 Six-Month Communal Coaching Immersion

With Kit Hayes

The program starts on February 20, 2026
At The Portal Marin

You've been gifted with an idea you must pursue—but have no idea where to start.

You know the change you need to make, urgently, but are paralyzed. 

You sense there's something more, but you can't discern what it is.

You’ve been stuck in the same pattern for years now. You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. 

Welcome to Answering the Call, a six-month communal coaching immersion for courageous personal transformation. Inside a tightly knit community of 10, you'll commit to one bold, terrifyingly large goal that calls you - then meet every fear, pattern, and hidden block standing in the way. 

Through monthly day-long retreats, nature baths, weekly peer-to-peer accountability, and powerful coaching, you'll learn the lifelong skills of dismantling limiting beliefs, rewiring habits, and tuning your energy to the vibration of your mission. You’ll rise into the version of yourself that’s capable of your calling - and know how to do it again and again.

  • Working with Kit has been nothing short of life-changing.

    She has opened my eyes to countless bodies of work that have had a lasting impact on me, and I am forever grateful for her. I had worked with a few coaches in the past, but no one as multi-faceted in their approach or intuitive as Kit. Every session was packed full of such powerful wisdom, and she empowered me to break through my limiting beliefs and find my light again. Not only is she a huge expander for me, I have such respect for the person she is and the work she is doing in the world. Kit is a gift to anyone that is lucky enough to have the chance to work with her! Thank you, Kit, for changing my life!

  • Prior to meeting with Kit, I was in the midst of a full-blown life crisis.

    I was navigating a career transition without a clear sense of direction, trapped in long-standing patterns of people-pleasing and self-criticism. I felt deeply disconnected—from my values, from the skills I had to offer, and from any vision of where I wanted my life to go. I chose to dive into Kit’s program wholeheartedly, beginning with her in-person retreat in Tomales, California. That experience has become one of my most cherished memories. I stayed at the AppleGarden Farm & Cottage and spent three transformative days working with Kit. Each day, we uncovered new dimensions of myself and practical tools I could carry forward. Most profoundly, she guided me toward an inner wisdom I hadn’t yet accessed and helped me reconnect with the essence of who I am—what I care about, what brings me joy, and how I can pursue those things with both strength and discernment. Kit’s coaching is one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve ever made. It wasn’t just about gaining clarity in my career or goals—it was about learning how to live with intention, confidence, and joy. Kit gave me the courage and tools to build the life I want.

  • I had the absolute privilege of working with Kit Hayes during a time of deep personal and professional transition.

    It’s hard to put into words just how transformative the experience was. Kit holds a powerful mix of intuitive insight, multidisciplinary tools, and unwavering presence that helped me break through blocks I didn’t even realize were standing in my way. With her support, I was able to access levels of alignment, confidence, and success that felt out of reach before. She helped me remember who I am — and step fully into what’s possible. I’ll be working with her for life, and I truly can’t recommend her enough to anyone who is looking to elevate their life, step into their purpose, or move through a season of change with clarity and intention. Kit is the real deal.

  • It’s no exaggeration to say that working with Kit and her Time Away programming has been profoundly life-changing.

    From our very first meeting through six months of sessions, she has been a steady confidant, wise teacher, and nurturing support—exceeding every expectation I had. The practices she guided me through helped me shift from feeling stuck to moving through my days with greater self-awareness, confidence and grounding —in both my professional and personal life. Kit consistently encouraged a thoughtful balance of accountability and grace in goal-setting and personal empowerment. Working with her has been a genuine privilege, and I’ll carry the tools she shared with me for a lifetime. If you’re feeling stuck, craving clarity, or looking to realign with your purpose, I can’t recommend Kit highly enough. Reach out—you won’t regret it.
