As with any deeply transformative work, we must start with ourselves and our own consciousness before we can invite others to follow us. Rev. Kelly has collaborated with Rima Bonario to create a program called "Eight Steps to Creating Conscious Community" that supports individual and collective spiritual evolution. In this episode, they will share their insights about how to create a lasting impact in spiritual communities—one that sparks true individual and community transformation.

The 13th-century Persian poet Rumi was the supreme mystic poet of humanity and is now the most widely read spiritual writer in America. Rev. Kelly's guest this week, Andrew Harvey, has been studying Rumi's work for 30 years and will present his electric vision of Rumi’s life, mystical journey and Divine philosophy, stressing their essential importance to the massive transformation that is taking place in our contemporary crisis. Listen in and be nourished with this sacred passion shared from the Sufi tradition.

This week we take a look at the evocative shift occurring within Christianity. Guest Leslie Hershberger is a teacher, facilitator and coach helping to forge a truly integral path for the Christian tradition. Topics will include reinterpreting the ancient wisdom of Jesus' teachings for today's world to embody a 21st-century Christianity, and incorporating transformative practices forgotten by the Western world. Listen in for an enlightening conversation that was cut short in May (and didn’t air) by a tornado warning at the Unity Online Radio studio!

Rev. Kelly's guest for this episode week is Bruce Sanguin, minister of United Church of Canada and author of If Darwin Prayed: Prayers for Evolutionary Mystics. These are new prayers for a new age. They spark the spiritual imagination back to life and re-orient us to a mystical unity with the universe, Spirit, and all of creation. Emerging out of the conversation between the science of evolution and spirituality, these Christian prayers continually surprise with their earthy wisdom and a profound celebration of life. Listen in for a 21st-century look at centuries-old sacred traditions.

Oftentimes as we move along our path of spiritual evolution, we have religious experiences that are distressing, or we discover that the religion of our childhood no longer serves us. Rev. Kelly's guest is Dustin DiPerna, who will clue us in to how religion itself can be expressed through multiple lenses and various levels of awareness, offering us great insight into three filters: Social Filter, Cultural Filter and Individual Filter. We use these various ways to see how religion shows up in our daily lives so that we no longer need to throw the baby out with the religious bath water!

Andrew Harvey believes that the survival of humanity depends upon the fullest possible restoration of the powers, passions, and glories of the Divine Feminine. Andrew joins Rev. Kelly this week to share his vision of the recovery of the Divine Feminine, which makes possible the significance and truth of the Sacred marriage: a full fusion of the sacred masculine and sacred feminine on every level to birth a new humanity and an era in which human beings awaken to their full potential and embody divine love in action.

More and more, spiritual leaders and activists are coming together in search of unity and harmony in addressing the crises facing humanity and the earth. A new one-hour documentary, Globalized Soul, chronicles the worldwide phenomenon of "interreligious or interfaith dialogue," the distinctive spiritual journey of the 21st century. The producers, Kell Kearns and Cynthia Lukas, join Rev. Kelly for a global view of living from the heart of compassion.

Based on Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault's latest book, The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity, Rev. Kelly will share insights presented by Ken Wilber and the author. There are few figures in Christian literature as provocative, as controversial, and as mysterious as Mary Magdalene: the "apostle of apostles" who, according to some apocryphal texts, was Jesus' most beloved disciple. We will explore the life and lessons of one of Christianity's most important women and reveal a startling new understanding of the radical intimacy shared by Jesus and Mary, as well as a largely unacknowledged path of conscious love that might be called a type of "Christian Tantra"—a path of devotion and mutuality that is full of ecstatic bliss, and free from inhibition or repression of any kind.
