Meet the Director

Hi, I'm Tessa Magill, and welcome to Thrive!
I created Thrive to harness the healing benefits of nature to boost our well-being and strengthen our sense of community.

I've discovered my own joy, personal growth, and empowerment through hiking and camping in the great outdoors, and I can't wait to help you experience the same!

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve experienced Thrive as a place that is warm and welcoming. Thrive provided me with an opportunity to meet and get to know more of the Ojai community doing one of the things I love—hiking!"

N.S.

"I would recommend you go to an event with Thrive because it teaches you so many important lessons, like self confidence, and self esteem, and how to be kind to the environment. It also just makes you feel a lot more connected to the earth, and shows you to care more about protecting it."

L.C. (12 year old Camping Retreat participant)

"What stood out to me the most from this backpacking trip was how quickly every woman in the group felt open to being vulnerable and share their backgrounds and life experiences. The supportive exercises in serene nature allowed our group as a whole to really connect on a deeper level as strong, powerful wild women sisters!"

S.P. (Women's Backpacking Retreat participant)

"My favorite part was getting outside, relaxing and being able to share my opinions and struggles."

J.B. (14 year old Hiking Workshop participant)

"Thrive wellness workshops have been a bright light for my daughter to connect with other kids during the pandemic and have a safe place with peers and able to talk about anything they want. I could not have asked for a better extra curricular activity that does not involve a screen!"

- Parent of 11 year old participant
