ASE training/retreat 2025

17-22 October

.

The ASE Retreat forms the set and setting for this unique training experience. Over these 6 uplifting and transformative days, the ASE Team and the retreat hospitality staff at Parkhotel Emmaus will take care of you on every level – providing the space, sessions and exquisite food to nurture your body, mind and spirit.

.

After this unique training/retreat, you can expect to feel rejuvenated and ready to use the ASE techniques and processes to empower yourself, to be of value to others, and to benefit our planet. To promote sustainable development and integration, the training/retreat is followed by 6 monthly live supervision sessions via Zoom, with the support of many useful resources (details here).

The information below provides an overview of the course content. For an outline of the training/retreat itinerary and structure, visit the ASE Retreat page.

.

Lead Trainer Jevon Dangeli and the ASE Retreat Team will hold space and faciliate processes that may provide you with a deeper understanding of yourself along with your overall purpose in life and clear ways to manifest it. You will escalate your level of emotional, social and spiritual intelligence, becoming a more mindful, bodyful and spiritful human being.

This unique training/retreat will equip you to guide individuals and groups to access their inherently wise, creative and resourceful levels of consciousness. Although this course is well suited to those already in the caring, healing and changework professions, it is also a perfect starting point for those who wish to work in such contexts. There is NO expectation for you to become a ‘helping professional’. Many people choose to attend this training/retreat purely for their own personal and spiritual growth.

No previous experience is necessary in order to join us on this transformative learning journey. If you are already involved in leadership, coaching, therapy, counselling, teaching, training and other helping or developmental professions; the ASE Facilitator Training will raise your level of competency and add tremendous value to your overall expertise.

ASE provides helping professionals with a holistic approach to healing the root of most mental/emotional challenges by focussing on both generative transformation and remedial change. ASE facilitates a context for personal growth that heals your past, empowers you in the present and enables you to co-create a compelling future. Read more about how ASE works here.

ASE empowers people to be in control in stressful situations by allowing for a variety of responses rather than being in a ‘knee jerk reaction’ mode. It also enables the individual to decide their own outcome in any situation instead of being controlled by external influences. – Grigor Stewart
.

Jevon presents an incredible program that has the potential to give people the ability to access the well-spring of human excellence in all of us. The ASE training provides personal development processes that allow the individual to experience Authentic Self Empowerment.
Highly recommend. – Tariq Juneja

The ASE Facilitator Training was delivered professionally with sensitivity and intuition. The integration of theory and experience and practice was seamless and impressive – a remarkable journey! It was life-changing. I loved every second of this course! – Hennie Geldenhuys, MD.


Authentic Self Empowerment Facilitator training/retreat.

The course was fantastic, well presented, with such authenticity and love. It was a deeply profound journey, both personally and professionally. I really enjoyed the energy between us in the group and how we all learnt to really tap into our intuition. The facilitation and development of “open awareness” allowed us to integrate the ASE processes at a deep level so that we left the training competent at facilitating them.
– Stephanie Maurel, Pilates instructor

I found the ASE Facilitator Training extremely helpful, especially for my own personal practice of meditation. I’ve been on a spiritual path for more than 34 years but the ASE training has given me greater understanding of myself as well as others.

  • My journey with Jevon has been nothing short of transformational.  The components of the training were well-structured, interactive, engaging and most importantly, the methods work! I'm so glad I found this course, as not only did I learn to help others improve their self-development I also really developed within myself too. I felt safe and so supported to be vulnerable in the space Jevon held.  I'm in awe of Jevon's knowledge and ability to explain complex topics with ease and simplicity. I left this course with the confidence to begin my own ethical and ecological coaching practice, and serve people in a safe way which ensures powerful results.

    Aimie Duggan Teacher & Coach

  • I got so many important learnings out of the training and felt very supported and taken care of even though it was an online setting. I really liked the fact that you answered all my questions super quickly and thoroughly via e-mail and that the course had a clear structure with reachable milestones. Also, thank you for the wonderful zoom sessions, I always felt excited and even more motivated afterwards!

    Chiara Richter Student

  • I have felt supported, held and encouraged by Jevon. At every opportunity he has made himself available for feedback and further questions. The transpersonal coaching course that he leads at Alef Tust has in some way for me pulled together all previous learnings and study into an integrated sacred wholeness. It’s not an idea or theory of possible wholeness, it’s a deeply felt sense of wholeness.

    Marilyn Cawley University Professor

  • Thank you so very much for the [Open Awarness] masterclass you gave us. Your structure, process and language was nothing short of superb. The response from the participants was superlative. I was especially taken by the beautiful way you held the space. Gentle, strong, present, connected. Jevon, that was really beautiful. Hats off to you! Thank you so much for your generosity, with your time, expertise and with your Spirit.

    Laura Spicer Director of Sound Practice for the SNLP

  • Dear Jevon and Hennie, I wanted to give you some feedback for the ASE course we did 2 months ago: I feel more fully part of this world. Fear is no longer my default setting. This frees me up to think more clearly and make conscious choices instead of just reacting in stressful situations. It's allowing me to trust myself more and things work out. Such a relief. I feel like I let something go...like a whole back-pack of other peoples stuff. And when I eat, I no longer feel like it may be the last meal I ever have. There is no longer a sense of panic around food. I cant tell you how incredible this is. It is SO freeing. I also noticed that I stand up for myself unapologetically now. I am enjoying quietly watching this all unfolding from the inside. Life changing, freedom! There are no words that can really explain or express the impacts and ripple effects...and my gratitude!

    Jessica Gird NGO manager

  • The ASE course is transformative. Thank you for the space you held for each of us. Your passion and delivery of the course is really inspiring. I enjoyed the way the course was structured and the pace at which it was set.  We had a good amount of opportunity to practice. I really valued our “open circle” time in the morning and the way that you allowed the content and flow of the day to be guided around those topics.

    Julie Devitto Teacher

  • Jevon presents an incredible program that has the potential to give people the ability to access the well-spring of human excellence in all of us. For too long we have all suffered silently yet Jevon’s course provides personal development processes that allow the individual to experience authentic Self empowerment. I highly recommend this course.

    Tariq Juneja Entrepreneur

  • I enjoyed the ASE course thoroughly and it exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed the fact that it was not airy-fairy stuff, but based on neurological and psychological facts, but still had a powerful effect on me as a human being.

    My biggest insight was that I can change my “filters” and “programming” (neurological pathways) from a young age up to now to have a better and more baggage free life and that I can live more aware and mindful every day and experience other people and life in a new way.

    Aisie Sinclair Businessman

  • What I enjoyed most about the ASE Emersion event is that the methodology works... I feel empowered. I have tools that can guide me and enable me to be more in control of my life, thoughts and actions. Life does not have to be auto-pilot! Sometimes in the past... it felt as if life was happening to me... I now feel that I can affect life, in how I feel, experience and engage with life... future, past and present.

    Marius Botha Agriculture

  • I loved every moment of the course. My greatest learning was that I am so much more than what I ever could have dreamt of. Broken to whole. Sad to strong. Heavy to light. Lost to found. Dark to bright. Crumbling to solid. Empty to complete. Seeking to fulfilled. Hope to reality!

    Lana Sinclair Mother & business owner

  • Jevon's vast knowledge and profound way of facilitating this course is outstanding, I got much more than what I expected!

    Ursula Scholtz ASE Facilitator

  • This course is magical and transformational – at last I feel competent and confident to do what needs to be done. Jevon and the lovely group created a fun, authentic, kind, gentle and safe space for learning.

    Geertje Bredenkamp ASE Facilitator

  • Jevon remains grounded and real at all times, which creates the best environment for learning. ASE is a great tool that is versatile and fluid. It is also a fool-proof modality.

    Scholastica Williams Human Rights Activist

  • I felt understood at all times, integrated and encouraged. The group was so well guided by Jevon despite the different personalities. I really learnt to believe in my abilities – thank you!

    Estie Teale Business woman

  • Jevon and the group created a powerful connection between all of us and a beautiful bond. The venue was also awesome. I have learnt how to deal with my own perceived issues and can now help others in an easy, well-structured way.

    Jason Newmark Entrepreneur

  • ASE has offered me new ideas, new concepts and new learnings. Everybody can benefit from some ASE nourishment, even if they have no issues. Thank you Jevon!

    Mandy Beart ASE Facilitator

  • The ASE approach is profound in that it inspires answers that really bring about healing and freedom. Awesome!

    Arnold Hofmeyr ASE Facilitator

  • ASE Facilitator Training is for anyone who is willing and open to shifting how life's challenges can be healed and transformed in a practical, do-able and user-friendly way.

    Joanne Moss Coach

  • I am very excited about the great change that has taken place in me on a day to day and moment to moment basis during the pre-study and attendance of the ASE Facilitator Training as well as the Advanced ASE Facilitator Training.

    Mika Button  Secretary

  • Some deep and fundamental work was done. A truly warming and wonderful experience.
