Hey crew! Welcome back to Thrivency’s weekly newsletter 👋🏽

I'm back with a brand new episode of our original video series SACRED SPACES. The focus of episode seven is a spot that proves self-care doesn’t always have to take place within the four walls of a traditional studio. Sometimes it's a horse pasture. 🐴

I recently took a morning yoga class at a family-owned equestrian facility in Concord, NC and left feeling completely recalibrated. Join me for a visit to The Meditation Pasture at Leatherman Lane, where I sat down with co-owner AmyMichele Jones for an inside look at how she and her team turned a working horse farm into a holistic wellness space, surrounded by the calming energy of horses.

A quick word from our sponsor and then we’ll dive in ⤵️

Afternoon energy. Minus the afternoon coffee.

Pique’s new X·E Fountain energy drink delivers clean, caffeine-free energy without the jitters, crash, or dehydration. Vitamin B Complex, magnesium, and electrolytes help support steady focus, while crisp cucumber-celery-lime makes every sip ridiculously refreshing.
