Conflict is a normal part of life. The question becomes, What is our relationship to the conflict we experience? As we embrace conflict, we can discover the valuable gift it has to offer us. Listen to Rev. Kelly with her special guest, Rev. Lori Woodley, as they share the tools and teachings of connection in conflict through our presence and our words. Though this powerful practice of learning to connect deeply to ourselves and others, we learn new ways to co-exist, thrive and co-create peace in ways that appear miraculous.

The extraordinary events in our world continue to unfold ... the Middle East, Obama, Occupy Wall Street, and beyond. So what do you think? Are we currently seeing evolution, revolution or regression taking place? Joining Rev. Kelly Isola in conversation for this episode are Jeff Salzman, co-founder of Boulder Integral, and creator of The Integral Incubator, and David Riordan, vice president of Media Development for Integral Life, Inc. Listen in as we try to make integral and spiral sense of the ongoing revolutions in our world.

Our global community continues to go through dramatic change, ecologically, financially and politically. What can we do as individuals to contribute to a world that works for all people? What impact can one person have on creating an abundant, sustainable future for generations to come? In this episode, we talk with Mindy Audlin, former host of The Leading Edge, and author of Let It Begin With Me: 21 Voices of the New Peace Movement.

In this episode Rev. Kelly and her guest and co-author Rima Bonario talk about Occupy Wall Street through the lens of Spiral Dynamics, as well as look at paradigm shifts and discuss questions such as, What does OWS have to do with me? How does it affect my spiritual path? What is my role to play? Listen to a lively discussion about Occupy Wall Street and Occupy everything that may produce more questions than answers!

Developed by Ken Wilber over the past 30 years, Integral Theory has emerged as a truly 21st-century world philosophy. Its core framework integrates the fundamental truths of nearly every human endeavor into a cohesive model of human understanding and growth. While it may seem daunting and complex, the beauty of Integral Theory is its simplicity. This episode will offer a fun and practical way to gain insight into this theory and what shapes our instinctual way of seeing and doing in the world. It also enables us to enjoy more meaningful relationships. We also recognize that most of our emotional pain occurs because we tell ourselves an inaccurate story about who we are and what we think we need in order to live a rich and inspiring life. That gap between the story we tell ourselves and the deeper sense of self-understanding must be brought into the light if we are to experience living with freedom and fullness. So what at first seems to be overly theoretical turns out to be a new way of looking at your world.

Ceremony and rituals are an important and essential part of our lives. From the beginning of time, humans have performed them for many reasons: birth, death, coming of age, marriage, full moons, seasons, as preparation for a journey, and to celebrate important events. In this episode Rev. Kelly will take an historic look at ritual as it connects with every level of the Spiral, including religion, worship and spirituality.

Sometimes understanding Spiral Dynamics can get a little overwhelming and even too intellectual or heady. In this episode, Rev. Kelly and Rev. Lauri will talk about their own personal journey with the Spiral: where the vMemes show up in their lives, how to reclaim the healthy aspects of each level, and how the different stages of development, from Beige to Turquoise, are made manifest in life.

"The Lord's Prayer" is Christianity's greatest prayer; it is also Christianity's strangest prayer. Did Jesus share this prayer for the few? Or was it offered as a prayer from the heart of a Jewish mystic for the whole world to embrace? On today's program, Kelly will take a look at this revolutionary manifesto and hymn of hope from it's beginning to what it can mean for us today as Christianity continues to evolve.

Was Jesus the one and only son of God or was he simply one of history’s many significant spiritual leaders? Was he a miracle worker who walked on water and rose from the dead, or are these stories about his life simply metaphors imbued with timeless spiritual and moral truths? In this interview, my guest Bruce Sanguin, a leader in the Evolutionary Christianity movement, joins Rev. Kelly Isola to talk about how he’s applying cutting-edge models of human development to explain why Jesus means so many different things to so many different people.

The Enneagram is a personality system (with nine Enneagram styles) that offers uncanny and powerful insights into why we think, feel and act the way we do. Listen to Kelly's special guest, Leslie Hershberger, a certified Enneagram teacher, talk about the importance of discovering your type, which supports your spiritual growth by seeing your underlying motivations and the basic belief you have about the world. By understanding your type, you identify your coping strategy and keys for personal and professional development.
