About the Author

Regina Sara Ryan, born in New York City in 1945, is currently at home in northern Arizona. A former Catholic nun, Regina has studied contemplation and mysticism from many traditions for over forty years. After leaving the convent in the early 1970s, Regina explored the lives of the great women of Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Sufism. Since meeting her own spiritual mentor, the Western Baul master Lee Lozowick in 1984, Regina has continued to follow what she calls a path of “unashamed devotion” in which she works to bring her life of contemplation into action. Since 1980, besides writing and freelance editing, she has worked in retreat settings and currently conducts several popular workshops in the U.S. and Europe. These include: “Training Attention for Prayer,” “Meetings with Remarkable Women,” about the feminine nature of the Divinity and “Writing Your Way Home,” about journal-writing as a means of spiritual enrichment and personal transformation. Married for 38 years, Regina lives in Paulden, Arizona with her husband Jerome Pramuk and her two grandchildren.
