Reform within the Beautiful
Returning to the One Who Is Beauty Itself
Donation-Based Virtual Summit
December 16 & 17, 2026
Summit will be recorded for replay
What is beauty? Is it personal, a matter of what moves each of us in our own way? Is it subjective, shaped by memory, culture, and the season of life we are in? Or is it objective, something real and given, a radiance that belongs to creation because it first belongs to the Creator? Most of us feel the pull of beauty long before we can explain it. A sunrise, a hymn, a quiet church, a face lit up with love: something in us says yes, and we cannot always say why.
In a world that is often hurried, loud, and weary, we can forget that we were made for beauty and that beauty was made to lead us to God. But what if beauty is not a luxury or an afterthought? What if it is one of the ways God draws us home, and an essential part of becoming whole?
To reform within the beautiful is to let beauty become the place where we are formed, and not only something we admire from a distance. This summit is an invitation to slow down and look again. Together we will ask what beauty really is and why it matters for the whole person: body, mind, and soul.
We will explore how beauty forms us and heals us, and how it can be welcomed back into our prayer, our homes, our work, and our daily rhythms, so that every part of our lives is ordered toward Him who is the source of all that is good, true, and beautiful. Along the way, we will discover that beauty is not only something we behold. Each of us is called to make our own life a work of art, offered back to God.
We invite you to join us for this donation-based virtual summit as we learn to receive the beautiful, and to become, in our own small way, a reflection of it.
“For from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator.”
— Wisdom 13:5

Host: Jackie Mulligan, Foundress of Reform Wellness, President of Reform Alms
-
Eucharistic Adoration was the turning point for everything in Jackie's life — and the birthplace of Reform!
After achieving several degrees, pursuing many avenues of health and fitness, and climbing the corporate ladder, Jackie felt restless, unfulfilled, and burned out. She craved connection, community, and a deeper sense of purpose.
Through God's grace, she shifted from striving in the world to fully focusing on building an authentic relationship with Jesus and caring for the health of her body and soul. Her life was re-ordered and reformed: Christ became the center of everything. From there, she could nourish all aspects of her life with Him as the source and summit.
Inspired by Our Lady's fiat when she said "yes" to her role as the mother of the Savior, Reform started with Jackie's wholehearted "yes" to God. She says "yes" to Christ daily and invites others to join her in that same intentionality. We need Jesus at the center of our lives to be wholly well.
Moving from a posture of self-reliance to one of receptivity and total reliance on Christ has given Jackie the freedom, joy, and health in body and soul she always desired.
Reform was founded and started by Jackie. She now serves as Chief Executive Officer of Reform Wellness and President of its nonprofit sector, Reform Alms. Jackie has paired her personal experience with her professional knowledge to create Reform, a program that innovatively merges faith and functional health. The information and tools she shares grow from her life experience and education: a Master of Theology, Master of Business Administration, Master of Secondary Education, and Bachelor of Arts in Languages, alongside her certifications as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and her background as a former NYS Certified Spanish teacher.

-
Wyatt Carrell is a retired business man who also served in ministry for the past 40 years.
At the peak of his career, as a VP for a software company, and after building their dream home, he heard Jesus speak clearly to him 3 times- Sell your house! This led he and his family on a great adventure over many years learning to depend on the Father’s Provision. He recently lost his beloved wife Nancy after 50 years of marriage. He has three grown children and 9 grandchildren. He resides in Cincinnati Ohio.
Panelist: Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR
-
A Catholic priest and Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, Fr. Innocent Montgomery accompanies his fellow friars in the interior life, community life, and the shared mission of evangelization and service to the poor.
A Reformer himself, Fr. Innocent was one of the very first priests Jackie worked with and was instrumental in shaping the conviction at the heart of Reform: that we are all called to be whole and holy. Through their work together, Jackie witnessed firsthand the truth that God created us to be happy, healthy, and holy. Fr. Innocent has lived this truth personally, walking through burnout, chronic illness, and exhaustion before discovering Reform Wellness as a way of life. (Read his powerful testimonial.)
In addition to his contagious joy and deep love of Christ, Fr. Innocent continually reminds us that reclaiming our identity in Christ is the starting point for healing and the journey toward wholeness and holiness. Fr. Innocent is a leader in our foundational course, Reform Online™, and you may also recognize him from Poco a Poco, one of our favorite podcasts.

Keynote: Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira, Co-Founders of WalletWin
-
In January 2012, then-FOCUS missionaries and newlyweds, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira had $25,000 in debt and a deep desire to break free. A short — and zealous — seven and half months later they wrote their last check to Sallie Mae and closed the doors on debt forever. Since kicking debt to the curb, they’ve focused on saving, investing and giving in a way that set them up for total financial peace for a lifetime.
Upon hearing their story, a few people asked them money questions — and they answered. That snowballed into hundreds of answers, speaking at events, providing financial coaching, and in 2017, founding WalletWin to provide Catholic financial formation for the whole family.
They are authors of How to Attack Debt, Build Savings, and Change the World Through Generosity: A Catholic Guide to Managing Money, hosts of The Catholic Money Show, and creators of The Catholic Money Course, and The Catholic Family Emergency Binder. They have appeared on EWTN, FORMED.org, and are regular guests on Relevant Radio. Their financial formation programs are used by parishes, dioceses, and schools across the country.
Jonathan and Amanda live in Omaha, Nebraska with their five children.
