For quite a while, I've been contemplating creating a different kind of community.

Not another Facebook group. Not another coaching program. Not another online course.

Times have changed, and so have our interests, our bandwidth, and what we truly long for.

Here's what finally landed for Reverie + Velvet women.

A place where accomplished women gather twice each month for thoughtful conversation, meaningful mentoring, and practical guidance as they shape the next chapter of their lives.

A place where ambition and peace belong together. Where business conversations naturally blend with life conversations.

Where wisdom is shared. Questions are welcomed. Breakthroughs are celebrated. Friendships are formed.

A place that feels like the living room of my business.

Imagine settling into your favorite chair, sofa or pillow with a cup of tea, coffee, or Matcha. Thoughtful conversation. Genuine connection. Practical wisdom. Women cheering one another on while shaping the next chapter of their lives. That's the feeling I'm creating.

We'll simply gather from the comfort of our own homes.

Today, I'm opening the doors.

I'm inviting the first 10 Founding Members into...

The Elegant Way Forward Salon

This is the first community of its kind I've created in over 18 years of mentoring women founders, creatives, artists, and visionaries.

Over the years, women locally, nationally and globally have asked me,

"Marla...how can I start learning or continue learning from you without private mentoring?"

This Salon is my answer.

No mountain of curriculum. I believe lasting transformation happens through thoughtful conversation over time.

As Founding Members, we'll build this Salon together.

Each month we'll gather for two live Mentoring Salons, where I'll teach, mentor, answer your questions, and guide you through one meaningful theme.

Between our virtual gatherings, we'll continue the conversation inside our private Skool community, where you'll have access to my handouts, worksheets, resources, implementation guides, and conversations with remarkable women walking beside you.

No pressure. No racing through modules. Just one beautiful conversation at a time.

Some of the themes we'll explore...

• Protecting Your Peace Without Sacrificing Your Ambition

• The Elegant Way Forward With Money Success

• The Refined Identity

• Your Next Chapter

• Receiving

• Visioning

Along the way, you'll naturally learn my signature Elegant Way Forward Methodology that includes:

• Creative Achievement Formula™

• Quantum Leap thinking and success

• Intuitive leadership

• Embodiment and identity work

• Money relationship transformation

• Creating prosperity from wholeness

• Discovering your Zone of Genius as your leverage strategy

• Business culture and leadership

• Authentic marketing that attracts your ideal clients and customers

Your Membership Includes

• Two live Mentoring Salons each month (90 minutes–2 hours)

• Our private Skool community

• A monthly implementation worksheet

• My evolving resource library of worksheets, handouts, and frameworks

Investment options:

$197 per month (Recurring)

$525 3-month special rate ($66 savings)

Your choices are a recurring monthly membership you may cancel after three months, keep your membership going, or try it for three-months at the special savings rate.

Either way, I simply ask for a three-month commitment so you have enough time to experience the methodology, build relationships within the Salon, and give yourself the opportunity for the beginning of meaningful change.

In my experience, six months is often where transformation becomes deeply rooted—but three months is a beautiful place to begin.

Stay as long as the Salon continues supporting your next chapter.

• Our Mentoring Salons gather twice each month on Wednesdays from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Pacific / 4:00–6:00 p.m. Eastern.

• Our Founding Member gatherings begin Wednesday, August 5 and Wednesday, August 19. Your Welcome Guide will include 2026 gathering calendar, along with everything you need to join us. Salon recordings will be housed in our Skool community.

Because these are our Founding Members, I'm personally offering this first invitation to 10 women.

If someone immediately comes to mind, please invite your besties, colleagues, associates, or team members who would flourish in this community.

I'd love your voice helping shape this beautiful Salon from the very beginning.

I'm looking forward to welcoming you into my virtual living room.

With love,

Marla

Founder, The Elegant Way Forward Salon

P.S. A Note About Simplicity. You'll notice I didn’t send you to a lengthy sales page. That was intentional.

If this invitation speaks to you, simply reserve your Founding Membership using the links above. After joining, my team will send you our thoughtfully designed Salon Welcome Guide with everything you need to know before we gather for our first Mentoring Salon.
