She is from Taos, NM.  Elizabeth first encountered Lyla at The Festival of Faiths annual gathering in Louisville, KY.  She was struck by Lyla’s fierce presence, which she interpreted as a strong connection to the wisdom of her spiritual lineage. In this interview Elizabeth and Lyla discuss the nature of creativity, prayer, self love, and the notion that “all we have to do is change everything."
