Buy Your Ticket NowWe created S.O.A.R with a simple intention - to connect, share, learn, and grow TOGETHER.
Know about these extraordinary humans. They are honest, relatable, wise, and oh-so-inspiring human beings who rock.
To truly heal and set herself free she needed an entirely new perspective on life. Once Lucie was able to look at life with a positive outlook, and a little humor, she was able to call on her inner strength, kick some ass, and get better.
Lucie is an author, blogger, healer and speaker. She graduated from Monmouth University and worked in leadership and training for over seventeen years. Now, she works tirelessly to help people with anxiety and also to remove the stigma of mental illness. Through her books, writing, workshops, speaking engagements, and podcasts, her focus is clear, and her heart is full with the message no one needs to live with anxiety forever.
We are honored to have Lucie connect with you during her session, “5 Little Mindful Miracles.” Stay in touch with Lucie at luciedickenson.com.
Tom Kersting is a regular contributor for Fox News, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. He appears frequently on the most popular talk shows and news shows offering insight and advice about life in the digital age. Tom has hosted television shows for A&E, National Geographic Channel, Food Network, and Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
Tom is also a former semi-professional baseball player, an avid golfer. He is dedicated to fitness, faith, and family. We are honored to have Tom connect with you for his session, “Live Legendary from the Inside-Out.” Stay in touch with Tom at tomkersting.com.
A dedicated woman of the church, Frankie is also a weekly communion steward, who many community members immediately recognize as soon as they see her radiant presence and giant smile.
Known for her big heart, selfless generosity, and helping those in need, Frankie works tirelessly to give back and spread love.
We are honored to have Frankie connect with you during her session, “Finding Meaning in a Mission.” Stay in touch with Frankie at Mother of Mercy Parish in Asbury Park.
With over 30 years' experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, and as a graduate of Fordham University, Stacey continued her educational journey by pursuing a PhD in Psychology. Stacey’s practice consists of individuals of all ages, couples, families, alternative lifestyle couples/individuals, and specializes in helping couples rekindle the love and connection they once had.
Dr. Rose is still as enthusiastic about inspiring her clients to live their best lives including creating and sustaining fulfilling relationships, as she was when she began working in the field.
We are honored to have Stacey connect with you during her session, “Imagine If.” Stay in touch with her at staceyrose.com.
In early 2009 something magical was happening in Asbury Park. The time was right, and Hot Mess Studio opened in the heart of downtown AP. Tara has assembled an incredible tribe of artists. Proof that hard work really does pay off, Tara was most recently dubbed a ``Local Legend`` by Industry Magazine.
Her love story with her husband Mike, and daughters Sofia and KoKo, are the glue that holds it all together.
We are honored to have Tara connect with you during her session, “Intuition vs. The Inner Critic.” Stay in touch with her at hotmessstudio.com.
We are super excited and can't wait to see you there.

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!
