Changes to Spaces in The Phoenix App

Since launching Spaces in The Phoenix App, they’ve become essential tools for members to meet new people, discover events, and explore topics that matter most to them. With over 180 different Phoenix Spaces available, they reflect the vast range of interests and connections that make up our community. 

As we enter the new year, we’re focused on making every experience—whether in our programs or on the App—as meaningful and supportive as possible. 

Spaces play a central role in fostering connections and supporting wellness, particularly through our digital platforms. With that in mind, we’ve taken a closer look at how members engage with Spaces and identified opportunities to make the experience even more impactful in 2025. By addressing areas of overlap and streamlining how members interact, we can enhance the App experience to better meet your needs. 

Starting January 21, we’ll be making some updates to Phoenix Spaces. First, we’re making them easier to discover by renaming some of our most popular Spaces. These changes will help new members—or those exploring new interests—find supportive communities and take the next step on their journey. 

Here’s a list of the Spaces being renamed starting Tuesday, January 21: 

We’re working to make it easier for Phoenix members to discover events and build connections with others in their area or who share similar interests. To support this, we’ll be consolidating some of our smaller or less active Spaces, as well as those that overlap with other communities (by location or topic), into the ones listed below. This transition will begin on February 1, 2025. 

 The table below shows the current Spaces and their new destinations. Be sure to join the Space in the second column before February 1 to stay part of the conversation. Please note: we will not be automatically adding members to the new Spaces, so if you don’t join by February 1, you may miss out on connecting with others or hearing about events. After February 1, the Current Spaces will be deactivated, and will no longer be accessible or discoverable in the App.  

 Here’s the full list of current Spaces and where they will be moving on February 1. 

If you have any questions about these updates or how to join the new Spaces, feel free to reach out to us at info@thephoenix.org. We’re excited to make Spaces even more impactful and look forward to supporting your journey in 2025!
