The History of New Age Sedona
The Keys of Enoch Study Group Our eldest active New Age citizen is Gladys Iris Clark, 102 in 1997. She writes, "When I first arrived at Sedona in 1981, I was captivated by a powerful vortex around Airport Hill. To be specific, it was at Rainbow Focus where a "New Age" festivity was taking place. I had come from Santa Barbara, California, where I expected to be settled for the rest of my life and where ashes of my spouse of 62 years were scattered. On my return home to Santa Barbara, I just had to pack up and move to Sedona, regardless! Here I was meeting and enjoying knowing my kind of people. New Agers!" Iris Clark, as she became known, remembers the Monday night meditation class hosted by Alon and Alina where she met most of Sedona's early New Agers. Lehman Heisey taught Keys of Enoch (based on the book by James J. Hurtak) in Sedona for 15 years. Iris assisted for eight years before taking on full-fledged duties as hostess and teacher. Mary Lou Keller used to take her and some other local women around to various events when they could no longer drive at night. Iris Clark still leads the class on Keys of Enoch at her home on Tuesday
afternoons.
