Kind words of love from Ruth Harbin, Founder and Clinical Social Worker, and participating member of Taking Flight 2021…
“Participating in Taking Flight has given me the permission, space and support to be able to ask BIG questions of myself and not run screaming from the answers.
Sara facilitates a space and process that invites you to access a deeper part of your inner knowing and fully trust yourself.
She brings her intimate knowledge on the intersection of energetics and entrepreneurship that help you to better understand yourself, your relationships and your role within the passionate heart-centered work that brings you to life.
Taking Flight allowed me to deepen my intuition while also teaching me ways to nourish myself AND directly apply my inner knowledge in decision making and business planning. A perfect balance of exploring and honoring the femine and masculine energies within myself."
✨Ruth has taken massive leaps in her personal and professional life this year! She expanded her business in Anderson, SC to include buying a building to be able to grow her community through classes, workshops, retreats, and gatherings. The Discovery Center is centered around healing, both personal, and through the community. Ruth offers one on one therapy as well as classes on expressive art, Social Justice, and so much more!
You can find her at www.centerforlifeskills.org or on Instagram or FB DC4LS
Ruth is a bright light and all of those who work with her are blessed to have someone who is so incredibly kind and capable as their provider.
If you’re looking for the support to find your own way through running a business, I’d love to chat with you about participating in Taking Flight.

In Taking Flight, one of the major themes and invitations of self exploration comes from noticing the world around you, as a reflection of your inner world. It’s one thing to admire the beauty, and a totally different experience to embody the wild outside of you, inside your own being.
Witnessing Ashley take in the wild of the world this past year has been a beautiful example of allowing nature to become a womb space of inner and outer growth. Being able to be a part of the sacred container of her personal and professional expanding was a privilege.
As we spoke on our Taking Flight call today we talked about how she has grown to see with her own eyes and heart her full authentic expression in the world she was hesitant to open up to, last year. It took time, as growth often does. It requires loss of faith in yourself or what you’ve known. It requires rest, boundaries being challenged, play, and often, tears. It needs community, support, and structure. It requires, patience, courage, joy, and recognition of grief that has yet to be expressed.
Growth does not come from learning how to build a website, or learning how to write an elevator pitch, (although it is beneficial).
It comes from being brave enough to see your whole self, so that you can share your full self with the world, through your sacred work.
In taking the time to honor herself and her journey, Ashley is now able to hold a deeper space for others as a healer, artist, and visionary.
Taking Flight isn’t just a business program. It’s a deeply personal intensive for your personal AND professional life.
If you are ready to do your big work, inside and out in the world, I’d love to have you join us for Taking Flight!
We have a free call tonight 11/17/21 at 7:30pm to learn more about the program. Please register through the link in the bio, for the Zoom info. 💗

We’re almost ready to open up registration for next years Taking Flight 2022 Group!
If you’ve been looking for continued community support for your business and personal growth, we may just have the right group for you!
Join Sara Ballard on Wednesday Nov 17th, on Zoom, for a free call to hear all about Taking Flight and answer any of your questions about the program.
We know that having a dedicated container (an energetic space with boundaries, accountability, & regular support) can be one of the most beneficial tools of personal and professional growth. When you feel held, while you’re doing your big work in the world, you have an easier time staying grounded, feeling heard, and are able to process big changes with more ease.
All of this translates into:
✨Becoming more clear on what you want to create.
✨Saying NO to the things that do not support your well-being.
✨Discovering things about yourself, capabilities, desires, wisdom, that you didn’t have an awareness of prior.
✨Learning how you create/learn/produce
✨A greater likelihood of success.
✨Finding your people, a community of humans who cheer you on, lift you up, and inspire you.
✨And SO much MORE!
You must register to get the Zoom link. On Instagram, the link is in our bio. On FB, the link is in the comments.

Mornings like this always start me on the right foot. Colors so glorious that they stop me in my tracks, allowing me to be fully present in the moment. Watching the clouds shift and the colors swirl and expand is like a mirror to my soul, and how my own energies have been shifting and expanding recently.
Here in South Carolina, the weather is finally cooling off, and for some who love the crisp air it feels like a different kind of Spring. A new year. It’s as if we simply needed to “let go” of of our expectations for this past year, like the leaves on the trees, and boom. We’re left with a lighter load, at least energetically.
✨
Do you feel inspired by Autumn? Is this the season that you grow most rapidly in?
✨
What will you do today to honor the feeing of Autumn in your body?
✨
I’ll be working diligently to get out our sign up for Taking Flight 2022! I’m super excited to see what 2022 brings for me, and for you too!

Welcome to the FB page for Taking Flight!
You’re invited to join Nectar Community Founder and Transformational Life & Business ‘Midwife’, Sara Ballard, for a year of deep, nourishing support.
This intensive year has been curated for a small group of women and gender expansive humans who are committed body and soul to birthing their sacred work in the world.
Taking Flight is a sacred space of personal growth, reflection, accountability, learning, sharing, creating, and expanding out of our comfort zones.Whether you are creating or expanding a business, committing to your own personal growth, navigating relationships, or simply just seeking a safe and sacred container to have the world reflected back to you in new and brilliant ways, Taking Flight has been created from your sacred call.
You helped bring this container into existence. So, thank you!It’s easy to mentally separate our business or creative practices from our spiritual or personal growth. When we bulldoze forward in life, without awareness and mindfulness, we tend to miss seeing our biggest lessons. Those lessons, if woven into the fabric of your awareness, can launch you further and faster along your journey.
Significant growth happens when we see that just like our body/mind/soul, we cannot separate any of these things from the other. Creating a business IS a spiritual journey! Creating art, birthing people, or tending to relationships IS spiritual and personal growth!
Taking Flight is a different approach to “coaching.” Instead of giving advice or step by step instruction on how to make 6 figures , the focus of this program is based on embodiment, and trusting the wisdom that you have in your own body, your own intuition, and in your connection to the earth.
You’ll learn how to use a wide array of tools, objects, energetics, relational tools, art mediums, mindfulness practices, and so much more over the course of our year together.
