We create space for God to strengthen the souls of leaders and transform communities.
For 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 invite leaders in and outside the Church to experience what happens when they practice ancient, sacred rhythms in the context of a safe and loving community. From 2-day retreats to 2-year journeys, we offer immersive training experiences on spiritual formation themes and practices with companions from diverse backgrounds and theological traditions.
Transforming Resources® — We create books, podcasts, articles, and teachings designed to guide and support your spiritual journey, equipping and empowering you to lead others.
