Most men coast. You don’t.


You’ve built the career, the business, the reputation.

People rely on you. But inside, you know something’s missing… clarity, challenge, depth, real brotherhood.

You’re the anchor for others, yet no one holds you to your highest standard.

Your edge is dull. Your relationships and work feel routine. You’re operating well, but not fully alive.

Every man hits a ceiling. Most stay there.

The real risk isn’t failing, it’s settling for less than you’re built for.

Ascension is where that changes.

This is not another men’s group.

It’s the room for men who lead… executives, coaches, founders, leaders who refuse to settle, and who demand more from themselves and each other.

This is a brotherhood where depth is earned, safety is non-negotiable, and leadership is lived.

This is for men who:

  • Lead others but crave a space to raise their own standards

  • Want depth and challenge, not surface-level talk or shallow community

  • Are ready to sharpen emotional intelligence, master their shadow, and expand their identity

  • Know true leadership is grounded, embodied, and real, not bravado or ego

  • Refuse to do it alone, and want to be held higher by men who won’t let them drift

“My life before joining the Ascension was lacking clarity, I was lacking self worth and had fallen back into negative thinking, self doubt and experiencing lots of head noise. One of my mates who has been thoroughly enjoying being part of the Ascension recommended I join and see for myself why he is so happy. Since being involved and part of the community that is the Ascension, I have noticed the head noise is not quite as loud or as frequent, I’m sleeping better and communicating with my partner much more clearly and positively. I have found more love and acceptance for me and I feel much more clarity about who I’m choosing to become.”

What you’ll experience in the Ascension:

  • Forge bonds that hold you to your highest standard, no hiding, no lone wolf

  • Get challenged to break old patterns and grow beyond your current identity

  • Dive deep: emotional mastery, shadow integration, and brotherhood that has your back

  • Build the structure, discipline, and self-trust to lead, perform, and love at your full capacity

  • Wake up driven, clear, and on fire, no more drifting or second-guessing

  • Reignite connection at home, lead with conviction, and walk into any room knowing you belong

How Depth and Safety Are Held

Real depth demands a strong container. Every call, circle, and share happens within clear agreements:

  • What’s shared here stays here, confidentiality is non-negotiable.

  • We challenge with care, never judgment or unsolicited advice.

  • You’re responsible for your process, but never left alone in it.

  • When things get heavy, the facilitator steers the group and holds the frame.

This is how we earn trust and make real brotherhood possible.

How the Ascension Works

  • Weekly live workshops: sharpen your edge and expand your capacity

  • Fortnightly men’s circles: drop the mask, get real, get challenged

  • Relentless accountability: goals, habits, and standards set and kept

  • Private online brotherhood: no more going it alone, ever

  • Full training vault: tactical tools, frameworks, and recordings

Prices in USD.

How You Earn Your Place and Carry the Culture

In the Ascension, you don’t just pay to join, you earn your place by how you show up.

  • New men are paired with a veteran Edge Brother for onboarding, support, and to embody the standard.

  • Veterans who live the code are invited to become Edge Brothers, lead sessions, or take on culture-carrying roles.

  • Leadership is earned: Show up, do the work, raise the standard, and you’ll be asked to support others coming up behind you.

That’s how the brotherhood stays strong for years, not just seasons.

"In order to grow, one often needs more than just one-on-one interaction with a coach. He needs an environment, a community to feel the support of like-minded people. This is what I have found with Ascension. I had worked with Evan before, so this format is definitely a step-up with even more impact. One of the personal shifts is I have managed to embrace and express my personal leadership more fully. The group was also a safe outlet to process my experience as I was going through a major transition in life - relocation to another country. Ascension offers a great space to belong and grow together"

The Ascension Men's Community

Why I created the Ascension?

Growing up, I didn’t have the support I needed, not from other men, and not from my father. I had no guidance, no one to turn to when life felt heavy. So I did what most men do… I kept it all inside, believing I had to figure it out alone.

I carried a lot of shame, like something was wrong with me for struggling. I thought I had to “man up” and push through, but deep down, I craved connection, support, and a place where I could be real about what I was facing.

Everything changed when I joined a men’s community. For the first time, I realized I wasn’t alone. I met men who understood me, who were navigating similar struggles but committed to growth. With brotherhood, guidance, and support, I finally had what I’d been missing. I built deep friendships, gained the tools to overcome challenges, and stepped into a stronger, more confident version of myself.

When that community ended, I knew I had to create something of my own - a space where men could break free from isolation, step into their power, and rise together.

That’s why I built The Ascension… so no man has to walk his path alone. Here, you’ll find a brotherhood of men dedicated to growth, accountability, and becoming the strongest version of themselves in life, relationships, and leadership.

Real Stories. Real Transformations.

What the Ascension members say:

  • “Before joining the Ascension, I felt like I was stuck on a treadmill, working hard but never making progress toward my emotional goals. I was stuck with emotions that I did not know how and where to share. Evan is someone I have really resonated with from the very first time I met him, his calm manner, his understanding of the world and what people go through together with his sought s no-nonsense yet deeply empathetic approach really resonated. I knew I needed someone who could challenge me while supporting me, and the Ascension seemed like the perfect container to grow. Since joining, I’ve gained clarity about what truly matters in my life, developed practical tools to really understand myself and what I am going through everyday. One of the most powerful moments was a question during Shadow Work where I realised my fear of success. Joining the Ascension wasn’t just a decision, it has been a turning point in my journey.”

    Prajesh Chhanabhai

  • "Before joining the Ascension, I had trouble expressing my feelings, especially my anger and sadness. I wanted to belong so much with other people that I would never speak up when a boundary was crossed, I would push down the hurt and ignore it. I resisted joining the Ascension for a while, I had worked with Evan before and I trusted him but the idea of expressing my thoughts and feelings in front of a group of strangers terrified me. So I finally joined to challenge myself and to become a better father and a better person. It is a tough journey, but now I have a group of people who go through similar albeit very different challenges than mine. They believe in me, they support me and more importantly, they keep me accountable. There have been many times when I was having a conversation with someone where I needed to express something and the urge to run away came in, in those moments I think about the men of the Ascension, they give me the courage and I tell myself, I promised them so I need to speak up now. Discovering or re-discovering oneself is a daunting and terrifying task, but I don't do it alone anymore, and this is priceless."

    Aurelien Beraud

  • "The Ascension is simply the formula that works for me. I have always had great trust in Evan, and this community is the apotheosis of all the work we’ve done together in the past. I was able to implement it in my weekly routine, and the impact on my life has been enormous and fast. It is the support system that enables me to work towards becoming the best version of myself. It has helped me understand what changes to make to become a better father and husband. My relationship to my son and to my wife has completely changed since. I have learned to deal with traumas and a lot of interference in my life to make life changing adjustments. The big one for me is that I manage the feeling of anger better which has been very destructive for myself and people I care about. Now I feel empowered and supported to face all the hurdles with the needed tools to become the man I aspire to be."

    Frank David

    Sergey Helmar

  • "I have approached Evan because I was looking to find a way forward. I also felt like I needed to discover my own ‘voice’ and embody it in all aspects of my life. Working with Evan was magical. It was uplifting, deep, sometimes emotional, and definitely healing. He is a great coach and a human being with a big heart. He is very real and open. He knows how to take you to places in your soul where you may not go on your own. And in doing so, you feel guided and supported. I recommend working with Evan if you are serious about deep personal work and need an experienced facilitator to partner with you."

    Chris Firinauskas

  • "Being a part of the community is the connection I didn’t know I needed. Unwavering support, accountability and vulnerability from other men is seriously empowering. I didn’t know what I would get initially, but I’m glad I said yes and took the leap. I am a better person as I am now able to voice thoughts, opinions and perspective to people who understand my experiences. I did not previously have this. I have also become increasingly invested in the success of others, which is energising. I’ve learned that I have an energy and ability to impact which I didn’t know existed (or at least, the extent in which it existed). I’ve also learned how I can be a better man - for my future partner and family, and those I currently deal with. Most importantly, for me. The mens circle is an incredible experience. Again, one which I didn’t know I needed. I was unsure of it to begin with, but it has become my highlight of the week."

    Matt Vacirca

  • "Evan has formed an exceptionally supportive and engaging group of men in the Ascension. For me, who entered the group after a separation with my long-term partner it has been a great place to be both challenged and encouraged as I worked to identify what I want and needed and went about crafting that."

    Craig Thorne

  • “My life before joining the Ascension was lacking clarity, I was lacking self worth and had fallen back into negative thinking, self doubt and experiencing lots of head noise. One of my mates who has been thoroughly enjoying being part of the Ascension recommended I join and see for myself why he is so happy.

I have found more love and acceptance for me and I feel much more clarity about who I’m choosing to become.”
