Hi friends, our latest Radical Mystics podcast is what we hope will be the first in a long series of interviews — friendly conversations with fellow seekers, mystics, contemplatives, perennialists, punks, ferals, radicals, and whoever else happens to happen along.
Our inaugural RadMystConvo took place on September 28, 2026, as Debonee and Skye sat down with Lisa Colon Delay of the legendary Spark My Muse podcast. We divided our conversation into two parts: the first part, hosted by Spark My Muse, features Lisa interviewing us on our vision for this Radical Mystics newsletter and podcast; we took over the host responsibilities for the second part, where we invite Lisa to share insights into her new book, The Way of the Desert Elders: How the Wisdom of Ancient Christians Sustains Us Today.

As the title suggests, it is a dive into the spirituality and literature of the desert mothers and fathers — radical mystics of the ancient world. Lisa’s perspective on these ancient hermits and spiritual directors is insightful and helpful whether you’re new to the desert elders or have been hanging out with their words for many years.
So check out Lisa’s book as well as her podcast…
