Welcome to Ascend Connect Venture
“Empowering Individuals. Supporting Families. Connecting Through Nature.”
At Ascend Connect Venture, I believe that nature has the power to heal, inspire, and transform lives. Specialized trail-walking experiences are designed for adults with disabilities, blending eco-therapy, mindfulness, gentle physical activity, and personalized support to create a holistic wellness journey.
My mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and enriching space where individuals can connect with nature, build confidence, and experience the emotional and physical benefits of the outdoors. Whether through guided mindfulness walks, therapeutic nature experiences, or social connection opportunities, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each participant.
Let’s take the next step together—toward greater well-being, independence, and joy in the beauty of the natural world.
Join us on this journey!
The Founder’s Journey :
“I have witnessed firsthand how families, caregivers, and organizations that support individuals often struggle with exhaustion, guilt, and limited access to meaningful resources. My mission is to bridge this gap by offering structured, nature walk activities that not only enhance mental, emotional, and physical well-being but also provide relief and support to those dedicated to their care.” - Ashly Chavez Vasquez
Mission Statment
At Ascend Connect Venture, I create a sanctuary in nature where individuals can rediscover themselves, achieve healing through physical activity, and experience deep tranquillity. Through customized nature walks with therapeutic elements, I support individuals in the Developmental Services (DS) community to release pent-up energy, manage emotions, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. By practicing mindful walking, receiving therapeutic support, and fostering compassionate relationships, care for the body, soothe the mind, and elevate the spirit—one step at a time.
Vision Statement
Picture a world where nature is more than a destination; it serves as a way to heal—an environment where everyone, no matter their abilities, feels acknowledged, appreciated, and empowered. In my guided walks, I aim to nurture joy, resilience, and a profound sense of belonging, creating a future where well-being is anchored in the earth's rhythms and the strength of human connection.
