You will (re)discover the magnificently made human being you were born to be. We're diving deep into our hidden blocks, facing our fears, exploring our gifts, claiming our hopes, and lifting each other up all the while...

Join us for a full day of awesomeness with interactive sessions that will inspire and insist you to seize opportunity and rise.

Attend sessions and interact with other women and the experts. The S.O.A.R Symposium is for every woman ~ whether you are an entrepreneur, an employee, a student, or a mom, you (and everyone you interact with) will benefit from being at the Symposium. With powerful sessions, interactive experiences, and the opportunity to meet one-on-one with other women, we are super excited. There is so much to learn, always...

Venue

The Location

The Post Chapel provides the love-filled vibe and feel for us to talk about what it truly means to love ourselves and others, how to love while setting healthy boundaries, practicing self care in all aspects (even financially!), loving one another, and just relishing the beauty of this powerful space!! During breaks, we will have interactive station sponsors!! We will have room to have fun, gather, and celebrate this awesome day together - we are blessed to invite you to such a unique venue.

This waterfront spot has high ceilings, wood plank floors, an intimate upstairs loft, and overlooks the Sandy Hook Bay. It is a unique location for private and public events with a vibe that goes perfectly with the theme for this symposium - AGAPE LOVE, loving unconditionally and using the gifts and treasures we have within ourselves to raise the vibration and spread a ripple of love far and wide. ✨

We can hardly wait to spend this magical day with you!!!

Should I ask my employer to send me to S.O.A.R?

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!! Today's the last day for Early Bird Pricing, but we have some group rates as well!
