Carly Liberi
Operations & Communications Director
Carly arrived at Unity Denver due to her strong connection to Unity's interfaith values. Although she was raised with Presbyterian and Southern Baptist roots, she never found alignment with traditional churches. From a young age, she has followed her inner calling to various traditions and spiritual paths, finding a sense of truth in each avenue she searched.
In her eyes, it is through connection that our individual and collective truths emerge. As a student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate program at Regis University, Carly regularly plays at the intersection of depth psychology, spirituality, and holistic wellbeing – purposefully crafting her life through the rhythms of the heart.
In her work at Unity and beyond, she aims to support individuals in the search for their part in the divine "play", and in revealing the message behind life’s offerings. As Ram Dass said, “We are all just walking each other home.”

Lisa Yelenick
Youth & Family Ministry Director
Lisa Yelenick began coming to Unity Spiritual Center in 1979. The Unity teaching strongly resonated with her then, and now, 43 years later, she continues attending classes locally and at Unity Village. Lisa began volunteering in the Youth Ministry in 1983 and has worked with all age groups. She began serving as the Youth & Family Ministry Director in 1995 and continues in that role today.
She served as our “Unity South Central Region’s” Teen Ministry Consultant for 11 years. Lisa has raised her five children in the Unity Way from day one. This is one of her most favorite accomplishments. She has and continues to create curriculum that inspires fun and meaningful learning for the youth. Creating a safe and engaging environment grounded in unconditional love and recognizing the Christ Light in our children and youth is one of the pillars of the youth education program. Welcoming, training and serving alongside the youth education volunteers is a joyous endeavor. Living the Unity teachings has expanded her understanding of what it means to be a holy child of God and even more deeply – that the light, energy and pure potential that is God is actively at work in and through her in every moment. We are all connected. We are One, individually expressing. These are the messages she strives to acknowledge, nurture and draw forth in the children. Growing in this awareness is essential to our future. Working at “ground level” with our youth is her great privilege and honor.
