This is the beginner's meditation course for the Ishayas' Ascension practice, also known as the First Sphere Course. During this course, you will get to learn the four primary techniques of Ascension. These techniques are incredibly powerful and effective at dissolving the root stresses in your nervous system and directing your Awareness onto the source of peace, joy and love within.
The course is designed for you to relax, rest and enjoy. There will also be additional inspirational discourses on the mechanism of how your mind works, what meditation is and what it can do for you, as well as discovering more about the infinite potential of human consciousness.
Learn the Ishayas' Ascension: Beyond Meditation
The word "Ascend" means "to rise beyond".
The Ishayas' Ascension is a system that allows you to rise above/beyond the limiting structure of your mind.
Here you discover the magic and power of life beyond those limits.
It reconnects you with your natural state of Peace, Love, and Harmony.
THE FIRST SPHERE
The course where you will learn the practice of Ascension is called a First Sphere. The First Sphere weekend is taught by qualified & experienced teachers. The course is informal, enlivening, enjoyable and absolutely life changing! It is followed up with a further 6 weeks of contact to refine your practice.
Ascension is unique, contemporary & practical. It can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
During the First Sphere course you will learn four techniques called Ascension Attitudes; which are based on Praise, Gratitude, Love and Compassion. They are effortless to use, yet powerful to practice. Like the thousands of people who have already learned, we are sure you will find the First Sphere course to be simple, relaxing and fun.
FOLLOWING 6 WEEKS
Over the following 6 weeks we will have regular catch ups either as a group or individually to support you in your commitment to using the techniques. You will have every opportunity to experience the benefits, ask questions and enjoy the practice - because thinking about it isn't doing it!
By the end of the course you will have everything you need for a self-sufficient practice that will enhance all areas of your life.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Once you have completed the First Sphere course, you are welcome (and encouraged) to repeat it as often as you wish for free.
There are also many resources available including an online portal called "Ascensionline", webinars and a Facebook group. There are also meetings to attend regularly both online and face to face; plus in person retreats locally & internationally.
As teachers we are committed to supporting you in your Ascension practise however we can. We have a wonderful community of Ascenders and Teachers worldwide - why not connect with like minded people on your next vacation!

At home, I am happily married to my gorgeous wife and the proud father of two amazing daughters.
In my work, I am a best selling author (with seven books to my name including one on the science of meditation), a business mentor and an entrepreneur.
And I am an Ishaya monk! My meditation practice (Ascension) helps me spend most of my day living in the present moment … and I am happier, healthier, more productive … and a better husband, father and friend as a result.
It’s an honour to be teaching this practice.
I absolutely love how Ascension has given me the ability to deal with everything life has thrown at me – leaving me with a constant sense of peace, contentment and joy with the experience of being alive!
As a single mum of 2 active kids, learning how to live fully again after my husband’s death and my own health concerns has been nothing short of miraculous.
I learned to Ascend in 2011 and began teaching in 2014 and Ascension has brought me to the very core of living life completely full with love in every moment.
