At Ascent, every session launches and lands a different “learning arc.” This session’s arc was launched with a Personal Passions Quest that sent Eagles on a journey to discover hidden talents, or to further develop their known gifts and skill sets.

Heading into the second half of the session, Eagles continued to bring enthusiasm and curiosity to their tribe of learners.
This week marked the halfway point through Session 6 and what a powerful week of learning it was!
