Celeste Lebak

Celeste’s journey from educator to minister to transformational guide reflects a persistent quest to understand how genuine transformation happens.

Their work is rooted in deep presence, an understanding of time’s fluidity, and the belief that every person carries the wisdom needed for their own transformation. They are a teacher of teachers, a coach of coaches, a minister to ministers, a chaplain to chaplains, a counselor to counselors, and a leader of leaders.

IMAGINATION IS AT THE HEART OF THEIR APPROACH,
SERVING AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN WHAT IS AND WHAT COULD BE.

As the first gay ordained minister at America’s largest UU church, they navigated the intersection of faith, identity, and institutional change, shaping their commitment to spaces where all parts of a person—and all people within a system—can be fully seen.

Founding the Restorative Justice Institute of Oklahoma further deepened their understanding of how personal and collective healing are inseparable.
