About Us

Thresholds of Transformation logo

During the recent pandemic, it happened that three gifted, creative women from different parts of the world found themselves working together with an international congregation.

This collaboration challenged each of them, personally and professionally, bringing them to an intrinsic threshold moment amidst a world in crisis.

Crossing this transforming threshold united these women in a dream and passion to contribute in some way to the evolving new world order.

Their dream and passion gave birth to Thresholds of Transformation!

The Grace of Transformation

Theme Song for Thresholds of Transformation

You may wish to take some quiet time to ponder some of the wisdom and insights that inspire Thresholds of Transformation and to listen to our theme song.

Please scroll through these quotes and images to see the visual representation of our Inspiration for Thresholds of Transformation.

Slide 1

“Deep in our DNA we belong to the stars, the trees, and the galaxies. Deep within we long for unity because, at the most fundamental level, we are already one. We belong to one another because
we have the same source of love, the love that flows through the trees is the same love
that flows through my being…
We are deeply connected in this flow of love.”
Illia Delio

Slide 2

“If we want to change the world,
then first our hearts must change.”
Pope Francis

Slide 3

“The cosmological powers of this Universe are coursing through us moment by moment. To become aware of these powers is to touch the source of life.”
Brian Swimme

Slide 4

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.”
Herman Hesse

Slide 5

“You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart.
You must know what you are feeling.
If you don’t know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously.”
Gary Zukav

Slide 6

“ If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”
Brené Brown

Slide 7

“We have the capacity to make choices that will evolve us, both personally and as a species. We have the capacity to engage in the management of the whale-sized issues that confront us, most of our own making. We have the capacity to cooperate with the unfolding of the universe, a process driven by grace, which invites us to be co-creators.”
Judy Cannato

Slide 8

“In the tapestry of life, we are all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us, helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.”
Sandra Day O'Connor

Slide 9

“Self -transcendence is a capacity that the universe and its creatures have within themselves to become. It belongs to the creature, but it is not due to the creature. It springs from the imminent creative presence of God, enabling the creature not only to exist, but to become what is new.”
Denis Edwards

Slide 10

“To be in the world non-violently means learning to hold the tension of opposites, trusting that the tension itself will pull our hearts and minds open to a third way of thinking and acting…We must learn to hold the tension between the reality of the moment and the possibility that something better might emerge.”
Parker Palmer

Slide 11

“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.”
Teilhard de Chardin

Slide 12

“We are in the process of losing the beauty and wonder of a gracious world designed in some manner as the place where the meeting of the divine and the human can be achieved in its full expression, a place suitable for the divine indwelling. Will we have the energy and the will to restore this world?”
Thomas Berry

Slide 13

“No longer do we look up into the heavens to find God out there somewhere. The loving divine heart that we long for is pulsing in tune and time with our own heart. Everything, every person, every moment is a possible revelation of God’s beauty. For this to happen we must be our truest selves.”
Daniel O’Leary
