Table Conversations

A dinner conversation series for leaders & practitioners exploring faith, culture, and community in the Pacific Northwest
About this Event

You are a leader, or you are married to one. You solve problems, make decisions, and tend to the hearts of others. You shepherd, inspire, and encourage. You take care of so many people and oversee so many projects, and sometimes—even if you deeply love what you do—it can feel overwhelming and lonely.

Welcome to Table Conversations. This is an evening designed to feed your body and your soul alongside people who simply “get it.”

• This event is hosted by the Center for Transforming Engagement and led by Kate Walters
• Registration: To register for this event, please go to our website: https://transformingengagement.org/church-leadership-training/fall-2026-table-conversation-september/ or https://transformingengagement.org/catalog/
• Price: $40 (includes your meal)

You are invited to join an intimate group of 6-8 folks for a nourishing meal. This is a space for emotional and spiritual encouragement, support, and cultivating trusted relationships with other leaders.

To help us truly slow down, reflect, and connect, we will put our phones away and take a gentle break from discussing work or family. You may or may not know the people around the table, but you are invited to come with a curious mind and an open heart, ready to move past small talk into life-giving conversation.

September 21 | Theme: Becoming
How are you changing in this season of leadership? This evening will focus on the ongoing process of becoming—honoring the ways we are growing, shifting, and being formed. We will explore what it means to embrace the messy, beautiful work of personal and spiritual evolution when you are usually the one expected to guide others.
