Are you hungering for direction? Wanting to figure out how to use your gifts in a new phase of life? Seeking something new from God? Are you looking for a group of thoughtful, experienced, powerful people with whom to share your story and gain wisdom? This is it!

You’ll pray with our robust, progressive, inspiring weekly prompts grounded in both Ignatian spirituality and the world we live in. You’ll write reflections and share them with your small group of wise, experienced folks from around the globe. Every week, you meet with your small group over zoom to share insights and gain support.

What will happen when you Discern, Dream, and Scheme? Let’s find out!

“I felt like the dry bones in Ezekiel, being brought back to life and being given the breath of the Spirit. It’s something I can share with others.”

Campus minister, Catholic elementary school:

“This workshop came at a transitional time for me, so it was helpful for me to think about my story and reclaim the parts that have been hibernating. I feel more confident in my experiences and my voice as I move forward.”

“Discern, Dream, Scheme provided me with a structured sacred space to reignite the smoldering embers of my once flaming passion to work for church reform. It reminded me that I am worthy of the call I have received.”

-Cyber security expert, parish minister

“I was heard, affirmed, and lovingly challenged. The Spirit was aflame. Our discernment led to courageous dreams and the best of scheming! I have confidence our Church will no longer be able to dismiss the ministry of women. This workshop is a model for how the Church engages the question of women’s leadership.”
