Inspiration + JOY
To our beloved alumni community,
"I don't want it to be over!" It’s the most common thing people say when they reach the end of their workshop…
Everyone is always so affected by everything they’ve learned and experienced, they want to continue immersing themselves in the magic of the MEA curriculum and community even after they’ve returned home.
That’s why we created our Corazón alumni membership program.
We wanted to give you the tools, support, and pathway for continuing your journey of midlife growth – as well as a like-hearted community with whom to share the journey.
Named after the Spanish word for “heart,” Corazón offers you the chance to deepen your connection to your fellow alumni and the MEA core curriculum.
Whether you experienced a week-long immersion with us or attended one of our multi-week online programs, there’s still so much more for you to discover!
During our monthly online Corazón circles, we’ll explore new tools and strategies that will help you live your best life and go even deeper into the ones you learned during your time with us, so you can keep expanding your ability to thrive, no matter what life throws at you.
Here’s what
you’ll get with your membership
12 Monthly Online Wisdom Sessions
During our monthly online Corazón circles, we’ll explore new tools and strategies that will help you live your best life and go even deeper into the ones you learned during your time with us, so you can keep expanding your ability to thrive, no matter what life throws at you.
Breakout Sessions
Our monthly get-togethers will include small-group breakout sessions that give you more opportunity to connect with your fellow MEA alumni and build community as you share and learn from each other.
Meaningful Discussion
We’ll be focused on the topics that matter to us all at this stage of life: exploring who we are and who we want to be, what we want to experience and create, what we need to thrive now and for years to come. And we will be coming to all of it in a spirit of curiosity and awe and fun.
Monthly Corazón Book & Film Club
Gather in our intimate virtual meeting space with your fellow participants to discuss compelling non-fiction books, novels, and films that address meaningful topics that relate to midlife and aging.
Each monthly gathering will center around a new book or film that inspires rich conversation and self-reflection. Join our vibrant community and connect with fellow members on a life-enriching journey of discovery and growth.
Corazón-Only
Alumni Getaways
Every year, you’ll have the opportunity to attend exclusive Corazón-only alumni getaways that give you the chance to gather in person and enjoy an incredible MEA experience together. In summer 2025, we’ll be hosting our second-annual “Camp Corazón” (aka “summer camp for adults”) in Baja, which is going to be a blast!
Plus, you’ll get early-bird access to alumni-only workshops so you can be sure to secure your spot before spaces fill up.
Corazón Academy
Get exclusive access to valuable tools and training to help you navigate midlife transitions and unlock more joy and awe in your life. Your Corazón Academy dashboard includes:
Contemplations on The Great Midlife Edit
A video from Chip that guides you through the process of conducting an annual audit to clarify what’s working and what’s not so you can more fully embrace the good stuff and let go of what no longer serves you. It’s a powerful way to streamline your life and free yourself to focus on the things that matter most.
Transitions Self-Assessment
Did you know that people go through upwards of 40 significant personal, physical, psychological, professional, and purpose changes during their midlife years? Our midlife transitions assessment will help you gain valuable clarity into the specific transitions you may be experiencing now and alert you to the changes that might be coming down the pipe so you can better understand yourself and prepare for what’s to come so you can better navigate these transitions with clarity, calm, and ease.
Developing a Growth Mindset
Continuous growth is what makes life worth living. That’s why it’s so important to keep trying new things and expanding your boundaries. In this video, MEA alumni and Stanford University psychology professor Carol Dweck shares her groundbreaking work on how to develop a growth mindset. She is a leading expert in the field of motivation and you are sure to find her teaching illuminating.
Appreciative Inquiry Tutorial
One of the best ways to improve your relationships and your communication skills is to learn how to ask better questions. This video shows you how to ask generative, expansive questions that unlock the wisdom in others and help facilitate shared understanding and insight that can eliminate confusion and result in better cooperation and collaboration both personally and professionally.
Wisdom Journal Video Guide
This video from Chip Conley explains how to implement your own weekly Wisdom Journal practice. It’s a powerful way to document and process what you go through and learn throughout the week, so you can glean insight from your experiences and live more mindfully and intentionally. You are sure to notice a difference after the first couple of weeks.
What is Awe and the 8 Wonders of Life
Enjoy this video from psychologist, UC Berkeley Distinguished Professor, and Greater Good Science Center Co-Director Dacher Keltner on the impact of awe in our lives. You’ll learn about the eight sources of wonder and how to incorporate more awe into your life so you can experience more wonder and feel more connected to something larger than yourself.
“Awe Walk” Tutorial
Spiritual Health – This tutorial from the Greater Good Science Center walks you through the process of going on an “awe walk” that will help you appreciate nature (even in urban environments) while disconnecting from day-to-day busy-ness and cultivate presence in the moment. Developed by our own Senior Guest Faculty, psychologist and UC Berkeley Distinguished Professor, Dacher Keltner. Explore your current beliefs and design a spiritual framework that allows you to experience awe and feel connected to something larger than yourself.
The Reinvented Success Script
Your “Success Scripts” are the stories you tell yourself that inspire you to take action and achieve the goals and results you desire in life. In this video, you’ll be invited to explore your success scripts and evaluate whether the ones that have worked for you in the past are still working for you, and whether it’s time to create some new success scripts for yourself – and what they might look like.
24/7 Access to the Corazon Video Resource Library
Featuring links to recordings of our past wisdom circles and online training sessions delving into must-know topics related to purpose, healthy relationships, longevity, and thriving in midlife.

Audiobook: Flatline on the Faultline: My Life Between 40-50 by Chip Conley
During his late 40s, MEA Founder and Executive Chair felt more like a “modern failure” than a “modern elder.” His life had become predictable and overwhelmingly negative. And then he had a near-death experience in which his heartbeat flatlined nine times as a medical team struggled to keep him alive. This book is a captivating testament to the power of redemption and the fact that it’s never too late to change your life for the better.

Frequently Asked Questions
All of our online sessions are recorded so you will be able to watch the replay at a time that’s convenient for you. We do encourage you to attend them live if you can! Showing up and being in community with your fellow alumni is where the magic happens.
No, if you plan to use your $750 credit to attend a workshop you cannot apply for financial aid for that workshop.
Email it to us in advance and we’ll be happy to answer it during the session and send you a link to the replay so you can find the information and gain the insight you seek.
We love our local alumni chapters and are so grateful for our alumni for running them and giving alumni the opportunity to meet up with each other in person in the region where they live.
Our Corazón membership program differs from the alumni chapters as it is the only one being offered through our organization by our senior faculty, giving you more direct access to all of our incredible teachers and facilitators. It’s also the only one that offers ongoing training from our faculty and allowing you the opportunity to connect more deeply with alumni all over the world.
For people who don’t have vibrant local chapters close to where they live, Corazón offers your best opportunity to stay connected with alumni and continue on your MEA journey.
