Grace Hospice
IDI® Learning Space
Welcome to Grace’s June IDI® newsletter (within a newsletter)!
Each month we play around with IDI learning— noticing how our personal background + identities shape how we make sense of the world, while getting curious about how other people see the world from the background + identities they’re coming from. (It’s a BothAnd!)
Who are you, today?
Kiddos are almost done with school…the joy & anxiety of transition— and the freedom of summer!— is buzzing in the air (at least in my house!).
Remember a time when you went through a major milestone? Maybe you currently are! A time in our life when something ended, something began, and we had to rediscover who we are becoming.
As adults this is deeply layered, we’ve around a while! We carry many past versions of ourselves with us, and those past selves still shape how we lead, care, communicate, protect, react, and belong today.
Hats off to you— to who you’ve been, who you are, and who you are still becoming!
June’s IDI activity: Thinking about Grace’s organizational growth this year, how has your current identity been questioned, stretched, or changed?
Where have you noticed yourself wondering:
Who am I in this season of Grace? What am I being invited to learn, release, or grow into?
I made a ‘lil bouquet to give you, in celebration of your becoming! Cheers to you!
June’s IDI® Virtual Learning Space
Anywhere we are part of a group — our family, a friend circle, neighbors, work peers, etc. — we usually have “a way.” The “Grace Way,” in its best moments, is used as a term of endearment. In the rough, stormy times, it can be used to describe the problem. Good news… this is normal! It’s a reality of being part of a community.
With BothAnd support, Grace is looking more closely at the “Grace Way”— by getting clear on what makes this place feel great, and what needs attention in order to grow healthier ways to work together. It ain’t easy work, but it builds the type of work culture that feels more aligned and enjoyable for all.
Join us next Thursday as we start looking at important “Grace Way” layers… starting with communication styles!
Thursday, June 11th | 12:00-1:00pm

June’s In-Person Workshop!
As summer begins and Grace continues to grow, it’s a good time to pause and ask: How do we work together—and why do we do it that way?
Our June in-person workshop invites us to look beneath everyday team habits, expectations, and “just professional” norms to notice how culture shapes collaboration, decision-making, conflict, and pace.
Facilitated by Reubenna Cooley, Joyce Norals, & Jen Mohr— we hope you’ll join us for reflective conversation about strengthening the way we work together with more honesty, curiosity, and care.
The same session is offered twice!
Monday, June 22nd | 1:30-2:30pm
Friday, June 26th | 10:00-11:00 am
