I went on the winter Quest in Jan 2024. I'm so happy I took the plunge to do it because it's completely out of my comfort zone, but I'm really glad I did. I set my intentions on the first day, with the help of Mark and Brendan, which I found helpful. On the second day I learned about myself during my time alone on the moor - that was special. On the third day we were able as a group to reflect on our time out on the Moor. Mark & Brendan, being two personal therapists, are able to hold you in that space. Also hearing other people's stories about what they discovered was a wonderful experience and something that I will never forget.
I can certainly recommend the quest if you are looking for further personal development, to get involved with nature & to understand elements of yourself. I got so much out of my first experience I went back again in May!

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Quest course hosted by Brendan and Mark. What an incredible experience. Initially, I had some apprehensions, but those quickly faded away once I immersed myself in the course. Connecting with nature in such a profound way whilst walking alone was truly mind-blowing and life-changing. The peacefulness and serenity of the environment provided the perfect backdrop for self-reflection and personal growth. Mark and Brendan were the perfect hosts, they created a safe and supportive space which allowed us to delve deep within ourselves and explore our innermost thoughts and emotions. I found sharing our experiences within the group added another layer of richness to the overall experience. Whether you are seeking personal growth or connection with your soul, this course is an incredible opportunity for self discovery and transformation. I highly recommended it!

I decided to go on the Quest course at the beginning of January 2022. I had been experiencing some anxieties about staying away from home which had been getting increasingly worse since the pandemic and all the time spent being at home so I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for me and something which I could face up to in a safe environment. I had also recently come out of a long-term relationship so I felt that this was my calling to look deeper within myself and connect with who I really am away from all of life's distractions. The weekend was a truly wonderful experience for me. With loving guidance and support from Brendan and Mark I was able to explore some difficult and raw emotions in a safe space. Each day I came home from being outdoors to a hot home cooked meal which was prepared by the host. The cottage was very clean with a cosy homely feel to it. The landscape right on the doorstep took my breath away. I found little streams, magnificent forests and miles and miles of moorland to explore. During my time out in nature I was able to connect with myself and get back onto the path that I felt I needed to be on. I came away from the trip feeling re-centered with a renewed energy for the New Year. This was such an enriching, mindful experience for me on such a deep level. I shall be re-booking another trip for later on this year!

I went on the winter Quest in January 2022. I wanted to become a more assertive, positive and stronger me. I was told about these two like-minded guys that run rights of passage courses and I thought why not give it a go? I had what I can only describe as the most mind-blowing experiences and it brought up emotions within me that I've managed to use to my advantage and begin to change my life and being, in a much more positive and meaningful way. Mark and Brendan were amazing and encourage you to be the best version of you. A truly great adventure that I can't wait to repeat and build upon very soon!
