Local writer and ward-winning author Annette McGivney has an important new book and we get to read it with her!

A charlatan running a bogus Native American sweat lodge ritual. Three people dead in Sedona, AZ and many more seriously injured. McGivney reveals the truth behind the new age influencer who got rich peddling expensive seminars and wellness retreats. Along the way, she exposes the dark side of the wellness "industry," the exploitation of native traditions, and the deep desire for meaning and belonging that makes many of us open to manipulation.

Reading-action group meets in person on Sept. 17 and Oct. 19 and on-line on Nov. 2.

This program is offered in partnership with Sacred Land Alliance
