The lecture series runs the second Monday of the each month from January through April at the Sedona United Methodist Church, 110 Indian Cliffs Road, and begins at 7:00 p.m. Tickets, $6 for MNA and Sedona Muses members and $7 for nonmembers, are available for purchase at Bashas’ in Sedona, Weber’s IGA at the Village of Oak Creek, or at the door beginning at 6:30 p.m. the evening of the event.

    “This series is a wonderful opportunity for the public to learn more about the art, culture and natural history of the Colorado Plateau,” said Sedona Muses board member Rebecca DeVault. “This season’s presenters will share unforgettable stories and insight into the region’s most extreme terrain, geological wonders, species and adventurers.” 

    20161219_under-devas-sway-by-bruce-aikenFlagstaff painter Bruce Aiken opens the series with “Extreme Art” on Monday, January 9. For 33 years the artist lived within Grand Canyon while working for the National Park Service. Living in the bottom of the Canyon gave him time to study its landscape in detail, one layer at a time. As a result he produced hundreds of paintings, drawings and pastels capturing its beauty. Aiken will share stories, photos and images of his work during the lecture and also discuss the extremes he endures to capture his subjects. He will also highlight his recent visit to another remote area of the world, Mount Everest.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
