Cohorts
MEA cohorts consist of small groups of alumni who have attended a workshop together in Baja, Santa Fe or online.
Each cohort stays in touch for continued support, learning, and connection. Many deep friendships form from the time spent together. Some of our cohorts have met monthly for years.

Lasting Friendships
Establish enduring and meaningful relationships with your cohort. Many participants find workshop connections to be among the most significant and lasting in their lives.
My MEA experience was life-changing. Best of all, I found real and unexpected friendship with a cohort of some of the most authentic, gentle, truly inspiring people I’ve ever met.
