About this Event
ENOUGH is ENOUGH. It's time to dissolve the limitations of survival patterning, to rise up and THRIVE. Why? Because we're capable of doing great things, of hard things, and flourishing. Because we're worthy of a life well lived. Because to THRIVE is really to feel ALIVE.

“Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential.”
― Jeannette Walls
++ ---------------------------------- ++
THRIVE is a reignition, a realignment, a recentreing, a reprioritisation, a recalibration. It's carving out intentional space to get clear on what needs to change and what action can be taken from a place of self-leadership. It's about commitment and advocacy to the self. It's about choosing to strive towards claiming a life lived fully-filled with satisfaction, meaning, purpose, prosperity and joy.
Yes change takes self-commitment, self-love, self-attunement, self-care, self-responsibility. Yes, change requires looking within and seeing where we're in our own damn way - where we're keeping ourselves stagnated. Yes, change takes a perspective shift to land in the remembered knowing that everyday fulfillment is possible for us. Yes, change takes awareness and commitment to then take inspired action from that place.
For a second consider the price paid of not emploring conscious, self-led change and remaining stagnated... the price to yourself, to your connections, to your profession, to your community.
It is up to us to step off of the hamster wheel we've been relentlessly cycling to allow the experience of positive progress. It is on us to get our head out of the sand. It's up to us to enable ourselves to THRIVE.

THIVE is an experience for everyone. There are no levels. No prerequisites. It's intended as a reflective yet empowering and actionable day spent among others ready and available to experience life lived thriving.
This is not a day to passively absorb. It's an embodied day to participate in fully. A day to actively engage in your evolution.

What to expect:
Multi-Modality Practices - This day is enriched with variety. Be exposed to new teachings and ways of thinking all in service to expanding your inner-resource pool. With exposure to kundalini yoga, mantra, music, breath, thought-provoking content, authentic relating, sound healing, astrological insights and more, it is our intention that the practices offered that resonate most can be continually developed and drawn upon to support long after leaving the THRIVE container.
Personal Enquiry, Self-Love, Compassion & Inspiration for Action - Curiously enquire inwards with self-love and compassion as to where disempowering beliefs, narratives and ways of behaving could be contributing to being met by an external reality infused with survival themes of limitations and/or stuckness. Make yourself open and available to inspiration and guidance in service to moving the needle of your inner-compass towards thriving.
Wizboms and lots of them!! (aka: wisdom drops) - BRING YOUR JOURNAL to capture any resonant wizbombs and the personal promptings, ideas and realisations that spring off of them!!
Community - The desire to THRIVE is the thread that binds us together for this particular gathering... we all deserve to THRIVE and we gather in this knowing. There will be time to meaningfully connect and deepen the impact of this experience upon us as individuals by sharing it among kindred community.
