Table Conversations

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-october/ 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.

October 19 | Theme: Belonging
Leadership often requires standing at the front of the room, which can make it hard to find your own place to simply sit and exist. This evening centers on belonging—finding spaces where you don’t have to perform, produce, or pastor. We will share a meal and reflect on what it means to cultivate a deep sense of home and connection.
