Ricky Williams (now Errick Miron)
Former NFL Star and Heisman Trophy Winner | Professional Astrologer | Transformation Pioneer
How NFL legend Ricky Williams mastered the art of identity evolution – and why his "letting go" method works when everything else fails.
The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner shocked the sports world when he walked away from millions at his career peak. Behind his success were the pressures of being a rebel in the NFL, mental health struggles, and a growing sense that his true calling lay elsewhere.
That complete transformation – from celebrated athlete to master astrologer – was so profound he changed his name to Errick Miron in 2022.
It taught him something powerful: there are predictable cycles that reveal when it's time to let go of who you've been and step into who you're becoming.
That tension between your established identity and your authentic self hits many of us in midlife.
You've spent decades building a life and becoming "someone" in the world's eyes. But you feel a pull to release old roles and stories that no longer fit.Y
You're caught between the security of your known identity and the call of something deeper.
This is exactly where Ricky found himself – and what he learned about navigating identity shifts using astrological life cycles changed everything. He approaches it as a practical framework for understanding human development, using natural patterns to guide conscious evolution.
Now he's sharing his methods.
In this 4-day intensive, you'll discover:
Join the NFL legend who traded touchdowns for truth.
Stop clinging to who you were. Start becoming who you're meant to be.
“One thing I’ve learned about life is that if you really let go, it’s just a joy ride.”
– Errick Miron

Errick Miron (formerly known as Ricky Williams)
Former NFL Star and Heisman Trophy Winner | Professional Astrologer | Transformation Pioneer
Ricky Williams embodies the power of reinvention. After achieving the highest honors in college football and professional success in the NFL, he made the controversial decision to step away from fame and fortune to pursue deeper meaning.
That journey led him through years of study in astrology, depth psychology, and healing arts. Today, as co-founder of Lila Labs, he combines his understanding of human potential with cutting-edge technology.
His unique background – from the pressure of professional athletics to the quiet work of self-discovery – gives him rare insight into the courage required to evolve your identity at any stage of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know anything about astrology to participate?
Not at all. Errick will teach you everything you need to know, starting with the basics. The focus is on practical application for life transitions, not technical astrological knowledge.
Is this workshop religious or spiritual in nature?
While astrology has ancient roots, Errick’s approach is psychological and practical. You’ll explore astrology as a framework for understanding human development cycles, not as a belief system.
What if I’m skeptical about astrology?
Skepticism is welcome. Errick doesn’t ask you to believe in astrology as a belief system. He approaches it as a framework for reflection and timing – similar to how some people use journaling prompts, personality assessments, or mindfulness practices.
Will we need our birth information?
Yes, having your birth date, time, and location will enhance your experience. If you don’t know your exact birth time, you can still participate and gain valuable insights.
How is this different from other personal development workshops?
Rather than generic advice, you’ll work with the specific timing and themes of your personal astrological cycles. It’s highly individualized guidance based on your unique birth chart and life stage.
What’s included in the investment to Errick’s workshop?
Everything: four days of immersive sessions with Errick, luxury accommodations, all meals, extended Lila app access, and workshop materials. You’ll only need to cover travel to Santa Fe and personal expenses.
Still have questions?
Talk with an MEA advisor who’s been in your shoes.
Every advisor is an MEA alum who’s lived the experience firsthand. They’ll answer your questions, share what to expect, and help you decide if this workshop is the right fit for your next chapter.
