Tina felt cookies in the forecast today. 🍪 Occasionally stopping to enjoy a treat in the middle of a busy day on a retreat prep week is needed for our sanity. 😉

We create space for God to strengthen the souls of leaders and transform communities—from the center out.
About us
We create space for God to strengthen the souls of leaders and transform communities. For over 20 years, the Transforming Center has provided retreats, relationships, and resources for those who long to keep seeking God in the crucible of leadership. We serve leaders and influencers of purposeful communities – churches, non-profits, and businesses – who long for new rhythms that allow them to flourish in their life and leadership. If we’re honest, over time many Christian leaders experience a disconnect between their outer life and their inner life – the presence of God deep within. For this reason, we walk with pastors and leaders, helping them distinguish God’s voice beyond all the noise so they can lead from that place. In a time of deconstruction – within the church and within ourselves – our community has spent over 20 years reconstructing leaders and their vision for the church, guiding them in ancient sacramental practices that breathe life back into them and their communities. Grounded in a highly ecumenical approach, we reflect and welcome the diversity that is present in the Body of Christ. Our gatherings include leaders from all denominations, a variety of businesses, and many organizations like International Justice Mission (IJM), Compassion International, and Neighborhood Film Co. The retreats, resources, and relationships we offer are designed to provide you with a safe place to be honest about the challenges of spiritual leadership; to experience rhythms of solitude, prayer, and community; and to deepen your understanding of leadership that flows from your transforming self. In everything we do, the Transforming Center seeks to be trustworthy, spacious, communal, practical, prophetic, and biblical. “On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul.” —Psalm 138:3

Dalene has been such a wonderful support to me for 17 years!
Dalene Morgan Strieff is retiring this week from full time ministry at the Transforming Center after 17 years of faithful service! While we hold so much gratitude and grief as we say goodbye, we had to have a little fun and live out our value of Celebration today. Enjoy!

We celebrate #Pentecost this Sunday and it signals the beginning of Ordinary Time—not because it is boring or unimportant but because the presence of the Spirit transforms us in everyday life to be conduits for the outpouring of Christ’s love and grace. https://lnkd.in/gWuYpEu6

Our staff spent the morning with Milton C. Stewart, MBA and Chelsea Forbrook as they led us through an Enneagram and Whiteness workshop. It was meaningful and challenging! Milton and Chelsea held our experience with care and honesty. We are looking forward to our continued processing of this important work as a part of our ongoing diversity journey together.
