What kind of legacy are you creating for future generations to remember you by?
It’s such an important question to ask – especially for those of us who have achieved some measure of success in life.
Once you have achieved your career or business goals... raised a family... and made more than enough money to create a good life for yourself – what then?
What new pursuits will you focus your time and energy on ?
What choices will you make, and what actions will you take, to fill your life with purpose, joy, and fulfillment and make a positive difference in the world?
The best way to discover the answers is to cultivate an intimate relationship with your inner guidance system and let it illuminate the path forward to the kind of person you want to be – and the impact you want to make during your time on the planet.
In this Cultivating Purpose workshop co-facilitated with transformational speaker, author, and executive coach Brett Pyle, you will embark on a life-changing quest to connect with your “Extraordinary Why” and gain absolute clarity of purpose around who you want to be and the impact you want to make in the years ahead.
What you’ll gain
Through a combination of our MEA Cultivating Purpose curriculum and Brett’s proven process of self-discovery, rich discussion, and engaging experiential activities, you will:
By the end of your five days with Brett and the MEA faculty, you will have powerful clarity into your purpose and a deep conviction that you are on the right track toward the life you want to live, the impact you want to make, and the person you want to be.

He’s resident “cowboy sage” at our campus in Santa Fe, where his love for the simple yet complex hum of nature has led him to work in holistic land management. As steward of our four-square mile regenerative ranch, Lee translates nature’s teachings into simple insights that encourage us to tune into the inner and outer landscape of the world around us.

When you start asking the right questions, you receive the right answers
The key to knowing what to ask – and how to listen to the right answers and put them to work in your life in a powerful and meaningful way – is to cultivate a strong and intimate relationship with your own inner guidance system.
And though it requires a deep-dive exploration of your own internal landscape, this work is most effective and most powerful when done in the company of other curious achievers and truth-seekers who are searching for answers to life’s biggest questions and wanting to do good work in the world.
No matter who you are or what your current life looks like, you have the power to tell a different story and design a purpose-driven life that brings you deep joy and fulfillment. Together, you, Brett and the rest of your cohort will connect with your true essence and uncover an “Extraordinary Why” that points the way forward to greater impact and your lasting legacy.
