- a real ethics no-no (he got a stern warning from our judge in my Anti-Harassment case against him, concerning his "veiled threats" -- Her Honor's words -- sent via IM to my daughter).

He enlisted the help of a female friend to secretly audiotape me, attempting to use this as "evidence" (it was, rightly, not allowed). This same female would dress in a long wig, dark shades and a trench coat (!!!) to sit in on every court hearing -- her "testimony" was included in his case.This same female attempted to claim her "company" had brokered a deal to buy his "business" but the "deal" failed because of myself (not only her company but his proved to be non-existent, at least as far as the Washington Department of Revenue were concerned. An interesting fact, given that Werth had been collecting sales tax from clients for several years). This same female crafted several items for his arbitration packet, creating fake invoices for him to claim and fake checks (This female ended up herself allegedly being ripped off and sued by Werth later, for his alleged "injuries" received during an allegedly very minor fender-bender. They settled out of court).

Werth created fake documents and altered others and in one case, altered a sworn statement he requested from another female friend -- after she had signed and dated it (I found this out by going to her with his version and asking her if it was true and correct. She responded negatively and supplied me with a new statement. I still have that statement).

After losing in arbitration he did not satisfy the terms of the judgment for over FOUR YEARS -- and only after I had my attorney go after him yet again. He tried unsuccessfully to get the amount reduced by nearly half -- then paid with a cashier's check drawn from his elderly mother's personal account. To this day I have not received any of my other items, as per our agreement.

 DAVID CHERSKY - NUVIEW

[Saqra: Note: Remember.... there IS no Cameron or Margaret.]

TEMPORARILY ANONYMOUS RECORDING ARTIST - [Saqra: This was told to me by the artist in mid Jan '08. This artist is still thinking they have a shot through the legal system, so I am just going to tell a story about someone anonymous here pending their outcome, then I'll get an official statement. This has actually happened to several artists that I am aware of prior to this, but I hesitated to put up any stories when I didn't know amounts of investment and things.... people don't want to talk because they are embarrassed they may have signed something wothout understanding the impact. So here we go... this is all "allegedly."

Richard may have recorded a CD for an artist in 2002. They may have paid 17K for that privilege. Copyright may have been filed in 2004 by Richard Vanceunebrouck-Werth as composer, arranger, and producer without telling (reminding?) the artist that would be the case.

The artist can't get a copy of their contract from Richard (who ignores their attempt to contact) so they don't know if that was actually in the contract and they didn't realize it. But regardless the artist has no product, no 17K, and no rights to their work now.]

If you have a similar case please email saqra@saqra.net and I will be happy to hook you up with this woman. This one is easier to take to court with more corroboration of the malicious contract habits of Dick.

My name is Mariide and I was the Director of St. Elmo's Choir.

Richard was hired to engineer two cassette tapes of sea music. Not only did he over charge, he used effects and extra instrumentation that I did not ask for and
that detracted from the desired objective of the product. He also added himself to the mix on more than one song. Since this was an all-woman group,
this was totally unacceptable. He used his position with the project to approach other people to record. When they were dissatisfied with the
result, it harmed the choir's reputation. At the Folklife Festival, he began recording and videotaping people without permission and was asked to leave
the premises by me, as well as by the director of the festival. He retaliated by sending letters to the members of the choir, trying to stir up
trouble, and the choir broke up as a direct result [see Michael Kraft's similar story ~S]. I finally fired him from the project, but not before we had overpaid him for the product, including
sales tax, which, we found out later, he did not have the authority to collect, as he was not registered to do business in the state of Washington
in 1992, and which, according to the Department of Revenue, was never paid to them. He deliberately lied to me as to the cost of the project and hid
the amount he was charging the Executive Producer. The books he showed me were completely different than the ones that he showed Dane. I would never
have allowed Dane to spend that much money on the project if I had known.

During this time period, I also contracted him for a project of recording the farewell concert for The Last Exit on Brooklyn, a well-known
coffeehouse. We agreed upon a price and he recorded the evening. He gave me a poor quality cassette to listen to and decide which pieces would be on the
final master. After deciding, I asked him when the master would be done and was informed that the price quoted wasn't for the whole project, which is
what he'd told me, but only for recording. Further, he wanted releases from all of the performers, with addresses and phone numbers. Since it was my
project, I felt that I was the only one who should have those releases and was afraid that he would try to exploit these people as he had others [my story as well ~S], as I
have already stated. Subsequently, I decided that the only thing I could do was to shelve the project. I paid him money for a product that I never
received, was defamed by him and saw my reputation tarnished as a result.

  SHEILA CHATELAINE

Saqra writing: Someone, I would assume Richard Carl "Vanceunebrouck" "RVW" Werth director of World Meditation Ensemble and self-proclaimed music producer, has photoshopped her name off the cover of their collaborative tape "Affinity." See  http://www.richardvwerth.com/ for the photoshopped version. The original (which I have been given by a purchaser of the original tape) says "RICHARD V.-WERTH on the left top, then a round bullet, then SHEILA CHATELAINE at the right top where a blank spot now resides on the version on Richard "Vanceunebrouck" Werth's pages. Everything co-written, performances listed as being by "AFFINITY" and Affinity described as being Richard and Sheila together. She has been Photoshopped off..... watch out World Meditation Ensemble folks hoping for some kind of fame.... or even credit, eh?

Of 9 selections, Sheila composed 4, Dick composed 3, and the remaining two were Dick's re-hash of someone else's work.   The NAMA award went to the "New Age Band, Affinity", not to Dick, and Sheila was the primary composer for Affinity.  On his website, Dick refers to the Affinity project as his alone.  It's not.

AFTER Dick sold someone the Affinity tape, he fessed up that he really didn't have the right to sell her one at all "because Sheila wouldn't consent to further sales," and he blamed [the non-existant] "Margaret" for "accidentally" selling it to her. The purchaser was charged sales tax on the sale ... and Richard "Vanceunebrouck" Werth and Omega Organization International didn't have any business license.

Tape cover, tape, receipt all available.

[UPDATE 8/18/09 - went on the WME website... someone asked me something about the title song under the page... and noticed that there is a smear of type where Sheila's name was again! Yay! It may be unreadable but at least it is back to the credited original. If someone notices the modified cover on a different page please mention it. Otherwise consider this a little victory for artists everywhere.You CAN get back some of what you've lost! ~S]

MICHAEL KRAFT

My wife is a bellydancer, and in 2004, I organized a group of drummers called Raks Rafiki to perform live music for bellydancers.  The format was designed for beginning drummers, and it proved to be a big success with both drummers and dancers over the four years that I kept it running.

Richard disrupted the group.  His methods were very subtle, and in some cases, it took me a little while after the dust settled to realize just what he had done.  Just trying to describe each attack in brief fashion is challenging. 

He tried to take control of the group.  He told me he did not intend to donate his time for much longer, and he expected that he would get paid for the great expertise he offered to us.  He also tried to get us to let him use a microphone at performances, so that he could then become the star performer with the rest of the troupe merely as backup.  He set himself above the rules that applied to everyone else.  For example, he refused to wear the outfit that everyone else was wearing: matching black vest and headpiece.

Richard organized secret extra practice times for a few select drummers who thought he was awesome, but Richard made sure that no one would tell me.  He used those secret practices to advance his own agenda for taking over the group.

Richard poisoned the group energy.  We had been one big happy family, but when Richard got started, we were divided into different camps that either disliked Richard or saw him as the savior of the group.  Several drummers quit because they didn’t like the sudden onset of “heavy politics” swirling around Richard.

Richard disrupted a live performance at Folklife Festival, and caused one drummer to get so upset that he quit the troupe in mid performance.  That drummer later called me to apologize and to say he didn’t understand why he felt compelled to act in such an uncharacteristic manner. 

The drummers were mostly men, but our target audience was women.  When we played for the bellydancers, Richard was not very subtle in the way he hit on the most attractive dancer in the room.  That angered many of the drummers, who felt he was only using the troupe as a way to go after cute, young bellydancers. 

[Saqra: When his alias was exposed we discovered he had hit on one of my own students who was participating.]

After six weeks, I could take no more and I asked Richard to leave the troupe.   Richard responded with lengthy email attacks sent to all the other drummers in the troupe.

After Richard left, I discovered he had a long history of doing bad things, and I found that every experienced bellydance teacher already knew a lot more about him than I did.  I felt embarrassed to have fallen to his game, but they universally commended me for reacting as quickly as I did to kick him out.  I spoke to several of his victims, and learned of many, many others he had victimized.  I felt compelled to spread a warning.

I mentioned his name on the listserv for the local drummer community, and he launched an attack.  The first email sent to me was cleverly designed to look as though it had been posted publicly to the whole group of drummers.  It said some very negative things about me, and it was shocking to think that all of those nasty things had been said in public.  That email was soon followed by a second email, pointing out that it had not actually been published and warning me that it was an example of what would be published if I didn’t behave.  The listserv tracked down the email, and found it had been registered only the day before on Hotmail, so it was untraceable, but the listserv started a new policy to prevent such attacks in the future.  

A month or two later, I was thinking about putting up posters at Medfest [Saqra: "Medfest" is a large annual Seattle belly dance festival - Mediterranean Fantasy Festival]  with his photo and his many alias names .  I mentioned that plan to only one person, who was obviously a mole for Richard.  The next day, I received a threatening voice mail from Richard, warning me not to put up the posters.

I later discovered he was planning a business arrangement with an artist who I know as one of the moms at my child’s school.  I warned her about all the past stories I had heard from other victims, and at first, she was very skeptical of my story.  Several months later, I saw her again at a school function and she told me she was very grateful for the warning, as Richard had turned out to be exactly as I had described him.

I found that most people were very reluctant to believe that such a person could actually exist, even when I showed them solid evidence.  Rather, they wanted to shoot the messenger.  I think this must be a basic human reaction, and Richard is very adept at using it to his advantage. For example, I found a few drummers on the drummer listserv who suddenly seemed to hate me, and often, they were people I had never even met.  That did not happen with the bellydance community, since his reputation was simply too widespread and well known. 

If a victim remains quiet, then he is free to find an endless stream of new victims.  But if we dare to warn others, then he convinces people that the messengers must be the bad guys for saying such terrible things about him.  His victims are therefore put into a very uncomfortable ethical dilemma, and while we struggle deciding what to do, he is already busy digging deeply into the next target.  

Thank you Saqra for all your courage. [Saqra: Thank you for your story, Michael. I know this was actually a much worse situation than it reads here. It is impossible to communicate the fear and frustration that happens in the situation I know you experienced. Anyone reading this... the closest I can come to describing the feeling is if you are a homeowner with neighbor kids that break and enter and play with matches... and they specifically don't like YOU. Crazy stuff.]

SAHABRA TIPTON & SHERRI

[This is a long story by a social victim who was friends with an abused girldfriend of Richards. This is a set of journal entries of what Sahabra observed and experienced firsthand day to day in her interactions with Dick, and comments on what her friend was telling her. Facinating read but very very long and needs some editing before I can put it up here. Coming very soon, so I'm formatting the location with this entry. ~S]

CHECKING THOSE TESTIMONIALS - WORLD MEDITATION ENSEMBLE & RVW

Received 1/14/08:

 Dear Saqra,

 SEVA

I have been getting second hand reports that the incredible service organization SEVA wants their info removed from the World Meditation Ensemble sites but can't get Richard VWerth / Werth / etc or anyone from WME to respond to their contacts. Apparently SEVA's info was used without permission and the declarations of support by World Meditation Ensemble are misleading. Checking into this further.
