During breaks, you can listen and dance to both live music and our SOAR DJ Greg will be spinning some soulful sounds too, you can work on a community art piece, get your palm interpreted by a wise palmist, pose for some pictures with our amazing SOAR photographer Jessica Morrisy Parker, visit our interactive station sponsors, and more!! We will have room to have fun, gather, and celebrate this awesome day together!! We are blessed to invite you to such a unique and art-filled venue.
This eclectic spot has exposed brick, beautiful plants, a gorgeous tent, murals, as well as plenty of restored spaces that maintain character and added whimsy such as an elevator shaft and open air courtyard! It is a high vibe location for private and public events that goes perfectly with the theme for this symposium - SOULFUL LIVING, living with passion, zest for life, and a free spirit

La Vie Boheme
“Living the life your soul intended begins with remembering who you are, so that you can better understand what it is you came into this world to do. It means finding and recognizing the talents and abilities that will help you find fulfillment in this lifetime.” ✨

We created S.O.A.R with a simple intention - to connect, share, learn, and grow TOGETHER.

This makes us so happy!! Employers who support growth and development are AWESOME!!
We told her, in general, the Symposium speakers will provide tools and inspiration for achieving your goals, discovering / using all of your gifts / talents, being resilient during challenges, contributing to your workplace / community, and keeping organized inside and out!
The Symposium will also help women learn to be present, so in the workplace all of this translates to being fully present and focused on the task at hand allowing you to seamlessly move from task to task with precision, as opposed to frantically multitasking when more than one project is in motion. It will also help with stress management, overcoming challenges / obstacles, and improve organizational skills.
Tell your employers, ladies!! We have some group rates as well!
