Gathering of Titans Private Retreat
By Chip Conley, Christine Sperber
Gathering of Titan’s Tony Lillios has deeply appreciated MEA’s novel approach to unlocking curiosity and wisdom as an essential tool for midlife and beyond. With more than 3,500 alums from 43 countries and 26 regional chapters globally, MEA is a “modern elder” movement as much as it is a school.
From Oct 20, 2024 - Oct 26, 2024
Welcome to a week dedicated to “long life learning,” – how to live a life that’s as deep and meaningful as it is long. Learn how to find the joy in becoming a beginner again while simultaneously cultivating and harvesting wisdom so you can make a bigger difference in the world and invest in your legacy.
MEA's much-heralded midlife wisdom school curriculum will be supplemented by life-changing conversations relating to Gathering of Titans’ journeys in purpose, community and wellness. The workshop will focus on how to continue our life exploration, constantly seeking and sharing wisdom, and bringing actionable insights, smart questions, and best practices back into the communities in which we live and learn.
Our team will guide and support you to...
