Rev. Kelly Isola

Rev. Kelly Isola is an evolutionary leader in the Unity movement with a passion and commitment to awakening and inspiring individuals worldwide to a greater realization of their own divinity. She is dedicated to transforming the world by living an engaged spiritual life through a consciousness of wisdom and compassion. She invites every individual to embrace the inner path of healing and transformation, as well as demonstrating the outer path of compassionate service.

Born a global villager with the soul of a gypsy, and having a father with a career as a commercial airline pilot, Kelly has spent her life visiting and residing in countries around the globe, including Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Kenya, Rwanda, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. So it is comes as no surprise that she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Archaeology. Her focus and excavation experience over the years has been on Native American history and culture, especially in the Southwest and Northeast, as well as ancient civilizations in Africa and the Middle East. For the last 7 years Kelly has deepened her studies of Biblical Archaeology in preparation for ministry.

She is a master at creating transformative retreats, rituals, ceremonies and alternative services using music, storytelling, laughter, tears and meditation as catalysts for spiritual transformation. Kelly is sought after as a captivating, funny, inspiring and charismatic speaker and teacher.

Kelly is the minister for Spiral Pathways, an alternative ministry committed to advancing the evolution of consciousness and spirituality with individuals and organizations. She is Level I & II Certified in Spiral Dynamics by Dr. Don Beck and she hosts her own Unity.FM radio show, “Spiraling Consciousness.”  She also serves as a BePeace Trainer, a Facilitator of Healthy Congregations Workshops, a Facilitator for the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium and is an adjunct faculty member for the Spiritual Enrichment & Education Program (S.E.E.) at Unity Institute. She is also a certified coach for the Spiritual Intelligence Assessment.

As a Certified Unity Peaceworker and Transitional Consultant she partners with churches to help them understand their past, make peace with it, and co-create a shared vision for their future. She works with individuals, churches and youth groups using conflict coaching, mediation and Spiritual Direction. Through her continued education and training with the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, Nonviolent Communication and other peacemaking skills, as well as her personal practice of meditation, she continues to learn to embody the spiritual practice of conflict transformation.
