Work with astrological forces to navigate your life’s journey through times of unprecedented change

We are entering into a period of extraordinary astrological events.

Between March 2023 and July 2025, Pluto is entering Aquarius, Neptune is entering Aries, and Uranus is entering Gemini. It’s been centuries since anything astrological of this magnitude has happened.

Each of these planets has its own astrological meaning – but collectively they operate like the mysterious Hand of God, bringing monumental changes to the world and to the individuals in it.

All three of these planets move very slowly, so their entries into new signs is a big event. The world is changing at lightspeed and in multidimensional ways.

But when you’re able to understand how astrological forces operate and work with them to chart your journey through life, you’re able to surf these waves of change with greater confidence and ease – and create positive outcomes that benefit not only yourself, but humanity as a whole. 

Join Evolutionary Astrology founder Steven Forrest in Santa Fe for an illuminating workshop that will deepen your understanding of the natural laws that shape and direct your life and empower you to participate more effectively in charting your journey forward and creating the world you want to live in.

What you’ll gain

Through a blend of Steven’s astrological teachings and MEA’s embodied activities for self-discovery, you will:

  • Learn about the movements of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto and the impact they might have on world events
  • Explore your personal relationship with these three planets and how their movements may influence your life
  • Understand that there is a larger, transpersonal meaning to our lives – and that astrology can be used to help you live in harmony with that higher purpose
  • Discover how to work with the forces of astrology to create the reality you want to experience and fulfill your evolutionary destiny
  • Define your optimal path and areas of strongest potential, and navigate your journey toward optimal joy and fulfillment
  • Grow your spiritual confidence, deepen your faith in yourself, and reinvigorate your enthusiasm for life

You will leave with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose and a deep sense of being intimately connected to a larger universe around you – one that is rich with meaning and intention, and guided by natural laws and principles that can be understood and acted upon.

Meet your faculty

Steven Forrest

Evolutionary astrologist and author of The Inner Sky, The Changing Sky, The Book of Pluto, Yesterday’s Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation, and more

Steven Forrest is an astrologer, writer, and lecturer who has written nearly a dozen books and is widely considered to be the world’s foremost evolutionary astrologist.

Steven used to write the monthly astrology column for ELLE magazine and has appeared on many radio and television programs. His work has been translated into numerous languages, and he travels widely throughout the world lecturing on astrological topics.
Most notably, he has taught at Omega Institute, the New York Open Center and the Marion Foundation, and addressed the Fellows at Andrew Weil's program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Steven served on the Ethics Committee of the International society for Astrological Research from 2002 through 2006, helping to write the Code of Ethics that governs professional astrology. In 1985, he won the 1985 Professional Astrologers Incorporated Award for "Outstanding Contribution to the Art and Science of Astrology," and was nominated for a United Astrology Congress Regulus Award in 1992, 1995, and 2008.

Rob Brezny, in his popular Real Astrology column, has called Steven “the most brilliant astrologer alive” and Robert Downey, Jr. once said, “I marvel at the accuracy of Steven’s readings. He insists that nothing is so grave as to be beyond repair, and correspondingly that there is no rainbow that won’t be evaporated by poor judgment in the now. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

MEA founder Chip Conley has consulted with Steven for more than 25 years and says, “Steven helped me see my birth chart as both my medicine and my practical pathway to curate my life more joyfully and decisively.”

This workshop is for you if...

You are searching for answers and a clear sense of direction to guide your path forward through uncertain times

You are willing to explore the idea that human beings incarnate in a succession of lifetimes

You believe that a person’s birthchart can reflect the evolutionary condition of their soul at the moment of incarnation

You want to deepen your understanding of astrological forces and how the movement of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto may impact the world and your life

You want to gain more control over the realities you experience, both internally and externally

You’re ready to work with natural laws and astrological forces to consciously co-create your destiny

Meet your MEA facilitators

In addition to the powerful sessions conducted by Steven Forrest, you will be guided through the MEA experience by our seasoned faculty members:

Daniel 'DL' Landes

Experience Facilitator

Before joining MEA, Daniel “DL” Landes spent decades as a restauranteur, author, and publisher. As the owner of multiple restaurants in Denver, CO – and then a hostel in Mexico – he dedicated himself to creating environments where people could work out their humanity while eating and drinking (which is why he fits in so well at MEA).

Now relocated to Santa Fe, DL says that “living in the Galisteo Basin impresses a unique and humbling perspective. Under the expansive, enchanted New Mexican sky I can feel so small and so big. I made a career of kicking up dust; living in the storm until the storm lived in me. When the dust settled two guideposts appeared: Spend more nights under the stars; provide a service.” 

You will appreciate his dedication to creating memorable experiences during your time in Santa Fe.

The Universe isn’t ruled by randomness and luck

Astrology refutes the idea that there is no rhyme or reason to the unfolding of the universe and instead suggests that there are natural laws that we can understand and work with to create the outcomes we want and the world we dream of living in.

After spending five days with Steven and the MEA team, you will have a deeper sense of personal relationship with the planets and a reinvigorated sense of meaning and purpose in your life. 

Are you ready to work in harmony with the underlying forces of the Universe to create a life that delights and fulfills you?

People come for the workshops,
but they stay for the community

This is truly MEA’s “secret sauce” and something you can only experience in person: the powerful connections you will make, not only with your fellow participants and the incredible MEA faculty, but also the deeper sense of connection you will feel to your own inner self and the natural world around you.

Research into aging shows that your relationships play a HUGE role in your health and wellbeing later in life. At MEA, you will make deep and lasting connections and become part of a larger community that will make your life richer and more meaningful.

Many of our alumni cohorts have stayed in close touch for years after their workshop and we have a growing number of local alumni chapters all over the world. It’s a joy for us to see them continuing to offer each other community, friendship, and support as they create thriving midlives for themselves. So if you have been feeling at all disconnected or isolated on your journey, we would love to have you join us!

Have we mentioned the food?

The MEA experience is designed in part by Chip Conley, a world-renowned boutique hotelier, which means the food is amazing.

All of the ingredients are locally sourced, organic, and made from scratch in our kitchens by hand-picked chefs. The delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners will leave you feeling nourished inside and out – not to mention the blended drinks made with fresh fruit and other top-shelf ingredients.
