Empathy

Quest Founders Ade and Darren have a conversation about why they created this project in 2012 - what inspired them and how did it start to evolve?

Beginnings - how it started

Founders Darren and Ade discuss what actually happens on the first session of The Quest Program. Using the metaphor of a 'voyage' they talk about the themes investigated: Ground rules, Our earliest experiences ages 0-6 years old and the significant moments in our lives. Friday is an evening of 'preparing to sail'

First night of the Program - what happens?

Ade and Darren talk about the content of the first full day of the Quest Program. The content of the day includes the themes of Shame, Family, School experiences, Denial, Compensating behaviours, Limiting beliefs and coping strategies and behaviours

Saturday on the program - what happens?

On Sunday the Quest 'ship' begins its journey back to dry land. This conversation between Ade and Darren looks at the content of this day where themes such as Love, Passion, Integrity and Authenticity are explored

Sunday on the Program - what happens?

3 weeks after the weekend the group comes back for an evening integration session. In this conversation Darren and Ade discuss the content of the evening, the intentions behind it and what it gives participants as they go out into their lives and the wider world

Integration session of the program - what happens?

In this conversation between certified Rising Strong facilitators Darren Brady and Ade Adeniji they explore the 'human physics' of falling down. What happens to us internally when we make mistakes, get rejected or face criticism and how do we choose to react to these set backs externally? Tools from the Rising Strong process are explored: how can we move through disappointments and heartbreaks so we can live large, fulfilled lives?

Many people ask why the Quest is only for Gay and Bi Men. Its a good question and here, Darren and Ade discuss the thinking and the power behind this decision. The conversation sheds light on the need for specific explorations for all different types of people with definitive and specific shared experiences
