Every year as the weather begins to warm, perennial plants throughout the grounds begin to emerge from their winter slumber. It is one of the miracles of Mother Nature that year after year, the lovely blossoms push their way through the hard earth and show their colors. Once in bloom they are nourished by sunlight and water, only to wither and turn brown as time passes. The cycle of life continues. 

We can find in these lovely gifts of nature a metaphor for our own journey. Although the world continues to buffet us with troubling experiences, we know we can withstand the blows when we are centered in the Holy One; we can emerge through the hard earth of life and blossom into those who show love, patience, and courage.

At the Transfiguration Spirituality Center, our goal is to provide a place where those who are encumbered can find a place to refresh and renew their souls. Perennials lie hidden in the ground much of the year, gaining strength for the next season. We hope that those who need a place to renew their strength find TSC a place where a commitment to hospitality frees the soul to be fed and watered.
