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

Join award-winning author Amy M. Hale for an engaging exploration of place, nature, and the sacred everyday.
Hale lives and works on Spider Ranch, a 50,000-acre cattle operation in the rugged terrain of Central Arizona, where she and her husband, Gail Steiger, cowboy together while working to raise food sustainably and care for the land in partnership with government agencies.
Hale and Steiger frequently share the stage, blending storytelling, poetry, and music in performances inspired by their deep connection to the land and natural world.
In her sixth book, "Drinking Wild Water" (TTUP, 2025), Hale explores the landscapes she inhabits and invites readers to discover and inhabit their own place in the world. Her distinctive voice, shaped by flash writing and slam poetry, offers a thoughtful perspective for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with the everyday and looking to move beyond what is safe but limiting.
Admission is $15 for non-members and $10 for museum members.
