Star Power in Santa Fe and Baja


Yes, our two MEA campuses are located in places where the stars at night can be dazzling. But, no less dazzling are the human stars we’ve invited to teach this year (as evidenced by the graphic at the bottom of this post).

On a personal level, it gives me such joy to share the classroom with people I’ve long admired. Last year, Richard Rohr, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Michael Franti all taught me so much as I co-led weeks with them. The latter two are coming back this year (Richard has retired from workshops) along with so many other thought leaders including Emmy-award winning actress Maria Bello who’s teaching with fashion icon Donna Karan in late March or bestselling authors like Arthur Brooks, Annie Lamott, Pico Iyer, and Martha Beck (I’m lucky enough to co-lead with all four of those writers). 

Here are some of the more soulful, subtle teachers who’ll be joining us: OnBeing podcast founder Krista Tippett, mythologist Michael Meade, venture capitalist turned Buddhist coach Jerry Colonna, the world’s most famous astrologer Steven Forrest, and Soul of Money author Lynne Twist (who’s been a real hit the last two times she’s taught at MEA). As well, there are so many wise teachers around the topic of aging from David Stewart of AGEIST and 7-time world champion endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch (who are co-leading a workshop), Encore/Co-Generate founder Marc Freedman, former President of Hearst Magazines and leader of the ROAR movement Michael Clinton, founder of CADDIS Eyewear Tim Parr, and the Mayor of Santa Fe Alan Webber who’ll be teaching with author Richard Leider, one of the world’s leading experts on purpose later in one’s life. 

It’s the first full year we have both campuses open all year so we’ve filled the calendar with so many great choices. I hope you’ll make a commitment to yourself to book at least one workshop this year. For those who don’t know it, we have three kinds of 5-day workshops:

  • Foundational (all-inclusive prices starting at $3,000+): Navigating Transitions, Cultivating Purpose and a Silent Summer Retreat
  • Thought Leaders (prices starting at $4,000+): most of our workshops with guest faculty are here
  • Superluminaries (prices starting at $5,000+): these workshops are larger and tend to sell out quickly (Liz Gilbert’s workshop sold out three days after we put it on our website)

Hope to see you in Santa Fe or Baja!
