The Power of Media: Transforming Women’s Lives

What if the way we live as we get older offered more choices than living alone or moving into a retirement community?

Join MEA co-founder Chip Conley for an honest conversation with three women who recently experienced life in one of MEA’s Golden Girls–style shared homes in Santa Fe.

They’ll share what it was really like to explore a different approach to midlife and later-life living: having your own space while living alongside a community of peers. Hear firsthand about the unexpected joys, practical realities, shared meals, friendships, privacy, and everyday connection that can emerge when women choose to live independently – together.

Chip and his guests will explore questions like:

• Could co-living be right for me?

• What does it feel like to share a home as an adult?

• How do you balance autonomy, privacy, and connection?

A bent blade of grass, a shift in the wind, a faint impression in the soil. For a tracker, these subtle signs reveal a story. Inner Tracking brings that same attention to your inner life: the thoughts, emotions, sensations, intuitions, and patterns that are always present and often overlooked.

Join MEA’s Lee Johnson, Rev. Melanie Smith, and host Kari Cardinale for a live exploration of this practice – and how greater inner awareness can help you cultivate a deeper relationship with your own experience and navigate life’s questions and choices with greater confidence.

You’ll also get an introduction to the approach Lee and Melanie will bring to Inner Tracking: I Am My Path, their three-day immersive workshop at Rising Circle Ranch this October. Meet the facilitators, explore the practice, and discover whether the workshop is the right next step for you.

Stress changes how we move through the day. It can shorten the breath, disrupt sleep, tighten the body, and turn ordinary decisions into exhausting loops of second-guessing.

Join Kari Cardinale in conversation with breathwork pioneer Anthony Abbagnano and naturopathic doctor and somatic practitioner Amy Rachelle. They’ll explore how the breath can help regulate the nervous system, release held tension, and create more room for clear thinking and grounded action.

Anthony and Amy will share the foundations of their work, the practices participants will explore during their Santa Fe intensive, and how breathwork can support us through periods of pressure, change, and uncertainty.

Bring your questions about breathwork, stress, embodiment, and rebuilding trust in your own decisions.
