A Space for Dreaming & Discernment
Navigate complexity with clarity: Structured space for foundations and nonprofit leaders to envision and align
Our Approach: Dreaming as a Strategic Response to Uncertainty
Creating transformative change requires both foresight to envision and wisdom to determine direction. Our facilitated process positions dreaming as an intentional practice—a focused state that moves beyond conventional thinking to access your team's collective intelligence. Through guided exploration, we channel your organization's shared insights into clear pathways that align with your core values and mission.
Whether you're a foundation navigating funding priorities or a nonprofit reimagining program delivery in response to changing resources, this protected environment allows possibilities to expand and new perspectives to emerge. The result exceeds traditional planning outputs, offering a cohesive vision that propels your organization toward meaningful impact during uncertain times.
Our Guided Process
1. Pause
We establish a dedicated environment where your team steps away from immediate pressures. This deliberate break creates the conditions for genuine reflection and authentic connection.
2. Dream
Using evidence-based somatic practices and structured creative exercises, we activate your collective wisdom, helping your team identify possibilities that exist beyond perceived limitations.
3. Discern
We guide a systematic process to recognize patterns and priorities within your collective insights, developing actionable next steps and coherent long-term strategic direction.
Why Dreaming?
“New ideas [and possibilities] come out of reflection upon past experiences. They do not come from out of the sky. Nor do they come from just reacting to what someone or the system does to you. The process of reflection is as important as the experiences themselves because in the reflection lies the possibility of something new and original.”
- James & Grace Lee Boggs
