Ascend Retreats

I was searching for a retreat that would help me with clarity about next steps in my career as well as help with grief and profound issues in my personal life.
This retreat and the amazing team that runs it exceeded all of my expectations. The team was knowledgeable, kind, and supportive, and are all following a true calling in their lives to be of service to others. Also, the couple who run the villa where the retreat took place were a wonderful addition to the experience. Their villa is beautiful and a welcoming safe haven that they so graciously offer to others for their journeys. And the 100% vegan meals that they make are not only healthy and nutritious but they are truly delicious as well.
I can honestly credit this retreat with a 180 degree turn in my life that has led me back to the self that I had lost.
I would highly recommend this retreat and its guides to all who are ready to start a next phase of self discovery and are searching for more clarity in their lives. Read More

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience, blending profound healing and deep insight with the unique challenges and journeys of business leaders. The setting was breathtaking nestled in the beautiful Spanish hills, with the charming Villa Esencia providing the perfect home away from home. Every detail was carefully curated, from the gourmet, fresh, high-quality plant-based meals to the nurturing environment created by the hosts.
The **leader trio Margot, Denise, and Dev **were absolutely incredible. Their combined wisdom, warmth, and deep understanding of this work left a profound imprint on my experience. It’s clear that this is their calling, and their thoughtful, intentional approach to guiding us through the journey made all the difference.
What made this retreat even more special was the community of attendees. I was lucky to be surrounded by such an inspiring group, and we developed a deep, lasting connection. The live music and singing during the journey elevated everything—it was truly magical, and I can’t imagine the experience without it.
If you’re seeking clarity, healing, or a deeper connection to yourself, this retreat is unparalleled. I walked away with not just insights, but a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Highly recommend! Read More
