Why grace, now?

We’re under pressure and the pressure is increasing:

in the workplace – where we’re asked to do less with more, and compete with each other for seemingly scarce organizational resources/opportunities

in the world – as we’ve known it, that seems like it’s coming to an end

with family and friends – that may need or demand more support than ever

within ourselves – to know how to respond, especially if we struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, anxiety and lack of self-confidence due to past trauma

We can lose sleep trying to “figure out” the answers or “understand why” things are the way they are. When we lean into grace (acceptance, self-forgiveness, appreciation), we get relief from overthinking, create more space in the moment, and can notice what is emerging for us.

“Have you ever noticed that setting up a deadline for generating a creative solution is not nearly as fruitful as creating some additional spaciousness in the day, time to let the mind be creative?”
Janice Marturano, Institute for Mindful Leadership

The Grace Salon is for you if:

You notice an increased sense of pressure within yourself and around you.
You feel anxious or nervous about the way the world is heading.
You’re concerned about your work and capacity to sustain yourself over time.
It feels like nothing else is helping and you’re tired and/or frustrated.
You have a sense that something else is possible – a different way of showing up and responding – and you’d like to explore that further.

Welcome to the Grace Salon

What is the Grace Salon?

The Grace Salon is a 2-hour exploration of grace in community with each other.

The salons are non-religious, virtual, and small (6 to 8 people). They are curated with people that also find the idea of grace interesting, are committed to learning in life, and have their own wisdom to share, .

Grace Salons are facilitated by Maggie Coulter, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Trauma-Informed Certified Coach (TICC), Applied Mindfulness Meditation Specialist, and experienced facilitator.

What You Can Expect

Facilitated learning and new perspectives around grace:

Facilitated self-reflection and breakout conversations – focused on optimal learning and safety in a group space

Explore your understanding of, and connection (or disconnection) with grace, what is calling you around grace, what keeps it out of reach, what other words you use to describe it

Engage with grace practice in the moment – reflecting on the tenets of grace practice (see A Model for Grace Practice below) as they relate to your work, life and current pressures

Identify intentions for moving out of the Grace Salon with what is emerging for you in the conversation

Drawing on the work of Otto Scharmer (Theory U), Dr. Danny Penman, Janice Marturano, James Baraz, Doug Silsbee, Hougaard, Carter & Coutts, and many others.

“I’ve been inspired by your mantra – nothing is required… A few days ago, I had a new awareness and it led me to a mantra for me: it’s ok to not to know. It is so helpful and profound to say this to myself. My heart relaxes. I guess you know the feeling!

– Julie Lautens

“It was informative to learn about grace as a practice – and that there are so many meanings that even the dictionary couldn’t contain its essence down to one single thing. It was great to be in a space to explore and discuss what grace means to each of us. Each thought leading to another and to some light bulb moments. It’s so valuable to create that spaciousness once in a while, to turn our thoughts to something new to spark some creativity, to fire up the right side of our brains in a new way.”

– Paula Attfield

“I felt safe in the space and observed how you appreciated each person’s views and made us feel welcomed and supported. The whole experience was fluid and left me with a great feeling, and some goodness to think about and lean into. I liked those moments when you were sharing your model and there was some silence and it felt full and bit mysterious. What I found was that, for me, Grace was almost synonymous with Love, my highest guiding value, and now I have a new way to express that to others that might not get confused with other definitions of Love.”

– Guy Reichard

A Model For Grace Practice

Choose Silence

Put down the phone, turn off the TV, and be with silence for the moment – however uncomfortable it may seem.

Nothing Is Required

Don’t try to figure anything out in that moment and let go of having to.

Notice What Emerges

A thought, a feeling. Often rising quietly in the back of the mind, these emergent little nuggets are the voice of wisdom and have much to offer in the moment.
