You’ve built a good life. But somewhere along the way, you lost the fire that once fueled you.
You’ve outgrown a role that once gave you purpose
You’ve walked the expected path – and done it well.
But now, something inside you has gone quiet.
(Or maybe it’s begun to scream.)
You know you can’t keep moving forward on autopilot.
The map you were following no longer makes sense.
The roles that once defined you don’t quite fit.
The success you worked so hard for didn’t bring the fulfillment you hoped it would.
And beneath it all, one question has started to rise:
Is this really where I’m meant to be?
The moment you ask that question, the journey begins.
Not the journey you planned for – but the one that calls you back to yourself.
This is the deeper work of midlife: an inner quest that myths have mapped for centuries.
When you’re able to recognize the path, you're no longer lost.
That’s exactly what our new virtual masterclass is designed to offer – a map to help you understand the terrain and walk it with greater courage, clarity, and purpose.
Introducing
Answer the Call:
The Hero’s Journey in Midlife
Led by author, coach, and meditation guide Ben Katt, this new masterclass is designed to help you make sense of midlife’s upheaval and uncertainty – and see it not as a problem to solve, but as the gateway to the most meaningful chapter of your life.
Over two days, you’ll explore how to:
If you’ve been feeling unmoored or unsure of who you’re becoming, this is your invitation to pause, reset – and begin the journey to wholeness and renewal.
What Our 2 Days
Together Will Look Like
Day One
Tuesday, August 19, 2025
Session One
Leaving
the Familiar
8:00–9:30 am Pacific | 11:00 am–12:30 pm Eastern
This is where the journey begins. In this opening session, we’ll explore the signs that something in your life – or in you – is ending. You’ll begin to name the roles, identities, and expectations that no longer fit, and start releasing what no longer serves your deeper becoming.
Session Two
Navigating
the Unknown
4:00–5:30 pm Pacific | 7:00–8:30 pm Eastern
This is the disorienting middle where familiar rules no longer apply. We’ll explore what it means to lose your bearings and face the inner trials of midlife: fear, resistance, grief, and doubt. You’ll begin to see this uncertain terrain not as failure or confusion, but as the place where real transformation begins.
Day Two
Wednesday, August 20, 2025
Session Three
Rising to
Wholeness
8:00–9:30 am Pacific | 11:00 am–12:30 pm Eastern
In this final session, we’ll focus on meaning and return. You’ll gather the insights revealed along the way and begin to integrate them into a clearer, more authentic sense of self. This is about reclaiming purpose – and stepping into what’s next with wisdom, intention, and heart.
Meet Your Facilitator
Ben Katt
MEA Facilitator & Curriculum Designer
Inner Journey Guide
Ben Katt has spent the past twenty years helping people navigate the uncertain terrain of personal transformation – especially in moments when the old maps no longer work.
He’s the author of The Way Home: Discovering the Hero’s Journey to Wholeness in Midlife, a deeply personal and practical exploration of what it means to lose your way and find something more true on the other side.
Ben serves as a hospice chaplain and founded the WITHIN Prison Meditation Project. He also writes the STILL newsletter, where he shares reflections on identity, belonging, and the lifelong work of becoming who we really are.
An advanced meditation teacher, Ben holds a Master of Divinity degree and spent over a decade as an ordained minister. He’s led national work with The On Being Project to support spiritual leaders in healing and renewal – and brings that same depth, compassion, and clarity to his teaching today.
Ben won’t hand you answers, but he will help you ask better questions. And he’ll walk beside you as you begin to listen for what’s calling you forward.
What people are saying
Having co-led workshops with him and extensively recommended his book, I'm a big fan of Ben Katt's wise perspective on the human journey. He's a secular saint who can translate any mystical message into a practical action plan.
Chip Conley
NY Times bestselling author and founder of MEA
Ben gently yet rigorously guides you on a unique journey of self-discovery, blending awareness and rituals. As you surface what no longer serves you, he supports you through rituals of release and renewal, empowering you to step into your full strength.
An incredible mentor with whom you can be brutally vulnerable. You are safe, supported, and beautifully brought back to your authentic self through his considered, insightful and judgment-free approach.
Ben is an excellent listener. He makes what you are saying and speaks it back to you with the meaning you intended but couldn't necessarily articulate. You are safe, supported, and beautifully brought back to your authentic self through his considered, insightful, and judgment-free approach, sprinkled throughout with some purposeful play!
I loved the individual attentiveness that Ben took in my development. He was clearly genuinely interested in hearing about both my successes and challenges. He exudes an enthusiasm about meditation (which sounds oxymoronic -- ha!) that's contagious.
Ben Katt's coaching program is truly like no other and irreversibly transformative. It is well guided, inspiring, and personalized… culminating – at least for me – in a remarkable emergence of my true self, unshackled by past limiting beliefs and patterns.
Ben is amazing! I’ve tried all different kinds of apps/programs and none of them stuck with me. I was always told to “clear my mind” and I would get frustrated that I couldn’t do so. He meets you where you’re at in your journey and simply helps you just BE.
Ben's knowledge, passion, and ability to translate to beginners is incredible. He is able to take potentially uncomfortable topics and discuss them with ease and compassion. He is able to take abstract concepts and make them vivid and clear through everyday analogies. Thank you Ben!
Ben is very patient and a knowledgeable instructor/teacher. He finds ways to be engaging as well as flexible to give you the full experience while allowing you to also hold accountability for the changes that you need.
