Inspiration + JOY

“I don’t want it to be over!” 

It’s the most common thing we hear from alumni when they reach the end of a workshop…

Everyone is always so blown away by everything they’ve learned and experienced – not to mention the deep sense of community they’ve cultivated with their fellow compadres – they want to continue immersing themselves in the magic of MEA even after they’ve returned home.

That’s why we created our Corazón alumni membership program.

We wanted to give you the tools and pathway for continuing your journey of midlife growth – as well as a like-hearted community with whom to share the journey and find the friendship and support you need to thrive, no matter what life throws at you. 

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. 

Here’s what you’ll get with your membership

12 Monthly Online Wisdom Sessions

Join our co-founders, senior facilitators, and the occasional guest faculty member for monthly online deep dives into the MEA curriculum and other topics around longevity, aging, and finding and living with purpose in midlife.

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.

12 Monthly Ongoing Integration Sessions

Got questions about the MEA curriculum or are you seeking input on a particular challenge you’re currently experiencing in your life? Come to our monthly drop-in sessions and get insight from our seasoned faculty.

It’s also a great opportunity to connect with your fellow alumni and share what’s happening in your lives with each other. 

Wisdom Practices

In your Corazon online dashboard, you’ll find tools and training to help you unlock more joy and awe by implementing these powerful practices into your life:

  • The Wisdom Journal – a weekly practice to help you document and process what you experience and learn throughout the week.
  • Awe Walk – how to appreciate nature (even in urban environments) while disconnecting from day-to-day busy-ness and cultivate presence in the moment.
  • Spiritual Health – Explore your current beliefs and design a spiritual framework that allows you to experience awe and feel connected to something larger than yourself.

Growth Tools

You’ll also find these valuable tools designed to help you clarify what matters most to you – and release what’s no longer working:

  • The Midlife Edit – 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.
  • A Transitions Self-Assessment – Identify the transitions you’re experiencing and where you’re at in the process so you can more skillfully navigate the journey.
  • The Reinvented Success Script – Determine what “success” looks like to you at this stage of life and write a new success script for greater joy and fulfillment.

(Mid)LIFE Momentum Skills

Don’t let the term “midlife” scare you – OWN your life experience and use these tools to improve your relationships, collaborate more effectively, and cultivate a growth-focused wisdom mindset:

  • Appreciative Inquiry – how to ask generative, open questions to deepen relationships and unlock the wisdom in others.
  • Intergenerational Collaboration – how to form intergenerational friendships and communicate and collaborate with people of all different ages.
  • Adopting a Growth Mindset – continuous growth is what makes life worth living, which is why it’s so important to keep trying new things and expanding your boundaries

Frequently Asked Questions:

What if I miss an online wisdom circle?

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.

What if I can’t make it to another MEA workshop within a year?

Your $750 credit will get rolled over into the next year, in which case you’ll be able to add it to a second $750 credit to receive $1500 off your tuition.

Can I combine my Corazón credit with financial aid?

No, if you plan to use your $750 credit to attend a workshop you cannot apply for financial aid for that workshop.

What if I have a question and can’t make it to a drop-in session?

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.

How is this different from our local alumni chapter membership?

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.
