Hello there and welcome back to Thrivency’s weekly newsletter! 👋🏽
The promise of a new week means the gift of a new batch of wellness events. Today’s local event lineup will focus on all the happenings you can check out now through March 2026.
Oh, and an exciting update… I’m adding one more city to this list that’s probably well overdue. One of the most wellness-obsessed cities, Los Angeles, will now be featured in this series. Welcome, West Coasters! 🌴
Friendly reminder: if you have any future events that you would like featured, be sure to submit them through this easy form.

Before we dive in, I want to share a little bit about this week’s sponsor. Especially because it’s my newest brand, Thrive Accessories! 🤍
As a sister brand to Thrivency, Thrive Accessories is a one-stop-shop for high-quality gear that helps you show up for your wellness practice. You can shop embroidered grip socks that keep you stable in any Pilates or yoga class, or the canvas carrier tote that easily transports your mat from studio to street.
