We are a thriving community of Courageous Inquirers who consciously explore real issues in real time, so we can untether our hearts, ignite our passion, and fuel our vibrancy in the world!
I am a sassy, outrageous coach, kinesiologist and hot air balloon pilot with a contagious zest for life, and an intense desire to uplift the human spirit.
In 2011, I found my normally outgoing and energetic self in a slump after a chapter of great loss in my life. I was in need of a place to talk about the Hard Stuff: the feelings I had buried, fears I hadn’t admitted to anyone, and my lack of direction.
I wanted a community where I could restore my emotional buoyancy and enrich my relationships.
After months of reflection I realized I was not alone, so I created Soaring Spirit Institute. We gather small communities of people who are willing to explore what tethers them, so we can more joyfully navigate the ups and downs of our lives. Uplifting our spirits we live more consciously, following our true nature: our way and our terms!
In that true spirit, I fulfilled my lifelong dream to fly, and earned my pilot certificate in my late 50s. Combining my love of coaching and flying I create experiences that allow us to conquer our fears, open capacity and bring people together in ways that are unusually fun and liberating.
Are You Ready to FLY?
100′ in the air definitely offers new perspective, expanding our visual range, and delighting us with a new point of view. At Soaring Spirit Institute, we create experiences in community that foster exploration of who you are and what’s important to you!
The truth is, you can’t truly fly when you’re tethered to old fears, outdated stories and someone else’s expectations. It may feel safe to stick to what you know, but in the end, until you cut the tethers, you are still attached and operating on someone else’s agenda.
In our groups, we share the stuff that weighs us down. We talk about real life stuff in real time, and allow those feelings to run through us!
Our mission is to illuminate your truth so brilliantly that others will be drawn to your magnificence and it will be impossible to stop you from soaring!
So, oh brilliant one, are you ready to soar, to explore the real you in a community that ignites your passion and fuels your dreams?
I invite you on a journey with me, to awaken the spirit within you! Together we will encourage each other to shine in the world, illuminating, empowering, and consciously living in our truth!
It’s Your Time to Fly!
COMMUNITY CIRCLES
Adding REAL Substance to our Relationships
After so much time away from our in-person gatherings we felt it was time to re-ignite our Community Circle Groups. We meet on the third Thursday of every month to explore one topic that spontaneously emerges from our group. Though many people return month to month, each gathering is stand alone in its content and creation.
Our guiding principle is “checking in” to explore something that evokes our curiosity and deepens the knowing of ourselves and each other. We hope you will come with an open heart and leave with some new awareness, and maybe even a new friend.
Are you ready to experience a time of connection with like-hearted people, exploring energy that opens your heart and enlivens your spirit?
MENTORING MASTERS
May I Have Your Attention Please?
As leaders and mentors we often feel comfortable in our support of others. And sometimes we get so caught up in giving that we neglect ourselves. This weekly group “mentor the mentors”, keeps us in alignment, digging deeply and investigating what we need to also be heard and understood. I invite you to take a minute. How much time do you spend practicing and noticing your response to the world around you? And do you share and develop your gift in a group that supports you?
We invite you into our community . . . to practice exploring your heart, giving yourself the attention you need, so that you can share your gift of mentorship in the world. We’ve all heard the expression what you give attention to grows.
Are you giving yourself the attention you need to be in the best service to yourself, your family and others?
TEAM SPIRIT EXPERiENCE
With Calypso, our Hot Air Balloon
What better way to test your assumptions than getting your feet off the ground and changing your relationship with your surroundings?
Calypso, our 90,000 cubic foot hot air balloon, is the perfect partner for that experience. Thinking outside the box, doing much more than balloon rides, we transform adventures into experiences as we lift up families, build staff rapport and strengthen community, bringing the joy of flight to many people in our fabulous balloon.
