Why You Ought to Come to Baja This Fall.


First off, we’re proud that the Wall Street Journal featured MEA yesterday as the lead educational option for people who are exploring midlife pathways.

I have three great reasons why you should book an MEA fall workshop soon:

  1. It’s my favorite time of year to be here as it’s green after the late summer rains, the sea turtles are starting to hatch on the beach, and the whales are starting to migrate our direction.
  2. I don’t know if we’ve ever had such a powerhouse line-up of guest faculty to choose from in one quarter from Marc Freedman to Vanessa Inn to Richard Leider to Lynne Twist to Dacher Keltner.
  3. Starting in January, MEA’s pricing goes up plus MEA will be getting a lot of media attention due to my “Learning to Love Midlife” book coming out and our launch of our Santa Fe Ranch campus.

Given how many of our most popular thought leaders are teaching this fall, 6 of the 8 workshops are 5-night Mastery Weeks compared to just 2 that are our core curriculum 7-night program. Our 7-night program is two-thirds our core content and one-third the guest faculty’s content, while our Mastery Weeks is one-third our core content and two-thirds the guest faculty (our alums particularly appreciate Mastery Weeks but they’re available to anyone).

Women’s Week: Living With Purpose and Passion (Oct 1-8). Diane Flynn and Dr. Alex White have built a following of MEA women who’ve fallen in love with this workshop and the connections they’ve made.

Mastery Week: The Magic of Cross-Generational Wisdom (Oct 9-14). I’m looking forward to co-leading this workshop with my hero, Marc Freedman, as well as the impressive Millennial Serena Bian.

Mastery Week: Learning to Love Midlife (Oct 16-21). 3 months before my new book comes out, I unveil the 12 reasons why life gets better with age and how midlife is a “chrysalis,” not a crisis. Almost sold-out.

Mastery Week: Essence Leads to Power (Oct 23-28). The magical Vanessa Inn is one of the most wise personal advisors to Hollywood celebrities and she’s paired with MEA co-founder Jeff Hamaoui.

Mastery Week: Power of Purpose (Nov 6-11). Richard Leider may be the most highly-regarded person on the planet when it comes to purpose and this workshop was a quick sell-out last year so book soon.

Mastery Week: The Soul of Money (Nov 27-Dec 2). Bestselling author and philanthropist Lynne Twist offers a week focused on how to create a compassionate and inspiring relationship with money.

Renewing Purpose: Modern Rituals to Navigate Life Transitions (Dec 3-10). The inspirational Day Schildkret joins MEA as a new faculty member and I feel deeply fortunate to be co-leading with him.

Mastery Week: Cultivating Awe (Dec 11-16). Dacher Keltner has been teaching at MEA since we opened and, as the leading authority on the value of Awe in one’s life, this workshop will sell-out quickly.

P.S. Want a last-minute financial aid offer to come to MEA Baja? We have Gold and Platinum level financial aid for the last three workshops of our summer season when it’s perfect weather to enjoy our three pools:

Restoring Our Roots to Restore Our Inner Strength (Aug 6-13)
