As I outlined in this past blog post, we have an impressive line-up of star power coming to Baja and Santa Fe this year including Arthur Brooks, Martha Beck, Michael Franti, Krista Tippett, Michael Meade, Annie Lamott, and the combo of Maria Bello and Donna Karan. If you need any more reason to visit Baja, here’s a wonderful Tablet Hotel article on the new crop of boutique hotels that have popped in the Todos Santos area where MEA is located. And, here’s 25 reasons to visit Santa Fe in 2025.
But, for those of you who can’t visit old Mexico or New Mexico this year, we have four pop-up weekend workshop experiences for you to consider: two in the Bay Area, one in North Carolina, and one in New York:
April 11-13 at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California
April 25-27 at the 1440 Retreat Center, Santa Cruz Mountains, California
June 13-15 at The Art of Living Retreat Center, Boone, North Carolina
July 11-13 at the Omega Institute, Rhineback, New York
All four will focus on my latest book “Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better With Age.” For those of you MEA virgins who haven’t had the time, money, or desire to travel far, this is an opportunity for you to taste-test MEA and spend some time with me in one of four gorgeous retreat centers. For those of you who are MEA alums who live in one of these three areas, and want to bring a friend, spouse, or family member to one of these two-night workshops, you can help them understand why you’re so excited about the MEA community.
