Ascent: Call to Adventure

Our names shouted in a certain dawn... a message... a summons... There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said - no. But we heeded the call to adventure and boldly stepped forward across the threshold of the unknown and returned with something important to share.

Are you following the right path?

Do you find yourself thinking about doing something different, but you don’t know what?

Do you ever imagine what it would be like to choose the direction of your life?

Ascent helped me discover a path I had neglected, ignored and was trying hard not to see. The mountain is a great teacher, helped by the guides who have been blessed by great insight. Ascent opened me up to a 'most excellent adventure'. David Nicoll

Ascent is the adventure coaching experience that can change your life by helping you find your way onto the right path - the path that leads to your true purpose, your destiny.

The people who join us for Ascent come from all walks of life, all ages, all professions. The one thing that they have in common is that they are searching for an answer when they don’t understand the question.

If you’re ready to understand the question then join us for a completely new Ascent experience - the one day Call to Adventure workshop.

Held in locations across the country, the workshop costs just £95 for a whole day Ascent experience including lunch.

If you’re ready to explore the endless possibilities that lie before you, If you’re ready to find out what you had forgotten about yourself, If you’re ready to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes, Get in touch now, before your wander off the path too far and lose yourself forever ...

"It was a fantastic journey and now I've had a day to reflect, am amused and deeply satisfied that I came back with results different from what I expected but so much bigger, better, deeper than I could have possibly imagined" Will Izzard

Ascent will change your life, and you have to be ready for that. If you feel that your life is not going in the right direction and that you have dreams left unexplored then Ascent will help you find your way back on to the path.

Ascent is unique - there is nothing like it anywhere in the world. It will change your life, but only if you are ready to live your dreams.

Essentially the idea behind the workshop is that the full Ascent experience follows the mythology of the hero's journey as described by Joseph Campbell.

At the end of the Ascent weekend, each of the participants has found their way onto the path. They come thinking they need to be in a certain place and are frustrated that they cannot get there, and they leave feeling that they are heading in the right direction with a sense of excitement to see where that path leads them.

There are deliberately no learning outcomes because it isn't a training course. Ascent isn't about what we teach you, it's about what you discover inside yourself.

The Call to Adventure is a lead in to Ascent, in that it focuses on one step of the journey - the moment that you heed the call and head off in search of adventure. In people's lives, they hear the call and refuse it many times, thinking, "I couldn't do that" or "I need to stay where I am, with what I know".

And so each potential hero chooses to remain in the ordinary world instead of fulfilling his or her destiny. In your environment, people will often be refusing to hear their intuition, backing away from risks, resisting change, because they prefer to refuse the call and stay where they think they are safe.

Therefore, the Call to Adventure doesn't teach you anything you didn't already know, it is a process that is designed to get you to hear that call, loud and clear, and to prepare you to set out on your own adventure.

Whether that's a change of direction or a refocusing on what you excel at, Ascent is purely designed to make you even more of what you already are.
