How we do what we do speaks volumes. We pour our energy into creating environments that reflect our commitment to the healing and growth of people, and sharing power, in both theory and practice.
You’ll see it in our actions and our words. You’ll see it in how we lead, how we learn, and how we cultivate spaces, especially for those who have historically been harmed, silenced, or excluded.
Connect with us to gain access to our full suite of educational resources, or if you just want to be a part of the healing and growth.

Asset-Based Community Learning is a pedological approach that threads asset-based community development and what Paolo Freire calls "action-reflection".

We partner with a number of educational consultants to accomplish our mission. Review our service catalog for current offerings. We also design online resources, like "Heal & Grow" - a creative field guide that is culturally-relevant and rooted in nature appreciation, local history (Portland Metro area, Oregon) and social-emotional learning.
Transformative Living Community, International (TLC, Int'l) is a body of engaged citizens rooted in faith. We serve to support healing & wellness by facilitating growth and development of people, their strengths, and their relationships with each other and the natural world. We offer affordable opportunities to enhance wellness through education, creative expression and nature appreciation.
Transformative Living Community, International welcomes citizens of the world who are committed to living creative, healthy, and sustainable lives. TLC, Int'l will manage its facilities as stewards with respect for the natural and cultural environment in which it operates. We will be equitable and inclusive in offering space conducive for revitalization of the human capacity to heal from trauma, thrive through struggle, and create transformative solutions for every day challenges. Active TLC citizens will be equipped and inspired to better live and serve as conscientious leaders in their respective communities.
