Many of you probably have met Ernesto. Apart from being a Quest Graduate, Ernesto is also one of the key players of The Quest and now facilitator of The Weekend Workshop. Ernesto had a successful career working as a Management Consultant for PwC until the end of 2012, when he decided to quit his job with the intention to pursue what he thought would be a more authentic and fulfilling path. After a few projects here and there at the beginning of 2013, Ernesto decided that he needed to take some time out to do some self-inquiry and really explore what he was all about.

On 24th September last year, Ernesto took a flight to Thailand unsure of when he would return. Ernesto’s intention was to spend sometime thinking and delving into some of the questions that for years he had been trying to answer about his personal life and career. Ernesto took with him a bunch of books, a journal, his laptop and a camera. During his travels, he did a 10-day meditation retreat in Northern Thailand, visited psychics and healers in Bali, started to write a book in Koh Samui, spoke at a conference in Malaysia and met a cartographer in Indonesia. Ernesto spent two and half months away, and when he felt ready, he decided to come back last to London last December.

Many of you have been asking Ernesto questions like: What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn? Who did you meet? Amongst other things.  Putting two months of stories in a short conversation is challenging and some curious Questors suggested to Ernesto to run a Bitesize to share with his insights, discoveries and stories. In this Bitesize Ernesto will be taking us thought what he refers to as the “7 golden nuggets” he brought back with him from his adventures.

When: Wednesday 12 February 2014
Time: 6.30pm (arrival), to start 7.00pm – 10.00pm
Where:  The School of Social Entreprenuers, London Bridge
Entry: £5 towards refreshments, and venue hire

The Quest Bitesize is an evening designed exclusively for The Quest graduates to come together and explore issues relevant to our journey of authenticity, and to learn and discover new things that can facilitate our Quest journey. The Quest is a quarterly event in which we will have speakers, discussion forums, guided activities and film screenings as a way of reconnecting with what brought us together and developing a sense of community amongst The Quest Graduates.
