What is a Thrive! Weekend?
Let's face it, modern life is set up for disconnection. It's busy, fast-paced, and no matter how full it feels, there’s no escape from the loneliness that comes from living a fairly isolated existence.
You long to experience real community with like-minded others. You long for more pleasure in your body. Yet, you notice yourself hiding behind barriers of mistrust, hesitation and suspicion - barriers that keep you closed off from connecting more deeply.
You know there’s more to life. You want to do less and be more. You want to melt those inner walls and experience the beauty and juicy aliveness of your own heart. You know it’s there. You’ve felt it. It’s just that sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of everyday, it gets hidden and buried.
But here’s the thing. You were born as part of a tribe. You were never meant to go it alone. You are here for a reason. You are here to thrive, together with other seekers on the path.
When we intentionally come together in this way, we get to experience a new template for the evolving human. We’re all in it together. In this upgraded version of ourselves, your vibrant aliveness is an essential component. That way you get to live your best life, experience true freedom and the sheer joy of being born in a human body.
Imagine for a moment, visiting a place out of time, a place where time stands still. A lush oasis and sanctuary for your soul, where you get to be seen and felt in all your glory. A place where you get to show up exactly as you are. A place where you get to be the real you.
New Eden is that place. New Eden is a beautiful, nourishing, healing space where you get to truly drop into your authentic self, rest and receive. Filled up from the inside, you get to shine your light into the world and expand your range beyond what you previously thought possible.
New Eden is a place that has the feeling of coming home. It’s a place where you can lean into the edges of your self-expression. Finding a freedom you’ve never known. Deepening in your capacity to open. Exploring the range of your pleasure and staying present as you journey forwards with consciousness.
New Eden is a place where people arrive as strangers and leave as lifelong friends. Experiential and purposefully curated with connection in mind, the Weekend Gathering at New Eden will leave you re-connected to yourself, others and the world.
Experience your body. Drop in deeply. Allow yourself to be moved by a deeper connection to yourself and others. Watch the stress and disconnect of modern-day living dissolve and disappear. Experience heart-centred family. Be infused with your own greatness. Leave feeling clear and consciously connected to the beauty of your life. Connect to your tribe.

What Happens at Thrive!?
Each weekend gathering is unique and emergent in nature. This means we co-create our experience together. That said, there are some core ingredients that you'll get to taste. Here are a few...
Heart iQ Circles
You'll spend time with Christian in Circle, and experience the depth and magic of emergent group wisdom.
Embodied Connection
Throughout the weekend, you'll be given multiple opportunities to connect to yourself and others through movement, sound, breath and touch.
Intimacy Practices
We want you to leave each weekend with a practical take-home practice & tool to apply to your life. Each weekend offers training in a different skill.
Divine Relaxation
Many of us carry a subtle core stress, like background static, in our nervous systems and we need to learn how to drop in and relax so that deeper healing can take place.
Q&A Satsang
Over the weekend, you'll have an opportunity to experience being facilitated by Christian in the group amplified field with questions that emerge in the moment.
Music & Dance
Each weekend we offer an Ecstatic Dance experience followed by a chill out lounge party. Dance your heart out and make life-long connections.
