and Tour Guide (US and France)

*Special Date due to the Holidays

WHAT: Monthly Speaker/Dinner Meeting

WHY: Mission: The Scottsdale Society of Women Writers gives members access to events of interest, a format for exchanging ideas, an opportunity to network with other women writers and authors, an alliance with professionals relating to writing, publishing, and marketing of books, and camaraderie and support.

SPEAKER 6:45 Nancy Safford, author, photojournalist and tour guide
Nancy Safford’s career began as a photographer, a photojournalist 25 years ago. She was fascinated with other people’s stories and published her first book as a young photographer in her mid-twenties. She had many photo shows, did magazine stories and has in fact photographed for two more books to be published.
While working for a magazine in upstate New York, she formed her own non-profit research institute and trained teachers to work together using the Nobel Prize winning physics concept holography. She then curated a popular show at the New York State Museum called, “Holography in The Classroom”.
One day she was called to the southwest, to Sedona, Arizona and let go of everything she had been doing. Her new book, A Magdalene Awakens. Hidden Temple Secrets, published in March 2017, talks about this story.
She will discuss her journey to uncover her lost truth, her deepest self, in a place far beyond what she had imagined possible.
Nancy became a spiritual guide in Sedona and invited people to explore the famous red rock vortices of Sedona, where they could be changed by the energies of each special place. She began facilitating women’s circles as an ordained Priestess of the Mary Magdalene Mysteries and then began guiding people on pilgrimages to sacred sites in southern France as a bilingual guide.
She began to explore legacies and wisdom teachings that stretched back to the ancient goddess and priestess cultures from long ago when she facilitated these journeys to southern France, exploring the Magdalene legacies present there. These visions included something that had been hidden there long ago, left near the famous village of Rennes Le Chateau. This tiny village had gained worldwide attention after the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, came out in 1982 and again after The DaVinci Code was published in 2004.
