complimentary conversation<\/a> if you’d like to talk about what feels best for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow much time is required to participate in Solace?\n\t\t\t\t\tThere will be 1.5 to 2 hours of Wisdom Teaching material each month, as well as our two monthly group coaching circles of 60 minutes each.<\/p>\n
I will offer exercises and practices with the monthly lessons. You can spend as much or as little time on these as you like. You might plan for about one hour per week in total, spread throughout the week. You can also plan to spend a bit of time checking in to the Solace community area to share, encourage, ask questions, etc.<\/p>\n
That adds up to about 8 hours per month or so. We will also have 2 hour planning sessions each quarter…like a mini-online retreat to keep you on track.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You’ll benefit significantly if you only stay connected with the material by reading\/listening to the lessons, even without doing all the exercises and\/or practices. It is your journey, and you can make it what you wish, though you’ll get the most out of it if you’re devoted to the process, creating regular Solace time for yourself, and sharing in the group.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat if I want to join in the middle of the year?\n\t\t\t\t\t
At the moment, Solace is only open for registration once per year so that everyone starting can join at the beginning of a yearly cycle.<\/p>\n
This allows for beautiful bonding of members at the beginning of each cycle, and the opportunity to honor the rhythm of the year for first time enrollees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At some point, we may open enrollment throughout the year, as the material is applicable at any time. However, if you’re going through it for the first time, it’s quite helpful to start in January with the beginning of the cycle.<\/p>\n
Registration typically opens on the Winter Solstice, and remains open through mid to late January. Each new cycle begins the third Thursday in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you’ve been in Solace before, and wish to join again mid year, please reach out to Kim Marie at Support@KimMarieCoaching.com with your interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat if I miss a group coaching call?\n\t\t\t\t\t
While you’ll miss out on the live experience of participation, if you have to miss a gathering, I’ve got you covered. You’ll receive a recording of the teachings, along with copies of any materials shared.<\/p>\n
If you know you can’t make a circle ahead of time, you’re welcome to let me know any questions you might want answered, and I’ll make sure the answers or conversation about your input is in the recording for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is your refund policy?\n\t\t\t\t\t
You are committing to a 12 month program, and I ask that you sincerely commit to the work involved in taking this journey to Solace and give it a fair chance to show it’s benefits.<\/p>\n
However, if there are extenuating circumstances, I will work with you to understand and do what works best for you.<\/p>\n
Please know that extenuating circumstances are rare, and you should only sign up for this program if you are truly committed to making significant shifts in your life and embodying your True Self.<\/p>\n
If you do the work in the program, ask for support along the way, and show up fully, I’m completely confident you will feel fulfilled and nourished, and find yourself embodying your True Self more every day.<\/p>\n
As a group, we rely on each other for support, connection and encouragement, and no refunds or partial refunds will be offered for leaving the program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan I stay in Solace more than one year?\n\t\t\t\t\t
Because Solace is a spiraling, living journey, there are significant benefits to continuing the journey beyond one cycle of a year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Each time one experiences the Solace journey, they are different individuals. Each Solace lesson is “living” in that it grows and changes as you grown and change. In repeating the journey, you deepen into the Soul connection, seeing and understanding things you didn’t see or understand the first time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of my work is designed to allow you to deepen more and more as you go through the work again. There’s also the benefit of continuing to build and connect in community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some women have been in the program for many years, and still find it to be transformative. I’ve intentionally made this program affordable so it can become part of your regular self-care and self-expansion.<\/p>\n
Too many programs don’t provide a sustainable container for you to do and stay connected to the deep inner work of your Soul’s transformation. Solace is different in that it offers this to you ongoingly.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat if I have other questions I need answered?\n\t\t\t\t\t
If you have questions about joining the program, you can contact Kim Marie at Support@KimMarieCoaching.com.<\/p>\n
During the program, you’ll have access to a private group, the Solace Circle, that’s only for participants of the Solace program. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with other courageous people stepping into their power and wisdom.<\/p>\n
The Solace Circle is a great place to share progress and successes, ask questions, and engage in contemplation around each week’s topics. It’s super motivating and nurturing to have people connecting between Wisdom Teachings and Group Coaching Calls to help you stay on the path, and Kim Marie will be there regularly to support you!<\/p>\n

“I came to Kim’s program to deepen my self-exploration and be in connection with a group of others also committed to living life in the fullness of who we see ourselves as. I saw many old patterns that had been alluding me. I faced my old stories head-on, no matter how painful they may have been. I was held by Kim in being gentle with myself and my process.The deep work in the program created such a profound shift in me. The ample time spent with each step was key in helping to truly embody the changes I was seeking. I’m able to notice much more quickly when I’m slipping back into an old pattern. I’m able to be TRULY vulnerable. The program is deeply transformative, opening us in many areas of our lives, and helping us to let go of old patterns. Kim creates a space where we’re able to fully reveal ourselves.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

“I came to Kim’s program seeking ways to deal with chronic stress, anxiety and, having just quit my job of 11 years, wanting to understand what my next steps were. I felt like I was spreading my energy being ‘busy’ but not feeling like I was making much progress. Being with and sharing with others reminded me I was not alone, and I felt supported and encouraged. Kim created a safe and nurturing place for us, helping us dig in a little further to understand our blocks and challenges, and turn them into affirmations, goals, and vision. The powerful exercises put me back in touch with my greater self. The program has helped me strive to be more conscious and connected every day, which is a struggle for me as I tend to want to retract or numb myself as a defense.The group sharing and discussion woke up many dormant thoughts and feelings affecting my current challenges. I’m grateful for the support and nurturing I felt from the group and especially from Kim, both in the group and one-to-one. I feel renewed hope as I am now feeling ‘unstuck’. I’m taking one step at a time, looking back to where I came from, understanding where I am now, and utilizing this information to create my intentions for moving forward…all of this while connected to my heart and not just my head.With continued practice of rituals, routines, writing, and diving into my fears, I can start shifting towards manifesting what I truly desire out of life. While I keep practicing being connected and conscious, I feel I’ll be able to listen more and more to my heart. If you feel stuck, seek support to get to the next step or phase of your life, or are looking for self-growth in a supportive, encouraging and thought-provoking environment, this is for you.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

“I was drawn to Kim’s program because I wanted to break the patterns that’ve resulted in me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I wanted support in learning how to stand in my own strength and put aside my self-doubts. I needed help learning how to build trust in myself and open up to the possibilities of my future. I learned many tools for nourishing myself, for accepting and integrating all of my feelings and aspects of myself, and for connecting with my core values. With the group setting, I discovered that by sharing my experiences and insights I could be of help to others, and by listening to others I could learn from their wisdom too.Through the exercises we were given, I now feel really connected to my higher self, and can renew my waning energy when I need to. I have tools to integrate and work through the feelings that can sometimes block my way, and that gives me a greater feeling of hope and freedom. With these tools, I feel empowered to meet what happens, and to confront some of my negative patterns of avoidance and self sabotage. I’m learning to listen to and work with myself in ways that honor my own truth and meet my needs. This will increasingly help me to set priorities, hold boundaries, and be more present. I now feel it’s possible to confront things I’ve been avoiding for a long time, and to look honestly at the fears and feelings underlying that avoidance.Being part of a circle of those who are really committed to grow, to look at themselves honestly, and to listen deeply to others is an amazing gift. Kim creates a warm, nurturing, safe place where it’s easy to open one’s heart. She’s knowledgeable, intuitive and very effective at walking others through the practices that she’s found most helpful in her own growth. I appreciate Kim’s beautiful combination of supportive compassion with honesty and clarity. She’s helped me be more compassionate with myself, and hold to commitments when that’s needed.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

“I was feeling unfulfilled and like I didn’t know how to reach goals, feel satisfied with my life, or find greater meaning for my life. I wanted to figure out how to live my life more fully, was having a hard time getting back to feeling like myself after having 2 kids and recovering from adrenal fatigue, had difficulty finding motivation, and wanted to feel closer, more connected to, and more openly loving in my relationships. In the program, I learned that through trust and allowing myself to be more vulnerable, I can make deeper connections with those I love. I have a greater awareness of my inner workings, where those stories came from, and how to switch those stories around. I have the tools to help nourish myself and find courage to break past the old stories.I’ve developed awareness of what’s going on internally, identifying when I’m starting to get stuck in a negative-thought cycle and get out of it. I can experience feelings of disappointment, hurt, and frustration but not be weighed down or taken over by them. I understand better the importance of nurturing myself. It’s important for me to be the adult that I needed as a child, which would allow me to be the parent I’d like to be for my children. I’m more aware of my layers, and I can imagine the support that Kim would give me as I try to not turn away from them.I’ve searched for a long time for ways to feel more at peace with myself, and to become more of the person I’d like to be. I’ve read books, and joined both online and in-person groups looking for help in this transformation. I’d reach a point where a whole mess of feelings were starting to well up and show themselves, and I didn’t know how to field these questions, doubts and feelings. Then I’d just move on because I didn’t receive the guidance, and I’d turn away from the tough and confusing things that came up. In Kim’s program, I didn’t magically find all of the answers I needed to reach the zenith of my personal self, but I finally had someone show me that these kinds of answers don’t just suddenly appear. It requires dedication, trust, and openness.It feels possible for me to keep peeling back the layers. Kim’s program helps each participant more clearly see what needs to be healed, what needs to be nurtured in order to thrive, and how we can nourish ourselves and step more fully into ourselves in order to find that place of peace and happiness we all hope for. We were given prompts to dig deep, guidance and ceremonies to let go of what’s no longer serving us, and a lot of tools to help gently but confidently work towards being the person we want to be. The teaching and guidance is so deep, enlightening, gentle, truthful, on point, wise, and humble. I believe it is rare to receive this type of guidance.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
