Dream & Scheme, LLC
Vocational discernment that combines emotional grounding, embodied practice, self-reflection, and a critical analysis of this messed-up world to equip you with tools to find and fulfill your sense of purpose while still paying your bills.
What is vocational discernment?
However you name the sacred in the world, we believe that sacredness is calling you into what is better. Vocational discernment is the practice of intentionally listening for that call and moving accordingly. Whether you call it God, big love, or something else, the divine in the world gives us all gifts and purposes. Your sense of purpose is bigger than your job it might align with your paid work and it might be something you follow outside of work hours. You can uncover that sense of purpose (and keep uncovering it, as you live your life), if you train yourself to listen — and you don’t have to do it alone.
We believe that we can honor ourselves and the next yes we’re called to. We know that we also must navigate with critical consciousness the web of white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and extractive capitalism that surrounds us while we do things like pay our bills and buy groceries. We believe in community care and interdependence as ways out of what the world wants us to believe is inevitable, and that even as we discern vocation individually we can work for the liberation of all.
What are folks who have worked with Dream & Scheme saying?
“THANK you so much for your careful facilitation; the way all of the tools build upon each other, the way you make it clear that you hear what the participants are saying - and then following up, the way you create a safe spacious space. What a joy to hear [participant] say at the end, ‘I wish everyone would have a chance to do this.’ There's some magic in the sauce you create here.”

“Thank you both so much for crafting these sessions in such a difficult season of our economy/nation. It felt very purposeful to be having some of these harder and creative conversations amidst giving attention to how we fit into the world in our current season of life
