**Editor’s Note** It is with great plea­sure that we share our first fea­tured mem­ber of Tiferet!  If you would like to be fea­tured you can click here and fill out the brief form.

As I was work­ing out the details of this first post I thought I’d also ask Nancy if she had a photo or quote that rep­re­sented her def­i­n­i­tion of “bal­ance”. Below is the photo she shared is one she did in the 80’s that still rep­re­sents her idea of inner balance.

“Por­tal”

Find­ing the ‘still-point’ of inner bal­ance in a tur­bu­lent world.

Nancy Wait | Artist, Author, Actress, Radio Host

Nancy lives in New York City. In 2011 she pub­lished her first mem­oir, The Nancy Who Drew, and is cur­rently work­ing on a follow-up book.

Her first career was that of an actress in Eng­land in the 1970s (as Nan­cie Wait), and after a spir­i­tual awak­en­ing in 1976 she shifted over to paint­ing. In 1987, when the ener­gies changed again, she began to study writ­ing, as she was now being guided to write about her life and the trans­for­ma­tional jour­ney she expe­ri­enced through paint­ing her inner life. Since 2009 she has been shar­ing her expe­ri­ences and those of her guests on the Blog Talk Radio show, Art and Ascen­sion, and in the fall of 2011 she began a new show called Danc­ing In The Shift. Nancy is also a writ­ing coach and edi­tor, as well as a por­trait artist, a voice and speech coach, and the mother of a college-age son.

We invite you to con­nect with Nancy and read some of her posts on Tiferet.
