About Ascension
What is Ascension?
Hosted by Ascending Spirit, a wellness center in Winter Park, CO under the ownership of Allison Jurgens, Ascension is the umbrella of events dedicated to intensive multi-day experiences where guests are immersed in a specific topic and guided through practices to help them discover all-natural preventative healthcare.
​
Each track offers expert facilitators, hands-on learning, activities designed to challenge you physically & mentally, accommodations and a serene location for you to unwind and relax. Our practical approach gives you tools and information in bite-sized chunks you can easily digest and implement post-retreat or workshop.​
​
Our goal is to help you become aware of limiting patterns, thoughts, or behaviors and quell misinformation so you can regain autonomy over your health and well-being. Each event is carefully curated to offer relevant perspectives while optimally allowing time for rest & relaxation.
Event Organizer
Ascension is brought to you by Ascending Spirit, LLC
Owner of Ascending Spirit, Allison Jurgens, was a former Vice President of Global Marketing in a Fortune 500 company in B2B commerce. She has experience working in highly stressful environments (large & small), and has implemented many of the practices we teach at Ascension with great success to help teams navigate the cyclical ups and downs of market dynamics, budget constraints, time pressures, mergers & acquisitions, and resource scarcity.
By creating a foundation of open communication, appreciation for time as a resource, measurable goals and investment in training, she often fostered a culture of positivity and inclusion - moving teams away from a mindset of 'soul sucking jobs' and into a creative space of unlimited possibilities. The outcome: a team of highly organized and motivated individuals recognized for their unique talents and delivery capabilities that feel empowered, engaged and supported.
Excited by these outcomes, Allison moved on to study a broad range of health & wellness practices to further refine her models. She offers coaching and mindfulness strategies to companies interested in prioritizing wellness to reduce turnover, improve morale, decrease miscommunication and restore value and recognition in their personnel.

You Belong Here...
Unlike a typical conference (a.k.a. death by PowerPoint) or wellness retreat (spirituality without context), Ascension experiences are structured to deliver powerful insights by combining lectures, discussions and hands-on practices so you can visualize and embody a path toward restoration & vitality.
During your immersion, you'll have opportunities to gather data, reflect and engage with others, and test a wide variety of wellness practices and instructors to discover what works best for you.
​
Our goal is to provide a safe environment for you to explore, question, play & implement small lifestyle changes that add up to huge gains for your health and well-being.
When you practice self-care, you give permission for others to follow in your footsteps.
