KISHORI &
THE KARTELS

Kishori (Kelly) Skinner returns home to The OM Festival for her fourth year, and we couldn’t be more delighted to welcome this beloved OM’ie back into the mountain magic. Kelly’s presence is a living transmission of joy, devotion, beauty, and deep heart-opening transformation.

A Bhakti Yogi, spiritual teacher, and devoted practitioner, Kelly serves as a conduit of divine love—inviting others to remember their true nature and fall in love with life itself. Her teachings are rooted in Bhakti Yoga, meditation, Reiki, and sacred end-of-life work, all offered with tenderness, reverence, and grace. Her medicine supports beings in living radiantly and meeting life’s transitions with peace, awareness, and love.

An integral part of Kelly’s path is chanting and leading Kirtan, which she describes as collective prayer—a joyful call for the divine to be felt and embodied together. Based in Burlington, Vermont, she leads weekly yoga classes, offers free community Kirtans with her band Kelly & the Kartels, and guides international retreats that weave devotion, movement, mantra, and meditation.

Through her work with Kelly Skinner Inc., she offers group and one-on-one journeys focused on energetic healing, spiritual deepening, and living yoga as a devotional way of life. Kelly’s teaching is infused with warmth, presence, and devotion—creating spaces where transformation feels natural, joyful, and beautifully human.

We are honored to welcome Kelly back once again—an anchor of heart, song, and sacred remembrance at The OM Festival
