Narayani

Narayani was drawn to Ascension over four years ago after seeing a remarkable change in a very close friend that had been using the Ishayas meditation techniques for a short period of time. Twenty-four hours after completing her own First Sphere weekend course she found herself amazed that life had already dramatically changed for the better and almost literally overnight. As a long-time sufferer of depression and seeker for that “Joi de vivre”, finding her depression replaced by a buoyancy and clarity that had been absent since early in life, she felt that if this could be so for her what possibilities were there for others to experience?

“For me, until I learned to Ascend, there was always an internal drive to reconcile the wonder and enjoyment I remember living life from as a child and the day-to-day life of adulthood. I felt there had to be a way to do this, and with Ascension I found it. To see the dawning of realization on people’s faces on their first weekend course; that this could happen so quickly, the discovery of this amazing source of delight and that it’s so accessible - that life truly is more than what it seems - that peace is real and uncomplicated. That is truly amazing and never ceases to inspire.”

Syena

Syena is a Colorado native who enjoys a physical lifestyle including yoga, hiking, rafting, camping and bicycling. She's a huge "people" person and especially loves to work with young children. She recently graduated from her teacher training and is constantly blown away by how easy and fluid life can be when one is lined-up with their greatest desires. She has had a profound, ever-expanding experience since the day she learned how to ascend three years ago. She claims that it only continues to get better and bigger with each passing day. Her goal is to teach those who "want more" how to access the Source of Infinite Potential that is within each and everyone of us.

"The purpose of life? To live, of course. Fully."

Para Devi

What I love about Ascension is that it is all about my experience. As a seriously left-brained person, I have been frustrated by so many practices that want me to either overcome my intellect or to be satisfied with whatever I am able to “understand”. Ascension has given me the tools to move beyond thought, allowing me to focus on my experience of deep peace and boundless joy. The funny thing is that this experience is not only familiar (more like remembering than learning), but is also shared by others. I learned to Ascend because I sought something for myself and discovered a deep appreciation for something that is truly universal and accessible to everyone.

"There is nothing more valuable than to discover the amazing power of praise, gratitude and love to shift my experience of my life and ultimately to affect positive change in the world. "

Vishnu

I came to Ascension because of the amazing and easy difference that I saw it make in the life of someone very close to me. I have been a successful entrepreneur for 40 years and the concept of “being still” and “allowing” everything to just come to me was so far removed from my reality that it took a lot of my innate desire for peace, joy, and freedom for me to trust in this process. I am so grateful that I only had to show up and participate in my first 1st Sphere in order to experience coming home to my true self.

"My experience to date has been - there is a Self within me that is eternally at peace. I don’t need to create that peace or search for it, I only need to be still and allow it to manifest."

Dayavan

Dayavan has spent the last ten years working in travel and experiential education.   As an international travel director and an outdoor adventure guide he had a chance to visit over 35 countries and see most of the United States.  All of this travel was done from a seeker's perspective.  After experiencing the first sphere meditation course, Dayavan never put the practice down. He recently graduated from teacher training and it his passion to share this teaching with anyone and everyone.  His goal is to combine his background as an educator with his experience of Ascension by bringing meditation into the classroom. 

"I knew there had to be something that could be taught to 7 year olds as well as 70 year olds.  It is the simplicity and clarity of this teaching that makes it unique and a joy to share with others."
