What's Next?
Sadly, like all good things, Thrive 2023 has come to an end, we shared space, learned, shared, and grew as individuals and a community. Our hearts are full, and we cannot thank you enough for joining us and making Thrive 2023 a huge success.
As we process all that we have taken in over the weekend the question of what’s next inevitably comes to mind. While deeply personal we have a few suggestions.
- Practice some self-care while you process everything from the weekend.
- Try to incorporate a few things that you have learned into your daily life however that manifests for you.
- Join the FetLife group to hear about future events from Pragmatically Kinking.
- Read and use the resource list that Devyn Stone’s property, Guan Xuan put together
- Join the Shadow Land FetLife group to learn about future events hosted by Shadow Land
- https://fetlife.com/groups/213674
- Shadow Land was used to power the Thrive website and will be powering more community events soon.
- Send us some feedback and some love, the good and the bad, so we can be even better next year!
- Meet the team - https://thrivevirtualcon.com/team
- Send us feedback - https://thrivevirtualcon.com/feedback
- Never stop growing, learning and being you!
- Now Take a nap! 😊
And finally plan to join us for
Thrive 2024!
