From the mug, to the mat, to the summit — this is the climb we make together.

Experience Ember Ascent

Ember Ascent creates movement-centered experiences rooted in endurance, place, and community.

We design retreats, gatherings, and programs that help people take on hard things — while staying grounded, supported, and well enough to keep going, on the trail and in life.

Every ascent begins with an ember - a spark of intention, a breath, a moment of stillness before the rise. Ember Ascent leads retreats, movement, and mountain experiences that honor the fire within.
— Jessica Houser, Founder

Why we exist

Ember Ascent was built on a simple belief: community and movement can change lives. We exist to create experiences that ground you, challenge you, and connect you — so the strength you find here carries into the rest of your life.
