 Lisa M DeLay

Lisa Colón DeLay is a Puertorican-born author, broadcaster, teacher, and spiritual companion who centers her projects on spiritual formation. Her first book "The Wild Land Within: Cultivating Wholeness to Spiritual Practice" offers insights into our unseen interior world where memories, wounds, fears, hopes, and potential reside; and features historically marginalized perspectives. Her second book "The Way of the Desert Elders: How Ancient Christians Can Sustain Us Today" features the lives, stories, and wisdom of the spiritual Fathers and Mothers in the Desert Movement Era of Christianity (circa 300-600 CE). The insights on spiritual practices and the nine "afflicting thoughts" move us toward faithfulness, virtue, and freedom from the vices we continue to struggle with in our time. website: lisadelay.com desert website: desert.lisadelay.com youtube: youtube.com/@Saprkmymuse Substack: sparkmymuse.substack.com insta: @lisacolondelay facebook: facebook.com/lisacolondelay
