Return

to Wisdom

From Life’s Big Questions to Meaningful Action

Dates
September 9-10, 2025
led by
Ben Katt

You might not call it wisdom – not yet.

You might call it wanting to understand your place in the bigger story.

Wanting to make sense of what life has taught you – and offer something lasting to the people and world around you.

It’s not about chasing the next task or title.

It’s about turning your attention back to the really big questions: 

… Why are we here?
… What do we really carry with us?
… What gives a life its shape, its richness, its meaning?
… And how do we share what we’ve learned in a way that truly lasts?

When you start living with those questions, something changes.

Your perspective widens.

Your priorities come into focus.

You feel more connected – to yourself, to others, to the world we share.

That’s what our new virtual masterclass is designed to offer:

Space for you to reignite your hunger to know… to explore insight wherever it lives… to uncover your unique wisdom signature… and put your mark on the world in ways that matter.
Introducing

Return to Wisdom:
From Life’s Big Questions to Meaningful Action

Step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with the wellsprings of meaning that give life its richness.

Led by author and MEA faculty member Ben Katt, you’ll explore the Wisdom Well – a guiding framework for the many ways we access insight, from our own lived experience to the traditions, people, and natural world that shape us. Like a well fed by many streams, these sources flow together to sustain, clarify, and inspire the way you live and lead.
This masterclass is designed to help you:
  • Reconnect with your hunger to know – and the big questions that bring life into sharper focus
  • Explore the streams that feed your Wisdom Well – from your own lived experience to the insights offered by others, traditions, and nature
  • Identify your unique wisdom signature – the distinct way your perspective and gifts show up in the world
  • Strengthen your capacity for discernment – so you can navigate uncertainty with more clarity and confidence
  • Draw from what you’ve gathered to create meaningful impact – in your relationships, work, and community
You’ll leave ready to keep expanding your knowledge, glean insight wherever it can be found, and contribute in ways that truly matter.

What Our 2 Days Together Will Look Like

Session One Sourcing Wisdom

Tuesday, September 9 | 8:00–9:30 am PT | 11:00 am–12:30 pm ET

Let’s honor your inner-knowing that something in you is ending – your role, your identity. Examine the beliefs, roles, and definitions of success that may no longer serve you so you can move forward with clarity and alignment.

Session Two Storing & “Storying” Wisdom

Tuesday, September 9 | 4:00–5:30 pm PT | 7:00 pm–8:30 pm ET

In this session, you'll dig deeper into your story and mine your lived experiences and available sources of wisdom for the lessons and ideas you want to bring forward.
 
We'll also look at your access points to each layer of the Wisdom Well and explore practices for expanding your capacity to hold and carry wisdom

Session Three Sharing Wisdom

Wednesday, September 10 | 8:00–9:30 am PT | 11:00 am–12:30 pm ET

Our final session centers on offering your wisdom to others in ways that are authentic, impactful, and sustainable. You’ll leave with practical ideas for integrating wisdom-sharing into your daily life – creating ripples that extend far beyond our time together.

By the end of the masterclass, you’ll be more connected to your own deep well of wisdom – ready to draw from it and bring it forward in ways that matter most.

What You’ll Experience

With Ben Katt as your guide, you will:
  • Explore the streams feeding the Wisdom Well – from your own life experience to the insights offered by others, traditions, and nature
  • Recognize which streams are most present for you now – and how they can guide your decisions, relationships, and perspective
  • Identify your unique wisdom signature – the distinct combination of perspectives and strengths only you can offer
  • Develop practical ways to apply what you learn – turning insight into meaningful action
  • Contribute what you’ve gained in ways that strengthen the “we” we’re all part of
You’ll leave ready to keep expanding your knowledge, glean insight wherever it can be found, and contribute in ways that truly matter.
You’ll leave with a set of tools and a map to guide your ongoing journey, along with a deeper understanding of how you belong to the larger story we’re all part of.

This Masterclass Is For You If…

  • You sense there’s more to life than what’s on your to-do list
  • You feel ready to engage with life’s bigger questions
  • You want to integrate what you’ve learned into how you live now
  • You long to offer something lasting to the people and world around you
  • You’re looking for meaning beyond roles and accomplishments
  • You want the next chapter to feel more purposeful and alive
  • You’re ready to pause, listen, and see what’s ready to emerge
“I thought this chapter was about letting go. Now I see it’s about letting in – wisdom, purpose, joy, and possibility.”

Why This Matters Now

We live in a world overflowing with information but starved for meaning. The pace is fast, the noise constant, and the pressure to keep moving can pull us from the deeper sources that make life rich and whole.

In all that noise, it’s easy to lose touch with the bigger questions – the ones that tend to grow larger, not smaller, as life goes on: 

How do I want to spend my time and energy? What do I want to pass on? How can I make the most of the years ahead?

Without space to reflect, it’s easy to drift,  letting months or even years pass without aligning how we live with what matters most.

Now is the time to slow down, turn toward those questions, and listen – to yourself, to each other, and to the wisdom carried forward through generations.

Return to Wisdom offers that rare space to draw from all levels of your Wisdom Well — so you can step into the next chapter with clarity, connection, and purpose that endures.

Ready to reconnect with what truly matters?

Join us for Return to Wisdom: The Source of What’s Real and Lasting – a 2-day virtual masterclass designed to help you tap into the deeper sources of meaning that give life its richness.

You’ll explore the many ways wisdom flows into your life – from your own lived experience to the insights of others, traditions, and the natural world – and discover your unique wisdom signature. Along the way, you’ll learn how to draw from these sources with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

FAQs

Who is this masterclass for?

This experience is for anyone who feels a quiet pull toward greater clarity, connection, and meaning. Whether you’ve been living with life’s big questions for years or are just beginning to ask them, Return to Wisdom offers a framework – and a place – to explore them with depth and intention.

Do I need to know what I want to do next?

No. You don’t need to arrive with a clear goal or plan. This masterclass is designed to help you reflect, discover, and connect the dots between your life experience and what matters most to you now.

Do I need to attend both days live?

We recommend it, as being there live allows you to fully engage with Ben’s guidance and the reflective practices. But if you can’t make it, you’ll have lifetime access to the session recordings.

What’s included in my registration?

Your registration includes three 90-minute live sessions with Ben Katt, lifetime access to the recordings, and practical tools to help you apply what you’ve learned in your daily life.

Is this therapy or personal coaching?

No. This is a guided learning and reflection experience, not therapy or one-on-one coaching. While it may be personally meaningful, it’s not a substitute for professional mental health support.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. If you register and later find you can’t participate, contact us at least 48 hours before the event begins for a full refund.

This isn’t about searching for something new. It’s about rediscovering what’s always been yours.

Join us September 9–10 for Return to Wisdom: The Source of What’s Real and Lasting and discover the guidance that’s been with you all along – in your own life, in others, and in the world we share.

Because when you know what’s worth carrying forward, every step feels more certain.
