Our Mission:
Transformation Center for Spirituality Education is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community-based learning organization providing an opportunity for the exchange of transforming spirituality through classes, workshop programs, day retreats, spiritual coaching, meditation groups, spiritual book clubs, inspirational speakers, and Sunday discussion groups. We offer a place, a conscious lifestyle, and contemplative experience for all people longing for a deeper relationship beyond religion with the divine Source of life, with self, and with others in the healing love of Spirit.
My spiritual awakening began in 1980 when I was on a retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains in California. I was drowning in a sea of diapers and stuck in a loveless marriage with four young children. I began to consider the possibility of getting a divorce. The retreat center was a getaway on weekends for me where I contemplated making a decision to move forward with my life.
After a terrible night of struggle, the dark night of the soul, I woke up early and decided to take the trail outside my room to a mountaintop where I was told I could see the Pacific Ocean.
When I reached the top, the sun was rising and I experienced arms around me and was told that I was “deeply loved.” I felt one with the presence of the Source of life and all creation. It was a deep and intimate union, a mystical experience.
This relationship with Source turned my world upside down and has been with me for my entire life. I did get a divorce and spent the next years raising my four children as a single parent. When they left I decided to go to graduate school where I received my Master of Divinity degree in Transformational Spirituality.
I knew I had a destiny so I created a spirituality center in Marin California to help others open to a mystical experience which is available to everyone who seeks it..
