GET UNSTUCK AND GO FARTHER, FASTER

Time Away is the bridge between the life you have and the life of your dreams.

We start with a two day, personalized retreat in nature, followed by six months of strategic coaching to implement.

Define What You Want

Sometimes the change you seek is clear, other times it needs to be excavated. The first step is to claim what you want.

Clients often seek an inner goal (more self-trust, less procrastination, better emotional regulation) and an outer goal (a new career path, a thriving business, a healthier marriage).

Alongside the desires for more, we learn the art of loving where we are and appreciating the preciousness of the journey.

Unhook from Limiting Beliefs

Going for what you really want in life naturally encourages you to evolve.

In phase two, discover what’s holding you back and turn it into a stepping stone to getting what you want. You might struggle with self-criticism, avoid discomfort above all else, get easily distracted or overwhelmed, or like staying in your comfort zone.

We learn to accept these ways of being, then practice tools you can use for life to relieve emotional pain and get unstuck.

Master the Doing and the Being

In the third phase, we focus on how to change course. While we live in a world that prioritizes ‘doing’ and productivity over all else, there’s thankfully another way.

You’ll learn what it means to surrender and act from a place of creating and receiving, as well as how to tune your energy to make it easier and easier to experience what you want in life.

Learn How to Stay Consistent

The #1 secret to living a life you love? Don’t stop until you get there. Learn to stay motivated, get back on the horse when you fall off, break down big goals into weekly plans, and nurture yourself through the setbacks.

You’ll leave your two day retreat with a 90 day action plan that clarifies what to do each week to create the change you seek.

★★★★★

Kit helped me rediscover and reconnect to my deepest passions and ambitions. She utilized a range of modalities to help me uncover and work through my blocks at a mental, emotional and spiritual level.

The balance of intensive 1:1 work coupled with time for personal reflection in a beautiful natural environment contributed to being able to do intense deep inner work with a short timeframe.

The experience helped connect me back to the core of my being that had been dormant for far too long. I recommend Kit to anyone going through a transition who has the courage to make a meaningful change in their lives.

When It’s Time for Time Away

Is it time for retreat-style coaching? See if you resonant with any of the challenges below.

Questioning Your Direction

Knowing you’re in the wrong job but lacking clarity and courage to move forward

Navigating Change

A layoff, the end of a relationship, a relocation, a change in life’s roles

Is This All There Is?

Feeling a general sense of dissatisfaction and disillusionment but unmotivated to address it

These challenges are universal, but we tend to move through them quietly, slowly, and in isolation — if we address them at all.

Time Away supports you through the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

You deserve to take two days out of the next 365 to focus on yourself – your dreams, needs and desires.

By investing time upfront, Time Away offers relief and inspiration quickly – you’ll experience two months of coaching in two days, and hit the ground running for your 6 month coaching package.

Welcome Home

Where You’re Staying

Welcome to Asombrosa

Nestled in the hills of Petaluma, California, you’ll stay at Asombrosa, an open-air 63-acre estate, studio, and casita.

Start your mornings with coffee on the deck as wild turkeys pass-by, hike to hilltops to envision what’s next, and end the day by a roaring fire to integrate all of it.

Optionally enjoy nearby hikes, a trip to Jenner Beach, or dinner at the Michelin starred restaurant the farm on the property serves.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Kit Hayes, a strategic expert trained in somatic techniques, emotional intelligence, mindset shifts, and pleasure practices.

After spending nearly 20 years addressing various world problems, I’ve come to believe the best thing we can do for the world is be true to ourselves.

It’s my sense that the system as a whole will work better if we all play our best part.

That idea you have for a business? It’s meant to exist. The balance you’re craving so you have more time with your kids? That’s crucial to sort out.

We can trust our desires, and Time Away can help you realize them.

I’ve personally used ‘Time Away’ to work through some of the biggest challenges life’s tossed me so far – the rock bottoms of both my parents, a miscarriage, the devastating impact of codependency, starting and stopping a nonprofit, navigating a layoff, and overcoming an eating disorder.

In my experience, taking some time to deeply focus on what matters most creates massive relief and gets us farther faster than we ever could have imagined.

★★★★★

Getting to work with Kit 1:1 for her Coaching Intensive came at the perfect time, after spending months building towards a more aligned career, being let go, and jumping into the deep end when I wasn’t sure I was ready.

The retreat gave me the opportunity to re-align and also see how I was standing in my own way, while Kit held space for all of it. It was beautiful to notice how each day built on the last, the experience deepening throughout, both intentionally and organically.

HONORING OUR ECOSYSTEMS

1% for the planet &
1% for the community

Time Away supports taking of ourselves, and each other and our planet. 1% of proceeds benefit local conservation groups (Sonoma County Conservation Action) and 1% goes to communities native to the lands we’re visiting (Sonoma County Indian Health Project).

When the wellness industry focuses only on individual transformation, we can easily forget that humans are part of an ecosystem that’s sometimes thriving, sometimes barely surviving. We stand for taking of ourselves, and the world we live in.
