What Is the Ascension Retreat?

The Ascension Retreat is a 3-day, in-person guided experience designed to help you release what you’ve been carrying, awaken your divine light, and reconnect with God at the level of your body, breath, and soul.

It’s a space to step away from the noise of your surroundings and the world and into sacred presence with yourself.

Over three days, you’ll move through breathwork journeys, somatic release practices, masculine and feminine polarity exercises, deep group connection, and Christ-aligned teachings that help your soul return home to itself.

Everything at this retreat is held with care and intention.

You will never be pushed beyond what your body or spirit is ready for.

You will be supported, witnessed, and guided as old patterns dissolve and your true divine self begins to emerge - clear, grounded, and guided.

Whether you’ve been on a spiritual path for years or are just beginning to feel the call, this retreat will meet you where you are and take you deeper than you've gone before.

Even if you’re feeling lost, come as you are. 

This sacred weekend was created to help you live your most aligned life not someday, but now.

Led by Jake Whan
 

Certified Breathwork Facilitator, Somatic Therapist, Akashic Healer, and founder of Ascension University, Jake has guided hundreds across the world to living their most aligned life and soul mission through breathwork, healing, and spiritual transformation. His work bridges the body and the soul, helping people move from fragmentation to coherence, from theory to embodiment, and from separation to God.

You know this isn’t how you’re meant to be living but you’re not sure how to get there.

You might feel fragmented, uncertain, or spiritually restless. 

You want to feel grounded in your body, clear in your heart, and connected to God. 

You’re searching for truth. 

What you need isn’t more information.

You need a space to slow down and reset your nervous system.

To open your channel, remember your truth, and feel the presence of the divine move through you so you can be guided and live in true alignment with God.

This is also for you if you want to experience Jake’s guidance in-person in deepening your healing and awakening, and connect with other souls walking the same path.

Throughout the three days, you’ll be guided through a program that’s been designed to reset your nervous system, open your heart, and activate your spiritual remembrance:

3. Masculine & Feminine Energetic Practices

You’ll explore practices that bring balance, integrity, safety, openness, receptivity, and divine alignment into your body.

4. Teachings on Ascension & Divine Connection

Jake will guide you into what it truly means to walk with God, awaken your divine light, and embody higher consciousness in everyday life.

5. Community Sharing Circles

You will be witnessed, held, and supported by others walking the same path of remembrance.

6. Hot Seat Q&A + Coaching

You’ll receive tailored guidance around spirituality, healing, emotional blocks, integration, and your relationship with God.

Should You Come?

This retreat exists because alone is the slowest, hardest path to God.

Jake has navigated the journey from anxiety, fear, and disconnection into a life rooted in God, purpose, and service and at the Ascension Retreat, he holds the frequency and the safety required for you to go where you are too afraid to go alone. 

You receive the map, all you need to bring the willingness to walk it.

This retreat is for you if:

You feel stuck, fragmented, or spiritually disconnected.

You don’t want more information, you want guidance and true embodiment.

You’re willing to show up, feel, and participate fully in your own transformation.

You’re ready to feel connected to God directly.

You’re seeking clarity, coherence, and deep alignment with your soul truth.

You’re not here for surface-level healing. You’re ready to rise into your divine self.

Whether or not this is the right time for you, take a moment to listen to your body and let it guide you towards a decision that feels aligned.

And if that is yes:

“Jake was absolutely amazing! Every part of the experience felt carefully thought out and intentionally designed from the initial call to the breathwork to the integration afterwards. Jake held an extremely safe and poignant container that really allowed me to surrender to myself and the experience and get exactly what I needed. I am forever grateful for the opportunity and definitely plan to continue utilizing him along my journey!” - Adam

“Working with Jake was the most transformational experience of my life. I’ve done therapy, coaching, and workshops before… but nothing touched the level of depth and truth I found in his breathwork sessions and teachings. He helped me access a version of myself I always knew was there, but didn’t know how to reach. The combination of nervous system healing, spiritual guidance, and pure heart energy cracked me open. I left feeling clear in my purpose, connected to my soul, and ready to lead from a place of love.” - Joe

 "Jake holds space so beautifully. His energy and gifts were balanced and I just felt held fully by him in the space. Thanks to his healing approaches I was able to process a huge amount of family trauma. By the end I was in such a place of bliss. I would definitely sit in ceremony with him again!" - Rachel
