All of MEA’s workshops are designed to support you to consciously curate the second half of your adult life. Our curriculum offers three paths through MEA content:
Todos los talleres de MEA están diseñados para apoyarte en la tarea consciente de planificar la segunda mitad de tu vida adulta. Nuestro plan de estudios ofrece tres caminos a través del contenido de MEA:
Navigating Transitions

Cultivating Purpose
Cultivando El Propósito
Find meaning and curiosity when exploring big decisions, or evolving into your next chapter of life. Understand purpose as a regenerative tool.
Encuentra significado y curiosidad al explorar decisiones importantes o evolucionar hacia tu próximo capítulo de vida. Comprende el propósito como una herramienta regenerativa.
Owning Wisdom
Poseyendo Sabiduría
Identify and lean in to the wisdom you have developed to date. Look at a generative second adulthood, engaging in new purposes, new communities, time spent on something greater than yourself.
Identifica y aprovecha la sabiduría que has desarrollado hasta ahora. Contempla una segunda adultez generativa, participando en nuevos propósitos, nuevas comunidades y dedicando tiempo a algo más grande que uno mismo.
All workshops provide a comprehensive set of tools to use right away, a deep connection with a new community, and a 5-star hospitality experience to allow you to recharge and get ready for what’s next. You will learn:
Hacks: practical tools that you can practice while you’re here
Habits: longer term practices that will impact your daily life
Practices: a point of inflection and reflection to support your ongoing journey.

Herramientas prácticas: que puedes poner en práctica mientras estás aquí.

Themed in-person workshops are grounded in research based upon collaboration with academics and prestigious institutions like Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale. Guest faculty weeks feature a chance to experience a deeper dive into their unique content paired with our MEA experiences.
Learning at all stages of life is the glue that drives us to purpose, community, and our evolving wellbeing. Make a commitment to staying healthier, continuing to grow, having an open mindset, and giving back to the world. Instead of “lifelong learning”, we believe “long life learning,” creates a life that is as deep and meaningful as it is long.
Los talleres presenciales temáticos se basan en investigaciones realizadas en colaboración con académicos e instituciones prestigiosas como Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard y Yale. Las semanas con profesores invitados ofrecen la oportunidad de sumergirse más profundamente en su contenido único combinado con nuestras experiencias en MEA.
Aprender en todas las etapas de la vida es el pegamento que nos impulsa hacia el propósito, la comunidad y nuestro bienestar en evolución. Haz un compromiso de mantenerte más saludable, seguir creciendo, tener una mentalidad abierta y devolver al mundo. En lugar de "aprendizaje de por vida", creemos que "aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida" crea una vida tan profunda y significativa como larga.

Food & Beverage
This area attracts chefs from all over the world to explore “la costa del sabor” (the coast of flavor). The culinary tradition in the Todos Santos/El Pescadero area is well-known as there are few places in the world that have more celebrated restaurants per capita than our location. Most people who move to the area say that the culinary scene is part of the reason they chose to make this home.
The cuisine of northern New Mexico is renowned for its unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and Mexican influences, resulting in dishes that feature bold flavors and a rich cultural tapestry. All meals, beverages and alcohol are included in the cost of the workshop.
Alimentos y Bebidas
Esta área atrae a chefs de todo el mundo para explorar "la costa del sabor". La tradición culinaria en la zona de Todos Santos/El Pescadero es conocida, ya que hay pocos lugares en el mundo que tengan más restaurantes aclamados por los habitantes de nuestra ubicación. La mayoría de las personas que se mudan a la zona mencionan que la escena culinaria es parte de la razón por la que eligen hacer de este lugar su hogar.

Chef Tony Peralta sources local ingredients, including fresh produce from our organic garden, to bring the best flavors of Mexico and beyond to our plates each day. Our cuisine leans toward healthy, but that certainly doesn’t preclude a few delicious indulgences. (Plus the occasional margarita if you choose to imbibe). All meals, beverages, and alcohol are included in the cost of the workshop.
El chef Tony Peralta obtiene ingredientes locales, incluyendo productos frescos de nuestro jardín orgánico, para llevar los mejores sabores de México y más allá a nuestros platos cada día.

Todas las comidas, bebidas y alcohol están incluidos en el costo del taller.

Financial Aid
We know that our entire society is made stronger when everyone has the opportunity to learn, participate, and grow, regardless of economic status. To support diverse learning we are committed to having a portion of our workshop participants receive an award. We offer two levels of financial aid on a need-aware basis.
Gold
$
3000
Participants are responsible for $3,000 tuition (50% of full workshop tuition) and their travel costs. We will announce gold-level awards within 5 days of application submission. You will be placed on an upgrade waitlist for a private room – exceptions for specific medical or personal conditions may be considered.
Platinum
$
1500
Participants are responsible for only $1500 tuition (only 25% of full workshop tuition) and their travel costs. We will announce platinum-level awards no more than 5 weeks before the requested workshop start date. Applicants requesting financial aid will be in a shared room with another participant.
Given how much demand we have for this most generous form of financial aid, a small percentage of those who apply are able to be accepted.
Planning a trip can be complicated. Rest assured you can cancel your workshop application and request a full refund of your deposit payment within 24 hours with no penalty.
When is my tuition payment due?
For full-tuition students, a 50% deposit is due at the time of your application. Your acceptance will be confirmed within 3-5 business days. If we’re unable to confirm acceptance, your deposit will be automatically refunded. The balance is due 30 days before the start of your workshop.
Financial aid applicants will be notified of acceptance either within 3-5 business days for Gold Award level or within five weeks prior to the start of the workshop for Platinum Award level. The remainder of tuition is due in full within five business days of the award notification.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance?
We highly recommend purchasing Allianz travel insurance to cover unforeseen illness, travel complications, flight interruptions, and other emergencies. You can also get multiple quotes from Square Mouth.
What if I cancel 30 days before the start date?
MEA understands life events can pop up, making traveling to your planned workshop not possible. Should you need to cancel your attendance to your planned workshop, MEA will provide a 1-time credit to move you to a new workshop within 3 months of the original workshop start date, based upon availability. There will be a $125 change fee added to your final invoice.
Should you not be able to attend one of the offered workshops or there is no remaining availability to move you, MEA will provide a refund minus a 5% administrative fee.
Your deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect you from unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from attending for any reason including, but not limited to illness, travel interruptions, family emergencies, etc.
Get pragmatic tools to change your career, life, and relationships.

Ayuda Financiera
Sabemos que toda nuestra sociedad se fortalece cuando todos tienen la oportunidad de aprender, participar y crecer, independientemente de su situación económica. Para respaldar el aprendizaje diverso, nos comprometemos a que una parte de los participantes de nuestro taller reciba una beca. Ofrecemos dos niveles de ayuda financiera en función de las necesidades.
Oro
$
3000
Los participantes son responsables de una matrícula de $3,000 (el 50% de la matrícula completa del taller) y sus costos de viaje. Anunciaremos las becas de nivel oro en un plazo de 5 días después de recibir la solicitud. Se te colocará en una lista de espera para actualizar a una habitación privada; se pueden considerar excepciones para condiciones médicas o personales específicas.
Platino
$
1500
Los participantes son responsables de solo $1500 de matrícula (solo el 25% de la matrícula completa del taller) y sus costos de viaje. Anunciaremos las becas de nivel platino no más de 5 semanas antes de la fecha de inicio solicitada del taller. Los solicitantes que soliciten ayuda financiera compartirán habitación con otro participante.
Dada la alta demanda que tenemos para esta forma más generosa de ayuda financiera, solo un pequeño porcentaje de quienes aplican pueden ser aceptados.
¿Cuál es la política de cancelación de 24 horas de MEA?
Planificar un viaje puede ser complicado. Ten la seguridad de que puedes cancelar tu solicitud de taller y solicitar un reembolso completo de tu pago de depósito dentro de las 24 horas sin penalización.
¿Cuándo vence el pago de mi matrícula?
Para los estudiantes que pagan la matrícula completa, se debe realizar un depósito del 50% al momento de enviar tu solicitud. La confirmación de tu aceptación se realizará en un plazo de 3 a 5 días hábiles. Si no podemos confirmar la aceptación, tu depósito se reembolsará automáticamente.
El saldo restante debe pagarse 30 días antes del inicio de tu taller. Los solicitantes de ayuda financiera serán notificados de su aceptación en un plazo de 3 a 5 días hábiles para el nivel de premio Oro o dentro de las cinco semanas previas al inicio del taller para el nivel de premio Platino. El resto de la matrícula debe pagarse en su totalidad dentro de los cinco días hábiles posteriores a la notificación del premio.
¿Necesito comprar un seguro de viaje?
Recomendamos encarecidamente adquirir un seguro de viaje de Allianz para cubrir enfermedades imprevistas, complicaciones de viaje, interrupciones de vuelos y otras emergencias. También puedes obtener múltiples cotizaciones de Square Mouth.
¿Qué sucede si cancelo 30 días antes de la fecha de inicio?
MEA comprende que pueden surgir eventos inesperados en la vida, lo que hace que no sea posible viajar a tu taller planificado. En caso de que necesites cancelar tu asistencia a tu taller planificado, MEA proporcionará un crédito único para trasladarte a un nuevo taller dentro de los 3 meses de la fecha original de inicio del taller, según la disponibilidad. Se aplicará una tarifa de cambio de $125 a tu factura final.
Si no puedes asistir a uno de los talleres ofrecidos o no hay disponibilidad restante para trasladarte, MEA proporcionará un reembolso menos una tarifa administrativa del 5%.
¿Qué sucede si cancelo dentro de los 30 días antes de la fecha de inicio?
Tu depósito no es reembolsable y no es transferible. Recomendamos encarecidamente comprar un seguro de viaje para protegerte de circunstancias imprevistas que puedan impedirte asistir por cualquier motivo, incluyendo, pero no limitado a enfermedades, interrupciones de viaje, emergencias familiares, etc.
Obtén herramientas pragmáticas para cambiar tu carrera, vida y relaciones.
How do I apply for financial aid?
We value personal growth and education for all, offering generous financial aid for many of our workshops. Visit the workshop Enroll page and select the workshop you are interested in. If financial aid is available it will appear in the Tuition section and you can apply from there. Visit our Financial Aid page for more information.
I have dietary restrictions. How is the food?
Amongst our sky-high satisfaction scores, guests consistently grant the highest ratings to the food and kitchen team. We accommodate a wide range of dietary needs - please email hospitality@modernelderacademy.com with special needs.
How big is a workshop cohort?
We keep our workshops small, so that everyone has a chance to participate fully. Our cohorts average between 18 and 24 people.
What's the weather like in Santa Fe?
Our climate is comfortable during most of the academic year (October - July). But temperatures can range from “quite cool” to “dang, it’s hot” in a single day, so we recommend these three words when packing: layers, sunscreen, hat! We also send a comprehensive packing list upon acceptance.
How do students get to the MEA Santa Fe campus?
Students traveling to MEA from outside of New Mexico fly into the Albuquerque (ABQ) or Santa Fe (SAF) airports. The campus is a 25-minute drive from downtown Santa Fe.

How do students get to the MEA Baja campus?
Students traveling to MEA from outside of Baja California Sur fly into Los Cabos (SJD) airport. Our round-trip private shuttle picks you up (arrive on the first day of the workshop by 4PM) and brings you back (times on departure day flexible). The shuttle is included in the cost of your workshop on your scheduled arrival and departure days.
Is the Baja area safe?
Our number one priority is your safety. The Todos Santos and El Pescadero areas are almost completely free of criminal activity. We provide safe and reliable transportation in our private shuttle from the time you land until you arrive at our rural, beachfront compound—an hour away from the bustling Cabo area. And, we have 24/7 staff on campus and a state-of-the-art surveillance system.
What's the weather like in Baja and what should I pack?
Our climate is comfortable during most of the academic year (October-July). But temperatures can range from “quite cool” to “dang, it’s hot” in a single day, so we recommend these three words when packing: layers, sunscreen, hat! We also send a comprehensive packing list upon acceptance. We’ve been doing this for years. No one believes us, and we’ve sent links to the weather! We can have a 30-degree swing from day to night. Pack layers! A light puffer is a lovely thing to have in Baja in the winter.
Join us if you feel you want to find more meaning in life and explore your purpose with a community of like-hearted individuals.
Tengo restricciones dietéticas. ¿Cómo es la comida?
Entre nuestras puntuaciones de satisfacción extraordinariamente altas, los huéspedes consistentemente otorgan las calificaciones más altas al equipo de cocina y a la comida. Atendemos una amplia gama de necesidades dietéticas; por favor, envía un correo electrónico a hospitality@modernelderacademy.com con requisitos especiales.
¿Cuál es el proceso de solicitud y cuál es la probabilidad de ser seleccionado si aplico?
Dada la pequeña cantidad de estudiantes en nuestros talleres (18-24 estudiantes), es un proceso competitivo ser aceptado en el taller de tu elección. Aunque buscamos estudiantes en transición y curiosos por aprender y evolucionar, también nos esforzamos por facilitar una diversidad de experiencias en cada cohorte. Por lo tanto, no hay reglas específicas que definan nuestro proceso de aceptación. Si tu solicitud no es aceptada, podemos sugerir otras semanas de MEA donde tu aplicación tenga más probabilidades de ser aceptada, o alentarte a que apliques nuevamente en el futuro.
¿Cómo se transpontan los estudiantes al campus de MEA Baja?
Los estudiantes que viajan a MEA desde fuera de Baja California Sur vuelan al aeropuerto de Los Cabos (SJD). Nuestro servicio de transporte privado de ida y vuelta te recoge (llega en el primer día del taller antes de las 4PM) y te lleva de regreso (los horarios en el día de salida son flexibles). El servicio de transporte está incluido en el costo de tu taller en los días programados de llegada y salida.
¿Es segura el área de Baja?
Nuestra prioridad número uno es su seguridad. Las áreas de Todos Santos y El Pescadero están casi completamente libres de actividad delictiva. Ofrecemos transporte seguro y confiable en nuestro shuttle privado desde el momento en que aterriza hasta que llega a nuestro complejo rural frente a la playa, a una hora de distancia del bullicioso área de Cabo. Además, contamos con personal en el campus las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana y un sistema de vigilancia de última generación.
¿Cómo es el clima en Baja y qué debo empacar?
Nuestro clima es cómodo durante la mayor parte del año académico (octubre-julio). Sin embargo, las temperaturas pueden variar de "bastante fresco" a "¡vaya, hace calor!" en un solo día, así que recomendamos estas tres palabras al empacar: capas, protector solar, sombrero. También enviamos una lista completa de lo que debes empacar al ser aceptado. Llevamos años haciéndolo. Nadie nos cree y enviamos del clima. Podemos tener una variación de 30 grados de día a noche. ¡Empaca capas! Un abrigo ligero es algo encantador de tener en Baja en el invierno.
¿Cuánta gente hay en el taller?
Mantenemos nuestros talleres pequeños para que todos tengan la oportunidad de participar plenamente. Nuestras cohortes tienen un promedio de entre 18 y 24 personas.
Únete a nosotros si sientes que tu proceso de transición se ha prolongado y necesitas un mayor apoyo y atención para realizar hábilmente la transición a tu próximo capítulo.
Success!
