[7] After a year on the road, Mary and Haven founded a church in the Odd Fellows Hall in Beaverton, Oregon, after they felt they had received divine guidance to start a ministry.

By 1997 the church were engaged in a campaign via a Portland Sunday TV message, advertising, and outreach programs, to grow the local congregation by an extra 200 members.

[9] LEC maintained an in-house bookstore, retreat center, cafe, an outreach television ministry, and an educational institution called the Cristofori School which taught children from kindergarten through third grade.

"[11] Many personalities within the New Age and New Thought communities conducted retreats at Namaste, including Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Shakti Gawain, Stanislav Grof, and Arun Gandhi.

[12] In April 1997, LEC launched Life Keys, a weekly taped television show hosted by Morrissey that was syndicated across several states including Washington, California, Arizona, and Texas, mainly on public access stations.

Morrissey's last talk distributed in the Life Keys series was entitled "The Right Questions to Ask" and was recorded on August 1, 2004.

In this last talk, Morrissey said her life was in "disarray", that her husband is in a mental hospital for depression and that she herself needed to take a break.

"[17] On April 17, Edward Morrissey pleaded guilty, admitting in federal court that he has defrauded members of LEC in soliciting $10.7 million in loans.

The fact that Mary Morrissey wasn't charged, despite also pressuring LEC members to make the loans, angered some of the plaintiffs.

[19] After a year in prison at Terminal Island, in August 2006, Edward Morrissey was transferred to a halfway house in Seattle.

[3] Willamette Week wrote that Steve Unger, lawyer for the Morrisseys, admitted that the couple had committed commingling.

On August 5, 2004, in an e-mail to her congregation, Morrissey announced her resignation as Senior Minister, President, and Board Member of Living Enrichment Center.

Mitchell wrote, "When the smoke cleared, Morrissey — who had once cozied up to the Dalai Lama and other world spiritual leaders — was divorced, houseless and in debt for more than $10 million.

"[36] After a year in prison at Terminal Island, in August 2006, Edward Morrissey was transferred to a halfway house in Portland, Oregon.

The Oregonian reported in 2007, that the organization of Life Soulutions has prompted questions from the state of Oregon because Morrissey's partner, Karen Hanzlik, in the venture receives as much as 40% of revenue, meaning that this portion is not required to be diverted to the restitution fund.

"State officials have asked Morrissey for documents detailing the corporate structure of LifeSoulutions," writes The Oregonian.

'"[43][44] KATU, Portland's ABC affiliate, reports that because Mary Morrissey was permanently prohibited from holding the position of Officer, Financial Manager or Financial Fiduciary for any charitable or religious non-profit entity, her current companies, Life Soulutions, Evolving Life Ministries, and her church in Lake Oswego, Oregon, are operated as for-profit entities.
