Events by this speaker

Darleen Pryds explores the Franciscan spiritual tradition through both study and practice. She holds a Ph.D. in medieval history and taught at the Franciscan School of Theology from 2001-2026. Her books and articles consider how lay people--both men and women--live out Franciscan spirituality in authentic ways. She is a sought-after speaker for workshops, retreats, and lectures on Franciscan Spirituality and the Spirituality of Loss. In her spare time, she volunteers as a hospice caregiver, and she enjoys hiking in the Redwoods of northern California with her husband, Scott, and their dog, Zoey.
