Tania Stapp - Founder of SOAR Summits Worldwide
SOAR Summits Worldwide provide a platform for people to find their wings and SOAR HIGH in self, life and business
SOAR Summits are born from the unshakable belief that it is a basic human right that all human beings and animals should be able to SOAR HIGH in life and ‘be free to be me’ in safe and supportive environments. Unfortunately, there are so many women, men, children and animals who do not have this basic right or who are SOARING and then something happens and it brings them back down again.
I have seen first-hand how many people and animals are not free to do this, so for 30 years, spanning various countries and continents, I have been committed to finding solutions to empower women, men, children and animals to do just that; discover their power within, believing they too have the right to SOAR HIGH and step into their own light to shine on others and be unstoppable. This has required creating new creative solutions, new initiatives, new innovations, new mindsets, new environments, and taking new actions, which often challenge societal, generational, religious, political, belief and ‘herd-like’ norms, which often isn’t a popular path because of this, but I believe any path that helps others be ‘free to be themselves’ and follow their own dreams is just humanity. Shouldn’t individual freedom be a choice that each person and even animals owns for themselves?
SOAR Summits are not just built on this belief, but also built on the imagery, and journey of an eagle, SOARING high, reaching the great heights where it is the most powerful, SOARING on the wind, free to be its highest potential and power. But as it SOARs higher, there are other influences trying to stop it, trying to pull it back down. One of these is the crow, pecking at it as it flies higher. If the eagle stops to fight off the crows and the other influences trying to stop it SOARING, it will fall to the ground. If it continues to SOAR on its own path to what makes it happy, the crow and others won’t be able to fly that high and fall away. I love this analogy and relate it to our own journeys to SOAR, with so many outside influences, societal norms, or others trying to stop us. At SOAR Summits, individuals find their own wings to SOAR and strategies to counteract the outside influences through a variety of topics, conversations, realisations, adventures, and a blend of learning environments for all as the magic happens in different places for different people.
SOAR Summits empower , strategise and provide opportunity platforms and safe spaces for people to SOAR and unlock their power within to be unstoppable. There are 8 different areas of our SOAR Scale that are all entwined and impact each other. Understanding this and identifying each person’s is a key concept in determining personalised next steps toward SOARING.
During a SOAR Summit, we celebrate each person’s individual selves, exploring their unique ‘Suitcases for Success’ (which is everything they have gathered, learned, and become over a lifetime), revealing their unique gifts, traits, and identity and showing them that all the speedbumps along the way are badges earned of courage, resilience, determination, belief, strength, power and so much more that are remarkable treasures to utilise in all areas of their lives. Their stories are lifelines for others and vice versa. It is like the Japanese Kintsugi, celebrating adversities and speedbumps as gold.
We also tackle the ‘tough stuff’; the shields, fears, adversities, trauma, losses, learnings and hold everyone in a safe and supportive space to do so together. I believe space is a superpower and providing that for others to just be is really important. Everything is chosen for a purpose at SOAR Summits, and this is why the days are organised as they are, with both time to be together and time to have purposeful space. This is also why each person has their own villa or apartment or purposeful space, but still can come together. Everything we do and everywhere we go during the 5 days creates a multitude of different spaces for attendees to choose what they need in stunning locations around the world.
People are amazing! Each person has their own unique gifts and the greatest gift I, the SOAR Summit Team, Hosts, Guest Speakers and Attendees themselves get at SOAR Summits is seeing each person transform in 5 days. The BIG real-life impact and ripple effect during a Summit and beyond still gives me goose-bumps! The power is unstoppable. The rewards are BIG. The lives changed are simply BEAUTIFUL and this is what we aim to do - give people themselves back, this is the greatest gift of them all.
There is one golden thread in common with the people who attend – each person is ready to step into (or back into) their power, their new self, their new life and they have the drive, courage and resilience to do it no matter what. They have an intrinsic strength, are avid learners and are action takers. They know there is more out there for them and that they are capable of more and they are ready to take it. It amazes me that 'the right people' end up at each Summit - it's just synchronicity at it's finest.
SOAR Summits have such a domino effect; they are the gift that keep on giving. Not only do the attendees, hosts and team get so much from them, as well as the ripple effect for the attendee's family, friends and colleagues, but we recognise where there is an immediate person (s) or animal in need and each SOAR Summit takes action and goes where the need is at that moment in time; using the financial resources directly to help re-home people or animals in need or to give safety whether that is physical, environmental, mental and emotional well-being, but to ensure that we save lives, improve lives and take people and animals away from harm.
At each SOAR Summit, we share how we have helped and had immediate impact on the lives of women, children, men and animals. We stand by our commitment to improve lives one person or animal at a time. A portion of each ticket sale goes directly to others in need.
However, the SOAR Summit Worldwide itself, also provides. We do not just provide financial resources but also use our 'Suitcases for Success' to assist others with what they may need for themselves, their lives or a new revenue stream or platform to share their products/business, 'rebuild' or 'get back on their feet'. Some need access to a new community of people and a safe harbour to talk.
Once again wherever we see a need, we provide a platform, skills and resources, as well as love, kindness, respect and a safe space for people to be real and be able to ask for help without fear of retribution, shame or embarrassment. We have offered people the opportunity to apply for a SOAR Summit Sponsorship related to their needs and are thrilled we have been able to assist people to gain this.
To date, from just 3 SOAR Summits in 2 different countries, we have sponsored, given a platform to rise, leadership, business, life, self, and re-homed women, children and animals (this last one having a ripple effect to give space to re-home more animals) who were fleeing dangerous situations and directly impacted more than 50 people and animals. The ripple effect from each of those being impacted, will go into the hundreds and thousands.
We are the SOAR Summit Worldwide Team who help others SOAR (whatever that looks like for each person).
Everyone has the right to SOAR HIGH! Get your SOAR Summit Wings!
