You’re being called to something deeper.
At some point, the goals you’ve chased, the roles you’ve played, and the life you’ve built no longer feel as meaningful as they once did.
You’ve accomplished what you set out to do – yet something essential still feels missing, and you can’t help but wonder:
What now? What’s next? What truly matters?
Maybe you feel the pull to shift from striving to serving, from accumulation to contribution. Or maybe you long to create a life that reflects who you are now – not who you were yesterday.
This stirring inside isn’t something to ignore. It’s a signal that it’s time to realign your life with what matters most.
Join us in Baja or Santa Fe to rediscover what lights you up and chart a course toward a life infused with greater meaning, purpose, and joy.

After 20+ years as a CEO I was burnt out and had no vision or energy for my next chapter. One week in Baja reenergized me and I emerged with an inspired vision for my 50s, 60s and beyond.

4-Day Intensive
Rising Circle Ranch, Santa Fe
A focused, energizing reset.
Our four-day intensives deliver the full Navigating Transitions curriculum in an accelerated, immersive format. With less downtime between sessions, you’ll experience a close-knit group dynamic while still having space to relax and enjoy the ranch. It’s a rich, concentrated exploration of what’s next.
The MEA Method is backed by social science, proven by years of research & implementation
Our Navigating Transitions workshops are built around our proven MEA Method, which has been designed in collaboration with academics from Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Yale, who have dedicated themselves to understanding modern midlife.
Together we’ve developed and refined experiential processes that combine the social science of longevity and the art of intentional living to help people in midlife curate a second adulthood that’s as joyful, deep, and meaningful as it is long.
Guided by world-class faculty who’ve walked this path themselves
Our handpicked facilitators are highly trained professionals who are all midlifers themselves and have been extensively trained in the MEA Method. They have all navigated their own periods of reinvention and bring a wealth of experience in helping others create their fulfilling next chapter.
