"description": "## **The Journey**\n\n_ **The Journey** _ **is Embercombe’s flagship 6-day programme. Created 15 years ago by Mac Macartney, an international speaker, writer and change-maker, he still co-leads every** _ **Journey** _ **. Wherever you are on your own personal journey, whether slumbering, awake, or deeply present to your potential, this profound experience will enrich, enliven and lovingly challenge you. For some it will be an initiation, for some a homecoming, for some a radical deepening.**\n\nwith Mac Macartney, Tugba Kirhan & the Journey Team\n\n**Why Choose The Journey?**\n\nYou might be feeling distracted, overwhelmed or disconnected. Too many of us in today’s world feel that this is all there is to life. You may feel a creeping passivity, that you’re stuck or have become a bystander. Maybe you feel at a crossroads not knowing which way to turn. Or perhaps you are successful and active in the world but are still searching, looking to deepen and become further resourced in an increasingly challenging world.\n\nImagine feeling that you are truly alive and awake – resilient and confident in your ability to navigate the dramas and difficulties of life. You feel a real connection with, and acceptance of, who you are and you are clear at last on what you can offer to the world. Above all you are passionate about making the most of what life gives you every day. That is what we want you to take away from _The Journey_.\n\n15 years ago, we created _The Journey_ for just this and since then we have seen thousands of people pass through the gates of Embercombe, an ancient landscape, now a learning centre and the heart of a highly respected rewilding project.\n\n_The Journey_ is an invitation to become active and present in your life and to step into your full potential. It is a reconnection with yourself, with the earth, with your spiritual being and, most importantly, with your purpose. And with that, an opportunity to gain clarity on what is in your heart and how you can turn that into outward action in the world.\n\nWherever you are on your own personal journey, whether slumbering, awake, or deeply present to your potential, this profound experience will enrich, enliven and lovingly challenge. For some it will be an initiation, for some a homecoming, for some a radical deepening. \n\nOver the course of a week, amidst this ever faster world, we invite you to step away from your everyday routines, to reflect, re-evaluate and find new perspectives. You will be held in a supportive facilitated space, immersed in nature, and alongside others.\n\n**How Does** _ **The Journey** _ **Work?**\n\n_The Journey_ is a 6-day residential programme drawing together people from all walks of life. Journey participants are people of all ages, social groups and experience. The common ground you share is a deep desire to truly be yourselves in your lives, and to make a powerful contribution to the world – one that is aligned with your gifts, passion and experience.\n\nWhat exactly happens on _The Journey _has remained a closely-kept secret. Why? Because we firmly believe that creating expectation takes away from the power of the experience. \n_The Journey_’s transformative power comes from four key elements:\n\n1. A carefully curated programme which includes time in solitude and with others, time on our land and time spent indoors, breathwork, storytelling, coaching and an introduction to ancient practices. \n2. Activities led by skilled & experienced facilitators: \n3. The land, here at Embercombe – part of an ancient landscape of temperate rainforest and river valleys, we are adopting rewilding principles in order to restore nature and rediscover a balance with the wild. Containing woodlands, wild flower meadows, an orchard, gardens, a spring and lake, where thousands of people have attended programmes, sown their prayers, dreams and intentions over the last 25 years. \n4. The people who make each _Journey _unique. Alongside your other Journey participants, who form a powerful and supportive community – you’ll be surprised how quickly! – alumni from previous Journeys return to support. Alongside our chefs preparing delicious, nutritious meals and the wider Embercombe team you’ll find yourself in the heart of a strong community.\n\n**Why This Matters?**\n\nWe see people as powerful beings, all with unique gifts, all with the potential to have meaningful impact in this life. However, modern lifestyles have made us forget. We are distracted, overwhelmed and disconnected. There is a creeping passivity among us, we have become bystanders, observers – very few of us have a sense of the fullness of the agency we could have in the world. \nAnd this really does matter. \nWe need to remember what it means to be human, to become active and find presence in this time of profound planetary change. \nDuring the week there are three questions we will consider:\n\n• What do I most deeply and profoundly love? \n• What are my deepest and most profound gifts? \n• What are my deepest and most profound responsibilities?\n\n**'Back Row' on** _ **The Journey** _\n\nThe Back Row is an integral part of _The Journey_ and a willingness to return to offer this to other Journeyers is much appreciated. If you have previously attended _The Journey_ and would like to return to Embercombe as part of the Back Row, in service of others who are embarking on _The Journey_, please [sign up here](http://www.embercombe.org/back-row).\n\n**TIMES: ** Arrival between 1pm and 1.45pm for a 2pm start.
