Career Transitions: Your Clear Path Forward
You followed the path to a good life: school, promotions, benefits, a title. Then something shifts. Maybe your company chooses it for you. Maybe you’re still employed but thinking, “I can’t do this for another five years.”
Carolina Lasso followed “all the shoulds.” An immigrant from Colombia, she became valedictorian, won scholarships, worked on Wall Street, and made an impact at Google – until depression, panic attacks, and imposter syndrome made it impossible to ignore her own inner voice.
Join Carolina and host Kari Cardinale for a live conversation about making career moves that are financially grounded, personally meaningful, and wise. Bring your questions for the Q&A.

The Deeper Work: Psilocybin, Psychedelic Research, and a Guided Retreat
August 14, 2026 12:30 PM PT 03:30 PM ET
Psilocybin is changing the conversation about personal growth, emotional healing, and the mind’s capacity to form new patterns.
This October, MEA and Beckley Retreats will bring a small group to Jamaica for The Deeper Work, a five-night guided experience that includes two guided psilocybin ceremonies, contemplative practices, live music, and support before and after the retreat.
Join MEA faculty member and therapist Lori Schwanbeck for a live conversation with Beckley Retreats’ COO Anja Saloranta and co-founder and CEO Neil Markey. Together, they’ll share the research and thinking behind psychedelic treatments, along with a candid look at what responsible psychedelic work involves.
You’ll hear about:
-
What scientists are learning about psilocybin and the brain
-
How guests are screened, prepared, and supported
-
What happens during a professionally guided ceremony
-
Why and how the work continues after you return home
Want to explore the retreat before joining the conversation?
The Deeper Work is our five-night, guided psilocybin retreat in Jamaica for those seeking a carefully held space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.

From Autopilot to Fully Alive: Zen Tools for Presence and Purpose
August 20, 2026 9:00 AM PT 12:00 PM ET
You scroll when you mean to rest, half-listen to loved ones, and reach the end of the day wondering how it flew by. As a Zen priest, teacher, and executive coach, Dan Zigmond brings Zen mindfulness into the places we need it most: demanding work, family life, busy calendars, and the beautiful mess of being human.
Join the Zen teacher and executive coach for a live conversation about staying awake, steady, and connected to your purpose in a world that pulls your attention in a hundred directions.
Dan will share practical ways to step out of autopilot, relate differently to distraction, and create more space between what happens and how you respond. Fresh perspective, simple practices you can use, and the chance to bring your questions to Dan.
