Meli serves as Organizational Development Manager at the Center for Spiritual Imagination, whose primary project is the Community of the Incarnation—a New Monastic community living as monks in the world through rhythms of prayer, ongoing conversion of life, and response to the cry of the poor and the earth. She recently took her final vows as a New Monk, committing to a lifelong Christian contemplative Rule of Life.
Drawing from her MA in Psychology from Columbia University’s Spirituality Mind-Body Institute, Meli integrates contemplation, developmental theory, and embodied practice in her work at the Center, as well as in her role as an Integral Professional Coach. Since 2020, she has supported visionary entrepreneurs and healers across business, education, and the nonprofit sector in navigating complex, spiritually rich evolutionary edges.
