You have made it to this stage of the Thrive 2023 Quest process! Congratulations.
And... just to name it... if you're a bit nervous, we get it :)
In Thrive we work together as a village, and this can be daunting for some. Don't worry, we have plenty of experience holding a village!
Also, the physicality of Thrive is challenging. All we can say is that the you that goes into this experience will not be the same you that comes out of it. You will grow in ways you never thought possible. You will meet and work with your limitations and strengths, and discover what it is like to be supported in both. You will make friendships to last a lifetime.
Expect some nights with little sleep. Physical discomfort from being in the elements, sleeping without the usual comforts, walking to the next camp site. The rumblings of a belly that isn't stuffed full of food, and the amazing heart melting gratitude when you catch or gather something to eat. Utter thankfulness for clean water. When we strip ourselves down to basics we learn how much in our lives is unnecessary, and these insights stay with us for a long time, possibly forever.
So if you're nervous, that's totally normal! And if you're just excited, that's great too. However you feel, to continue on this path, we need a few things from you.
If you do feel the call to Thrive Quest (and it usually is a call, a deep tug inside) and you wish to register, please fill out this application form. It's quite extensive. Your acceptance to this programme is dependant on this section being completed. Your answers mean we are able to meet your needs during this programme. If you have any queries, just get in touch and we can walk you through it.
By filling this out, you're already starting a deep exploration into your story, and deeper than that, into your essence, connected with yourself, your community, and with nature. We're here to help weave the basket of our beautiful wandering village, but what you get from this is really up to you and how deeply you dive into this experience.
Lots of love from us, wherever you are on this journey,
Gina and Lee
