Meet Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel,
Senior Minister

Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel is a longtime student of metaphysics and a spiritual teacher in the mystical tradition. Patricia was the Founding Minister of Unity of Berkeley 2000-2013 and is Minister of Unity of Santa Rosa. Her study and frequent trips to India over the past 18 years bring a unique depth to her work as East meets Western spirituality. 

Rev. Dr. Patricia is passionate about helping seekers find their inner connection to the Divine, and to guide people out of stress and disconnection into the creative field of authentic purpose and possibility. Her work as a spiritual teacher, healer, speaker, author and facilitator/trainer spans over 33 years with diverse groups from all cultures, faiths, and traditions.

Patricia is a bestselling author in the 2021 Vol. 5 Ultimate Guide to Self-Healing...Chapter 10-Divine Discontent: Finding Your True Self in Times of Transition.

After a number of years without a Unity Minister, in October 1, 2022, Unity of Santa Rosa hired Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel as our Minister. Patricia speaks 2-3 times a month and offers leadership, inspiration and guidance to our ministry. In addition, we have several other ministers, teachers, and speakers who make our Sundays rich, lively, thought-provoking, and touching.
