Creative minds. Meaningful relationships. Magical experiences.
This Next Thing is a non-profit organisation created to be a safe, inclusive community of folks who want to make a positive impact in the world. We started this in June 2023 with our inaugural event in Switzerland.

The organisation is led by Abigail Phoenix, Eamon Leonard, and Paul Campbell.
